I'm 25 and I've lost about 140 lbs and have a good bit of loose skin on my calves. I've heard of J-plasma, but am looking for other options that may be able to treat the loose skin. Unfortunately googling loose skin calves doesn't return many results. Thanks in advanced!
Answer: What are the options for loose skin on my calves after weight loss? Thank you for your questions. Without a physical exam, or at least some photos, it is hard to give an honest assessment. This can be an area that is difficult to treat without a lot of verified methods in place. SmartLipo is a ridiculous option as this is not going to do anything but take your money. J-plasma (Renuvion) might be a reasonable option but I would guess that even those with experience with this device have not treated many cases and so it might be a bit of a "test." I would suggest going to see a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery rather than relying on other "certified" doctors. Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Answer: Tighten up loose skin with Morpheus8 treatments 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.

Answer: Loose skin after weight loss Smartlipo may be an option for skin tightening. The laser fiber is inserted under the skin and directed along the dermis. The heat of the laser stimulates collagen formation which helps tighten the skin. This is an office based procedure which is performed under local anesthesia.
