After Weight Loss, How to Tighten Up?

The only way to remove loose skin after weight loss is with surgery. The best area for this is in the tummy because the results are dramatic and the scar can be most easily hidden. Areas where the scar becomes more of an issue are in the arms and thighs so these areas are not operated on as commonly as the abdomen.

Many patients who work hard and lose weight are in the same situation as yourself...loose skin! The only way to remove the loose skin is to excise it (cut it off). In the abdominal area, this is called a tummy tuck and usually results in a nice, tight tummy for the patient. The incision is usually hidden low and underneath the bikini line. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to get the best advice.
