Hey guys, I'm a 20 year old male, who has recently lost a bit of fat. However I've noticed that I now have loose facial skin! I also have a bit of a mini turkey neck flapping under my chin which definitely wasn't there a few months ago. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Exercises/creams/lasers Thanks a bunch

Answer: Skin sagging after weight loss First, it is important to establish your base weight. If you are going to gain or lose more weight, then get to a stable point before.considering your options. I have not had good luck with long term improvement with non surgical skin tightening procedures. From what I have seen the results are short lived and disappointing. Volume with facial fillers is an option. I would leave surgery as a last resort. Good luck.

Answer: Loose skin after weight loss Thank you for a great question and for sharing your photos and experience. The good news is you are young, and your skin likely still has good elasticity. Based on what I can tell from the photograph, you may be a candidate for noninvasive skin tightening procedures such as Pelleve or Ulthera that can stimulate skin tightening without surgery. I hope this is helpful.I recommend consulting with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to further discuss your concerns and options."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
