How to fix very lax/loose/saggy skin on butt and thighs? (Photo)

Question

I have loose skin, expecially on my butt and thighs. I started to lose weight, that's when I noticed the loose skin pretty bad on my butt and inner thighs. Its very depressing and i want to know if this is fixable. I have tons of stretch marks I had 3 pregnancies. I know I'm very out of shape and I understand I need to build muscle while losing weight.Tone up.But will that help my loose skin? What can I do to combat this loose skin from my weight gain then weight loss 3x in row.posted photos.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Treatment options for fixing loose skin depends on the degree of laxity present. If it is mild to moderate laxity then non-surgical treatments may provide improvement. If there is severe or excessive looseness then surgery may be the only option. I would recommend an in-person consultation and evaluation with an experienced provider that has multiple treatment options available. Best wishes.

Hi and thanks for your question. For mild to moderate skin laxity you can try non surgical options like RF , laser , ultrasound or threadlift.But for sever cases you might need surgical options. I would suggest an individual consult with an expert physician
