What Can I Do to About my Loose Skin After my Liposuction?

Without before and after pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice.  However, if you do have loose skin, then you may benefit from a mini thigh lift if that is where the loose skin in.  

Thighplasty can help tighten loose skin. If there isn't too much, you can also consider laser skin tightening. 

There are a few treatments that can tighten loose skin, but thigh lift surgery is the only that can dramatically do it, with more predictable results. Noninvasive treatments include laser skin tightening and micro needling, both of which may require several sessions to achieve noticeable results.

Loose skin after liposuction should have been discussed as a possible unwanted side effect of the procedure.  I have tried several skin "tightening" technologies including ultrasound, laser, and laser assisted liposuction.  In my opinion, they don't work very well if at all.  Excess skin can be removed by excision but this involves a scar which is seldom a suitable trade-off in the thighs.

Dear Patient,

There is a skin tightening procedure called Thermage. It is non invasive and excellent for tightening the skin. It uses radio frequency technology to heat up the collagen in your skin. As you age, the collagen in your skin breaks down resulting in sagging skin. The fact that you exercise and run is great! But sometimes that isn’t enough for our skin. Thermage will safely heat the deeper layers of your skin stimulating new collagen and promoting new collagen growth! The result is healthier, younger looking skin. A thigh lift may also be an option depending on the amount of skin laxity you have.  Good luck!
