For many women, specialized liposuction for lipedema is a life-altering turning point: it brings a profound sense of physical ease, restored mobility, and a long-awaited improvement in quality of life. However, once the pathological fat is removed, a final challenge often remains—excess, sagging skin. This skin laxity can act as a lingering shadow of the past, preventing you from feeling fully confident and 'at home' in your new silhouette.
This is precisely where Lipœdème Montréal intervenes. At our state-of-the-art surgical clinic in Westmount, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet, MSc., utilizes J-Plasma / Renuvion technology to provide customized skin tightening.
This advanced procedure bridges the gap between functional recovery and aesthetic excellence. Performed with deep clinical sensitivity and extensive surgical expertise, our approach ensures that your exterior finally matches the lightness and health you feel within.
J-Plasma (Renuvion) after lipedema liposuction provides significant, immediate, and long-term skin tightening by using cold helium plasma and radiofrequency to shrink tissues. It maximizes results by creating a firmer, more contoured look, reducing the risk of sagging skin often seen after fat removal.
Think of your skin as a tailored suit that has been stretched over time. Lipedema causes a pathological accumulation of fat that expands the "skin envelope." Because lipedema fat is often heavy and fibrotic, it exerts constant pressure on the skin’s elastic fibers (collagen and elastin).
When Dr. Edouard Coeugniet removes this diseased fat through specialized liposuction, the volume that was holding the skin taut is suddenly gone. This often results in what we call the "deflated balloon" effect. If the skin has been stretched for many years, or if the patient is older, the skin may lose its "snap-back" ability, leading to sagging, folds, or a crepe-like texture.
At our Westmount surgical clinic, we utilize J-Plasma/Renuvion to treat this exact issue during the same surgical session as your liposuction.
The Science of the Glow:
Dr. Coeugniet recommends this technology because it aligns perfectly with the goal of Lipedema Reduction Surgery:
In short: No.
Not every patient requires J-Plasma. During your consultation in Westmount, Dr. Coeugniet will assess your skin’s "recoil" potential.
At Lipœdème Montréal, we believe that treating lipedema is about more than just removing fat—it’s about restoring the harmony between how you feel and how you look. Dr. Edouard Coeugniet’s integration of J-Plasma/Renuvion at our state-of-the-art Westmount facility ensures that your journey doesn't end with "empty" skin, but with a firm, rejuvenated silhouette.
Recovery is a path we walk together. From the first incision to the final stages of collagen remodeling, our team is here to ensure you feel supported, informed, and—most importantly—comfortable in the skin you’re in.
While lipedema can affect various parts of the body, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet most commonly performs skin tightening on the inner and outer thighs, the area around the knees, and the upper arms (brachioplasty area). These are the regions where large volumes of diseased fat are removed, often leaving the skin in need of structural support to prevent sagging.
No, it is not a "one size fits all" requirement. Every patient at our Montreal clinic receives a personalized assessment. Whether you need tightening depends on your skin's natural elasticity, your age, the stage of your lipedema, and the volume of fat being removed. Younger patients with Stage 1 lipedema may find their skin retracts naturally, whereas Stage 2 or 3 patients often benefit significantly from J-Plasma/Renuvion.
At Lipœdème Montréal, we use the revolutionary J-Plasma (Renuvion) system. It is performed through the same tiny incisions used for your liposuction. Dr. Coeugniet passes a specialized probe under the skin that delivers cold helium plasma and radiofrequency energy. This creates an immediate "shrink-wrap" effect
For many lipedema patients, yes. Traditional "excisional" lifts (like a thigh lift) involve long incisions that can potentially disrupt lymphatic channels. J-Plasma is minimally invasive and remarkably precise, allowing Dr. Coeugniet to tighten the skin while meticulously protecting the delicate lymphatic system that is so crucial for lipedema recovery.
While you will notice an immediate improvement in the "heaviness" of the area, the real magic happens over time. You’ll see a gradual tightening over 3 to 6 months as your body produces new collagen (neo-collagenesis) triggered by the J-Plasma energy.
While it is possible to perform J-Plasma as a secondary procedure, Dr. Coeugniet usually recommends performing it simultaneously with your liposuction. This allows for a single recovery period and ensures the skin begins to retract immediately as the fat is removed, leading to a more contoured result.
Surprisingly, no. Because the technology is minimally invasive and uses the existing liposuction incisions, it does not typically add significant downtime to your recovery. You will still follow the standard recovery protocol of compression and lymphatic drainage as discussed at our Westmount facility.
While J-Plasma primarily addresses laxity (sagging), the increase in collagen production often improves the overall texture and thickness of the skin, which can help it look healthier and more resilient post-surgery.
Dr. Coeugniet is a specialist with deep expertise in the "lymphatic-sparing" techniques required for lipedema. By combining surgical fat removal with advanced J-Plasma technology at a state-of-the-art Westmount clinic, he provides a comprehensive solution that addresses both the medical and aesthetic needs of Canadian lipedema patients.
