How can you tighten loose abdominal skin. I'm 60 and I know the collagen is not as it used to be.

Your age by itself will not prevent you from having a tummy tuck to improve the skin on the abdomen.

Hi,
Thanks so much for your question. Without seeing photos or you in person, it sounds like you may benefit from an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck. When we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity and our muscles also weaken. When this happens, the skin on our midsections can become looser and fat may begin to develop.

It’s recommended that you have a consultation with the plastic surgeon of your choosing. They will be able to diagnose and direct you to the most beneficial procedure.

Best of luck!

Hello,Thank you for your question. Typically, a good way to remove excess skin in the abdominal area is through Abdominoplasty. A Tummy Tuck procedure will allow for excess skin removal, tightening of lax, separated muscles and liposuction to assist with body contouring. I recommend that you book an in-person consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in this area. They will examine you, discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend options.All the best

If you have very loose skin, an abdominoplasty will be your best solution.  If a small improvement would be worthwhile, less invasive techniques (e.g.  thermitight) should be a consideration.  Ideally you should see a surgeon who offers both options to get a well-informed opinion. 

Without examining you or seeing photos its difficult to give specific advice but it sounds like you will probably need a tummy tuck. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to see what your options are. Best of luck! 

The lasers to tighten skin in my opinion are not very effective.  A skin excision procedure will improve this.
