Surgeon-Led Skin Tightening at Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery

At Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery, skin tightening is guided directly by Dr. Lisa Learn, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than a decade of surgical experience in the face and body. She personally evaluates each patient's anatomy and goals to shape a plan built on years of surgical judgment. If loose skin around your neck, arms, midsection, or thighs is holding you back, schedule a consultation to see whether this surgeon-directed approach is right for you.

What Is Renuvion?

Renuvion is a surgeon-directed skin tightening technology that combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to contract the collagen layer just beneath the skin. Dr. Learn delivers this energy through a small access point, encouraging the skin to tighten in place and helping refine contour and firmness after weight changes, pregnancy, or aging. Because it is performed under direct surgical guidance, Renuvion can treat areas across the face and body, including the submental area beneath the chin, the upper arms, the inner thighs, and the abdomen.

Benefits of Renuvion

Patients who choose Renuvion with Dr. Learn may notice:

  • Tighter, smoother skin over treated areas
  • Refined contour in the chin, arms, thighs, or abdomen
  • Less need for excisional surgery in appropriately selected cases
  • Layered results when paired with a facelift or arm lift
  • Minimal scarring from small access incisions
  • Gradual, natural-looking improvement as collagen rebuilds

Am I a Good Candidate for Renuvion?

Good candidates for Renuvion typically have mild to moderate skin laxity in the face, neck, arms, thighs, or abdomen and are close to a stable weight. Dr. Learn also recommends it for patients already planning a facelift or arm lift who want additional tightening in the same surgery. Those with significant excess skin or muscle laxity are often better suited to excisional surgery, which Dr. Learn will discuss honestly during your evaluation.

Why Choose Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery for Renuvion?

Dr. Learn's experience in both facial rejuvenation and body contouring allows her to judge when Renuvion alone will meet your goals and when it should be layered into a facelift, arm lift, or other procedure. Her approach favors precision over trend-driven treatment, with every recommendation shaped by your anatomy and desired outcome.

Your Consultation

Your consultation starts with a conversation about the areas that concern you most: the chin, upper arms, inner thighs, or abdomen. Dr. Learn evaluates your skin quality and anatomy, then explains how Renuvion may fit your plan on its own or alongside another procedure. You'll leave with realistic expectations and clear next steps.

How Much Does It Cost?

Renuvion pricing depends on the treatment areas involved and whether it's performed alone or as part of a larger surgical plan. Dr. Learn provides a personalized quote once your treatment areas and goals are confirmed at consultation. The practice also offers financing options to help make treatment more accessible.

What to Expect During Renuvion Treatment

Facial and Submental Treatment

For patients with loose skin beneath the chin or jawline, Dr. Learn uses Renuvion to contract tissue through a small access point. This can refine the submental contour on its own, or address laxity a facelift or neck lift doesn't fully resolve.

Arms, Inner Thighs, and Abdomen

Renuvion also treats loose skin along the upper arms, inner thighs, and abdomen, often during the same session as liposuction or another body contouring procedure. Tightening the tissue after fat removal helps smooth the transition between treated and surrounding skin.

Pairing Renuvion with Surgical Procedures

Dr. Learn often builds Renuvion into a larger surgical plan, adding it to a facelift for neck and jawline refinement or to an arm lift when skin laxity falls between surgical and non-surgical correction. This lets her tailor the degree of tightening to each patient rather than using one technique for every concern.

Renuvion Recovery

Recovery varies by treatment area and the scope of your procedure. Most patients experience swelling, firmness, and mild tenderness for the first few days, improving steadily over the following weeks. When Renuvion is combined with a facelift, arm lift, or body contouring surgery, recovery reflects the full scope of that procedure. Dr. Learn provides specific aftercare instructions, including activity guidelines and follow-up visits, based on your treatment plan.

Renuvion Results

Results continue to develop over several months as collagen remodels beneath the skin. Patients treated in the submental area often see a more defined jawline and neck, while those treated on the arms, thighs, or abdomen typically notice smoother, firmer skin. Final outcomes depend on skin quality, treatment area, and your overall surgical plan.

Complementary Procedures at Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery

  • Facelift: Lifts and repositions facial tissue to address deeper signs of aging that skin tightening alone cannot correct.
  • Neck Lift: Targets loose neck skin and banding for a firmer jawline and neck contour.
  • Arm Lift: Removes excess skin along the upper arm for a more defined silhouette.
  • Thigh Lift: Addresses loose thigh skin that limits comfort and contour.
  • Tummy Tuck: Removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal wall.
  • Liposuction: Removes localized fat deposits to refine contour before or alongside skin tightening.

How long does a Renuvion procedure take?

Treatment time depends on the areas addressed, ranging from a single focused area to a longer session when Renuvion is combined with surgery.

What are the risks associated with Renuvion?

As with any energy-based treatment, Renuvion carries risks such as temporary numbness, firmness, or changes in skin sensation. Dr. Learn reviews your individual risk profile in detail during your consultation.

Can Renuvion tighten skin without removing fat first?

In select cases where skin laxity is the primary concern, Renuvion can be performed without liposuction, though many patients get a more complete result by combining the two.

How many Renuvion treatments will I need?

Renuvion is typically a single session per treatment area, with results unfolding gradually over the following months.

How is Renuvion different from a facelift or arm lift?

A facelift or arm lift surgically removes excess skin, while Renuvion tightens the skin that remains by contracting tissue beneath the surface. Dr. Learn can determine which approach, or combination, fits your goals during your evaluation.

Will my insurance cover Renuvion treatment?

Renuvion is considered a cosmetic procedure and typically isn't covered by insurance. The practice can walk you through financing options during your consultation.
