In the world of aesthetics, sometimes the smallest procedures yield the biggest results. While major surgeries like facelifts or body contouring tend to get the spotlight, there are many low-downtime, minimally invasive procedures that refine your look while optimizing your outcomes (especially when paired with other treatments).
Today, we’re discussing three standout procedures: submental liposuction, Renuvion skin tightening, and Renuva. These are game changers for patients who want noticeable improvements without extensive downtime or the need for more invasive surgery.
Submental Liposuction: Define the Jawline and Refresh Your Side Profile
If you’ve ever felt that your double chin or lack of jawline definition doesn’t match the rest of your face, submental liposuction could be the solution.
What It Does:
This targeted liposuction procedure removes excess fat under the chin and around the upper neck, sculpting the jawline and creating a sharper, more youthful profile.
Why It Works:
Submental liposuction is quick, effective, and performed under local anesthesia here at GCPS. The results are permanent (as long as your weight remains stable), and recovery is relatively easy compared to larger body procedures.
Ideal For:
This is a great option for patients with good skin elasticity who are bothered by a “full” neck or lack of definition in the lower face.
Renuvion Skin Tightening: The Secret Weapon for Firmer, Smoother Skin
Loose skin can undermine even the best results from fat removal or weight loss. That’s where Renuvion comes in.
What It Does:
Renuvion uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to contract the skin from the inside out, stimulating collagen production and creating visible tightening over time.aaaAS
Why It Works:
This device is minimally invasive and is often added to liposuction procedures for boosted contouring. Think of it as the missing piece between non-invasive skin treatments and traditional plastic surgery!
Ideal For:
Renuvion works best for patients who want subtle tightening in areas like the neck, arms, abdomen, or thighs without long incisions or significant downtime.
Renuva Volume Restoration Without Traditional Fat Grafting
As we all know, aging often brings volume loss, particularly in the face, hands, and even the body. Renuva is a relatively new product that replaces lost volume, without the need for liposuction or fat transfer.
What It Does:
Renuva is an injectable adipose matrix derived from donor tissue. Once injected, it acts as a scaffold or matrix that your body repopulates with its own fat cells, naturally restoring volume over time.
Why It Works:
We love Renuva for small-volume corrections and touch-ups where traditional fat grafting would be too invasive. Results develop gradually and feel natural. It’s also a great addition to breast augmentations and Brazilian butt lifts.
Ideal For:
Renuva is perfect for patients who want to smooth dents or irregularities after liposuction, restore volume, or rejuvenate the hands, without surgery.
Combination Is Key
These procedures aren’t just powerful on their own—they shine even brighter when combined. For instance, pairing submental liposuction with Renuvion can sculpt and tighten the neck and jawline in a single session. Adding Renuva to fill in hollows or irregularities post-lipo can take a good result to a great one.
The best part? These add-ons often involve little to no additional downtime and can significantly improve the refinement, harmony, and longevity of your results.
