Can ReFirme tighten loose skin caused by weight loss?
I have lost a lot of weight after Gastric Bypass surgery. The lower half of my face is saggy, especially under my chin. I don't want any invasive procedures and am considering having ReFirme treatments. I know it won't be as good as surgery, but can I expect some tightening of the skin?

A: ReFirme could help if skin is the only problem
Three items contribute to the neck sagginess in this area: skin, fat, and muscle. If you have little amount of fat, no muscle bands and only skin. Skin firming techniques will help you a lot. If fat or muscle bands are present then you will benefit from lipo and muscle plication. Hope that helps!
