Is There Surgery for Sagging Skin?
I'm 57 and in gd shape. No kids, wo 4-5 days a wk with heavy weights and aerobics. Just lost 10 lbs-15 to go. I almost look worse then before w/o clothes bc my skin is sagging. Is there surgery that primarily just "pulls up" the skin? If so, is it overly complicated?

Treatment for excess skin
Congrats on your weight loss. There are options to tighten up your skin. Depending on what areas you wish to improve will determine which procedure (s) you may need. Once your weight loss has stablized, please visit with a board certified PS to learn more about your options.

YES!
The only way to get rid of saggy skin is surgery. After you lose all the extra weight, you will have your best surgery results. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) to discuss your concerns and expectations.

Surgery is the only thing you can do for saggy skin.
Usually it is not overly complicated because it is just fat and skin.
As I always say to my patients lose all your extra weight first and then have surgery, your results will be better.

There is surgery for sagging skin in most parts of the body. You don't say in your note where the troublesome skin excess is, but correction is available for the abdomen, back, thighs, buttocks, breast (male or female), face, neck, arms, and I may have left some areas out. Most of these should be quite routine to a board certified plastic surgeon.
This may not be the time to have your surgery, and you should wait until you are close to your desired weight.l
