I am currently taking ozempic for weight loss (brusies on stomach are from injections) I am down 8kg but would like to lose another 10kg. I have had a belly like this for years and have not had children nor do I plan to. I dont have any loose skin yet it is pinchable fat. Will my skin sag after weight loss? I am 165cm tall, current weight is 68kg, 36 years old

Answer: You are already thin. It is unlikely that you will have sagging skin after losing the weight. As an aside, you likely do not need a semaglutide. A healthy diet and exercise are likely sufficient to maintain your already fantastic shape.

Answer: May or may not need a tummy tuck You are young at 36 and your skin may contract. At this time, I recommend you begin wearing a compressive garment now to help increase your skin tone. It is possible that you may have hanging skin. Liposuction only removes fat and a tummy tuck removes skin. After you have achieved your desired weight loss, you can consider a tummy tuck. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
