Skin Tightening (Surgical) in Oakville, Ontario

How Is Surgical Skin Tightening Performed?

Our unique skin tightening with radiofrequency techniques can accompany body contouring surgeries that target excess skin and tissue on the arms, abdomen, thighs, knees, breasts and elsewhere. Additionally, certain skin tightening treatments (e.g. the FaceTite™ system) can address the face, neck and chin (submental area).*

Depending on the unique system being utilized, skin tightening typically involves a minimally invasive process in which a small device is placed into the subcutaneous skin layer. We often use a local anesthetic to numb the area. From there, Dr. Khanna will heat the skin with powerful RF energy, which can renew collagen and encourage cell regeneration.* Patients may feel warmth or a tingling sensation as the device is used in the treatment area, but these effects are generally mild. Keep in mind that the course of the rest of the procedure will vary depending on whether other surgical techniques (e.g. liposuction, abdominoplasty, or facelift surgery) are employed.

What Does Surgical Skin Tightening Aftercare Involve?

Following a standalone skin tightening session or the skin tightening component of surgery, the treatment area is cleaned and a compression garment is applied. This should be worn as much as possible for the first week and then nightly for three weeks. An ice pack can be used to help cool the area down post-treatment. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for two to three weeks in order to avoid excess swelling.

Otherwise, the specifics of your recovery will depend on the other procedure(s) performed. During your consultation, we will form a personalized plan to help you have a smooth, safe and quick aftercare process.
