What to Do About Loose Skin After Weight Loss

Weight loss, whether through GLP-1 medications or bariatric surgery, is a transformative achievement for many patients. However, rapid or significant weight loss can leave behind loose, sagging skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, neck, and other areas. These changes can be frustrating and uncomfortable, affecting both physical well-being and self-image. At Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, we provide a range of surgical and minimally invasive options to help tighten or remove excess skin and restore natural body contours.

Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Skin Tightening with Renuvion

For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, Renuvion J-Plasma is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that can effectively tighten loose skin. This technology uses a precise combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep beneath the skin’s surface to tighten skin. The treatment is performed through a small incision, offering noticeable skin firming with minimal downtime. Renuvion is commonly used on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck areas, which are often affected after moderate weight loss.

Skin Removal Plastic Surgery After Massive Weight Loss

For patients who have experienced significant or massive weight loss, often exceeding 50 pounds, surgical skin removal procedures may be the most effective solution to address skin laxity. These procedures include tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, or lower body lift, and are designed to remove loose, stretched skin and restore a tighter, more contoured appearance. Beyond aesthetics, skin removal surgery can improve hygiene, comfort, and mobility for patients who are dealing with tissue folds following their weight loss journey.

Which Option are Your a Good Candidate For?

The decision between Renuvion and surgical skin removal depends on several factors, including the amount of weight lost, the severity of skin laxity, your overall health, and your aesthetic goals. Patients with less lax skin may achieve satisfying results with Renuvion alone, while those with more pronounced excess skin may benefit most from a surgical approach. During your consultation, Dr. Dastoury will conduct a thorough evaluation to create a customized plan tailored to your body and lifestyle.
