I am 58 years old and have sagging skin on my thighs and arms (above the elbows). Will lipo-laser eliminate it?
Answer: Laser lipo to tighten skin I have found that smartlipo can help tighten loose skin by 15% to 40%, therefore it may be suitable for mild to moderate loose skin. A lift may be better for you if you have severe sagging skin.

Answer: Laser liposuction in Los Angeles Laser liposuction can tighten skin overlying the area of fat removal. Our office also uses a combination of ablative and non ablative skin tightening after surgery if needed. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

Answer: Laser lipo Thanks for the question, the laser in liposuction targets fat so it helps melt fat or "emulsify" the idea is to change the fat from cottage cheese to a more milkshake like consistency so it comes out easier and smoother, there is minimal if any skin tightening from the laser, that being said there is some tightening from the trauma of lipo itself.

Answer: Does liposuction tighten skin? In some instances skin can tighten after liposuction with especially with laser or ultrasound treatments, when they are done right. There are also external devices such as Velashape and Venus that also help enhance the effect of the liposuction. I think you need to see a body contouring specialist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Laser Liposuction Skin Tightening Effect There are several studies that look at the impact of laser liposuction versus liposuction alone in evaluating skin shrinkage and skin tightening. The results show that laser liposuction does have a positive impact on skin tightening vs not doing liposuction at all and vs doing traditional liposuction.Sagging skin on your arms at the age of 58 as you describe in your situation is a challenging problem. I find that patients in this age range who have loose skin often do not do that well with liposuction. Liposuction does great for younger patients whose main problem in the arms is fat, but doesn't do very well in patients who concern is loose sagging skin.Laser Liposuction will help the skin tighten but it won't be a miracle cure. It will be a better procedure than traditional liposuction without the laser, but I would probably advise against liposuction in general in your case. I would know more definitively by examining you in person, so without seeing you, my advice is based on speculation.
