Laser Lipo on stretch marks, will my skin retract back?

Hello, congratulations on achieving that! It is not easy at all. Skin retracting back is a very important factor to consider when doing any liposuction and many factors determine whether your skin will bounce back or to what degree.Age is a great factor and because you are very young, your chances to have a "better outcome" when it comes to the skin are higher than older patients. Because you lost weight in the past, that can influence your skin's elasticity. Diet and lifestyle have a great impact as well.

Patients often ask me that if they have lipo will the skin just hang there? I respond that as the body area contracts down over time, that the skin will contract very nicely with the area. However, I always warn patients that if they have loose or saggy skin at the start, they will still have loose skin at the end - lipo will not overcorrect for loose skin that you already have. Therefore, in cases like this, we generally recommend some type of skin tightening along with lipo. The good news is that technology has continued to improve, and we have great options for tightening of skin and stretch marks that can be done either with lipo, or as an adjunct, depending on how aggressive you want to be. There are non-invasive devices that can be performed over a series of treatments to help reduce the size and visibility of the stretch marks. But even better, we have minimally invasive treatments, for instance, Renuvion, that can be done at the same time as lipo, and allows for tightening of the skin from underneath, at the subcutaneous level, right where we want to see the tightening effect. To be clear, we cannot completely get rid of stretch marks, but should be able to shrink or contract them, to be less visible. I would recommend that you find an office or physician who performs these types of treatments as well, rather than just lipo.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Stretch marks indicate the presence of permanently damaged overstretched skin usually occurring during pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation where when pregnant or heavy, the skin's dermal elastic fibers rupture, resulting in the loss of elasticity and the development of depressed streaks on the skin surface. The skin will stretch over a greater surface area and will predispose to sagging.
The performance of laser liposuction will have a subtle skin tightening effect. However, there is a limit to its effectiveness depending upon the extent of the skin laxity. The stretch marks themselves unfortunately are permanent. In many cases, there are procedures available to lessen the visibility of stretch marks. Without photos, I am unable to be more specific.

Congratulations on the weight loss!
Skin can be a real problem after a lot of weight loss, stretch marks also make the recoil of the skin worse.
Skin excision of excess skin is the gold standard treatment.
In select patients I have had great results with Vaser liposuction and Renuvion j plasma in combination in one procedure.

Hello and thanks for your question. Laser liposuction have a stretching effect on the treatment are but to see if laser liposuction procedure give you the good result, we have to assess your pictures. It depends on the level of the stretch marks and sagging.
