Lipo-shaping... When to Combine with Skin Tightening

from Body By Poly Podcast · host Dr. Alain Polynice

Why Liposuction Patients Get Disappointed: Weight Loss vs. Body SculptingDr. Alain Polynice explains that patients may be disappointed after liposuction when it’s used for the wrong goals or the wrong candidate. Liposuction is a body sculpting and shaping procedure, not a weight-loss solution, and there are limits to how much fat can be safely removed. Being overly aggressive—especially in patients who are overweight—can worsen skin laxity and create loose skin. He notes that liposuction alone works best when the patient has a localized trouble spot and tight, high-quality skin that can re-drape after fat removal, while areas with existing loose skin or stretch marks may require added skin tightening (such as Renuvion) or even skin excision procedures like a tummy tuck or lift. He emphasizes the importance of being close to ideal weight and having a detailed consultation.00:00 Why Patients Disappointed00:44 Not Weight Loss01:01 Loose Skin Risk01:47 Who Is Ideal02:10 Add Skin Tightening02:48 Consultation And Next Stepshttps://www.bodybypoly.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly
