William A. Portuese, MD answers: Tightening loose facial and body skin

What really works to get rid of loose skin--body and face. Is it a body lift or can laser treatment work to tighten things up again? Thx Much!

The best way to tighten loose skin is through a comprehensive face/neck lift.

Loose facial skin will also have loose fascial attachments and muscles of the face, specifically in the neck and jowl area. Therefore the skin and its underlying structures must be tightened to achieve long-lasting results.

Tightening the skin alone can leave the patient with a pulled, tightened, and wind tunneled look.
