William A. Portuese, MD answers: How can I tighten loose skin after weight loss?

I've lost a lot of weight. How can I get rid of the excess loose skin on my face and the sagging skin on my body?

The only way to tighten loose facial skin after weight loss is to perform a face/neck lift.

After significant weight loss, the skin becomes lax and loose in the jowls, face, and neck. At this point the laxity is significant enough for a comprehensive face/neck lift to be performed. The procedure will tighten excess sagging skin, muscle structure, and remove any additional fat deposits in the neck that may be diet-resistant fat.
