A Modern Approach to Sculpting Your Best Shape
Liposuction has consistently ranked among the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it remains one of the top surgical treatments for patients who want to refine their figure and remove stubborn fat deposits. But as effective as liposuction is, one common concern patients often raise is: “Will my skin look loose once the fat is gone?”
This is a valid question. While liposuction removes fat, it doesn’t directly address skin elasticity. At Mentor Plastic Surgery, we’ve taken this concern seriously and invested in the AYON Body system, a leading-edge skin-tightening technology designed to complement liposuction. Together, these treatments represent the next generation of body contouring: fat reduction paired with skin tightening for smoother, more natural results.
Why Liposuction Alone May Not Be Enough
How Liposuction Works
Liposuction removes fat cells from specific areas of the body using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. Once those fat cells are removed, they don’t return, making it one of the most effective ways to permanently eliminate stubborn fat. Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen and waist (“love handles”)
- Hips and thighs
- Upper arms
- Back and bra-line bulges
- Under the chin or along the jawline
The Limitation: Loose Skin
While the procedure works beautifully to reshape problem areas, skin does not always conform to the slimmer contour. This is especially true for:
- Patients with stretched skin after pregnancy or weight loss.
- Adults experience age-related declines in collagen and elastin.
- Those undergoing larger-volume fat removal.
When this happens, patients may feel frustrated that their slimmer shape is hidden beneath lax or crepey skin. That’s why pairing liposuction with a skin-tightening solution can be transformative.
Introducing AYON Body: Advanced Skin Tightening Technology
What Is AYON Body?
AYON Body is a state-of-the-art system that uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat tissue beneath the skin’s surface. This process stimulates collagen production, encourages the skin to contract, and helps it adapt to your new body shape. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin in treated areas.
Why Patients Love It
- Non-invasive addition: No incisions, no extra recovery.
- Works with your body: Stimulates your natural collagen response.
- Visible improvements: Firmer skin and better contour definition.
- Confidence-boosting: Patients report they feel “finished” with their results rather than wishing for more tightening later.
For many, AYON Body is the missing link that helps liposuction results look not only slimmer but also tighter and more refined.
Why Combining Liposuction and AYON Body Matters
Think of liposuction as the fat removal step and AYON Body as the skin renewal step. Together, they create results that are both dramatic and natural.
Benefits of the Combination Approach
- Comprehensive transformation: Fat is removed, and skin adapts seamlessly.
- Prevents the “deflated” look: Skin tightening reduces the risk of sagging after fat loss.
- Reduces need for surgical skin removal: In some cases, patients avoid additional procedures like tummy tucks or arm lifts.
- Lasting improvements: Collagen stimulation continues to enhance firmness for weeks after surgery.
In short, you’re not just removing fat, you’re reshaping the entire area for a balanced, contoured outcome.
What to Expect During Treatment
1. The Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at Mentor Plastic Surgery. During this time, your surgeon will:
- Listen to your concerns and goals.
- Review your health history and suitability for surgery.
- Examine the areas you’d like treated.
- Explain how liposuction and AYON Body can work together to achieve your desired results.
2. During the Procedure
- Liposuction is performed first, removing targeted fat cells.
- Immediately afterward, the AYON Body system is applied to the same treatment zones.
- The process is safe, seamless, and adds minimal time to the overall procedure.
3. Recovery and Results
- Most patients return to work and light activities within a few days to a week.
- Swelling and mild bruising are expected but temporary.
- Fat reduction results are noticeable quickly, while skin continues to tighten and smooth over several weeks as collagen develops.
- Final results are typically visible within a few months, revealing a slimmer, firmer, more sculpted figure.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Liposuction with AYON Body Contouring System is best suited for patients who:
- Have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
- Experience mild to moderate skin laxity and want to improve firmness.
- Seek natural, sculpted results without additional invasive surgery.
- Are in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations.
This approach may not be ideal for individuals with significant skin excess (for example, after massive weight loss), in which case a surgical skin removal procedure may still be recommended. Your consultation will clarify which option is best for your body and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is AYON Body and how does it work?
AYON Body is an advanced skin-tightening technology that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. This helps the skin contract and adapt to your slimmer contours after liposuction, leading to smoother and firmer results.
2. Will liposuction with AYON Body help if I have a lot of loose skin?
AYON Body is best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. If you have significant excess skin, you may still benefit more from a skin removal procedure like a tummy tuck or arm lift. Your consultation will determine the best approach.
3. Is AYON Body safe to use with liposuction?
Yes. AYON Body is FDA-cleared and widely considered safe when performed by a trained professional. At Mentor Plastic Surgery, our double board-certified surgeons ensure the highest safety standards.
4. Does the AYON Body treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warming or tightening feeling. Since it’s applied immediately after liposuction while you’re under anesthesia, you won’t feel it during the procedure.
5. How soon will I see results?
You’ll notice fat reduction almost immediately after liposuction. Skin tightening improvements from AYON Body become more visible over the following weeks as new collagen develops. Final results are usually seen within a few months.
6. How long do the results last?
Results from liposuction are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight. AYON Body’s skin-tightening effects are long-lasting but will also depend on natural aging and lifestyle factors.
7. Who is the best candidate for liposuction with AYON Body?
Men and women with localized fat deposits and mild to moderate skin laxity who are in good health and want more complete contouring results are ideal candidates.
