Renuvion

Renuvion combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm the skin, improving tone and definition for the face and body.

If your face and body is showcasing skin laxity, Renuvion could be the right cosmetic treatment for you. Engaging helium plasma and radiofrequency technology, this unique device delivers rapid, precise heating under the skin, causing strong collagen contraction. You’ll see an improvement in skin tone, definition and elasticity. Results are immediate, with skin tightening continuing for up to three years and beyond in some cases. Renuvion’s subdermal tightening is safe for most skin tones and textures, and is a face and body-wide treatment. When performed alongside liposuction, it treats skin laxity that occurs after surgery and promotes greater abdominal shape than liposuction alone. As a facial rejuvenation treatment, Renuvion’s targeted contracture of tissues firms and defines the jaw and neck, and softens facial lines. As a body contouring procedure, Renuvion stimulates collagen production in the upper arms and abdomen, sculpting and tightening the skin. An ideal candidate for Renuvion will have mild-to-moderate skin laxity, good skin quality and realistic expectations. As a standalone facial procedure, you can expect swelling and bruising for the first three-to-10 days and compression garments worn for one-to-two weeks. For body contouring, recovery time varies depending on whether Renuvion is performed in conjunction with other procedures such as abdominoplasty, liposuction, or arm lift.

WHAT DO I GET WHEN I PAY FOR PLASTIC SURGERY?

QUALITY

Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a specialised branch of medicine which requires many years of training. Following medical school both Mr Adam Bialostocki and Mr Brandon Adams undertook near 10 years of additional training and were awarded a Fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (FRACS). They both went on to undertake training in aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery and complex reconstructive surgery with leading experts.

IMPLANTS AND GARMENTS

If your surgery requires implants or a special post-operative garment then these will have a cost associated with them.

FOLLOW UP

Your follow up at six weeks, including any wound care and appointments, is included in your surgeon's fees. Costs for revision surgery is not included.

SAFETY

To perform safe surgery a high quality operating facility is required. Extensive surgery requires overnight hospital stays with skilled nurses.

Private hospitals charge for time used in the operating theatre, recovery time and day stay or overnight hospital stays. In addition they charge for all equipment used such as sutures, dressings, disposable instruments and drapes.

Mr Adams and Mr Bialostocki only operate at private hospitals with highly trained nursing staff who care for you after your operation in recovery, and on the ward if you stay overnight.

SKILLED ANAESTHESIA

Any surgery requiring a general anaesthetic (going to sleep for surgery) or sedation requires a skilled anaesthetist. Anaesthetists are skilled doctors who require at least seven years training after medical school to achieve the highest standards of skill and safely.

Your comfort and safety is the result of team work between all of the doctors and nurses who will care for you. If you have complex medical conditions you may need additional assessments prior to surgery.


WHAT IF I NEED REVISION SURGERY OR HAVE A COMPLICATION?

Most of the time surgery goes well and wounds heal without problems. However, no surgical treatment is completely risk free. So, if you are having elective or cosmetic surgery it is especially important that you understand this. The general complications of surgery which occur with some regularity include:

Infection

Delayed healing

Bruising

Problematic or unsightly scars

Infection

Injury to nerves, blood vessels, or surrounding structures

Pain

Distortion of surrounding skin or other structures

Allergic reactions

Poor cosmetic result

Complications of sedation or general anaesthetic

Further surgery or other treatments

If there is a complication that requires further surgery – you or your insurer will be responsible for any further costs.

FINANCIAL CONSENT

The estimates of cost provided are estimates only and are not based on what is needed by any particular patient. If surgery is unexpectedly complex it may take longer then hospital and anaesthetic costs will increase. If a complication occurs and requires surgery there will be costs associated with repeat surgery. Mr Bialostocki and Mr Adams do not control the hospital or anaesthetic costs.
