Question 1

what can i do/take to tighten loose skin on my body?

Accepted Answer

Magic wand: If we had a magic wand that could tighten skin, we would not need to use surgery to perform tummy tucks (witch hazel), (witch hazel) face lifts, breast lifts, thigh lifts, eyelid tucks (witch hazel) and many other operations. Time is your best friend to assess skin contraction.

Good luck from NYC

Question 3

i need some tips on how to tighten loose skin after having a baby?

Accepted Answer

There are none: Loose skin after childbirth is very common. One can tone and tighten muscles with exercise but there is no exercise to tighten skin.

Question 4

is there any way to tighten loose skin?

Accepted Answer

Nip & Tuck it: While advertisments offer the promise of skin tightening machines, lasers, lotions, potions and peels, most of these technologies are only capable of delivering skin tightening (on a scale of 1 to 10) at a maximum level of 3. If that is all you need these devices may work for you. If, however, you need a level of 7 to 10 skin tightening, skin removal is essentially the most reliable method.

Question 5

what can i do/use to tighten loose skin?

Accepted Answer

Loose skin: There are multiple options for treatment of loose skin.  It mainly depends on the location that you are asking about.  Often times it requires surgical excision and redraping of soft tissue.

Question 6

how do i tighten loose skin on my stomach after triplets?

Accepted Answer

Tummy tuck is best: There really is no substitute. A tummy tuck will address loose skin and the likely associated muscle separation. Liposuction is often used to contour the hip areas. It is unlikely that lipo alone or other non-surgical or minimally invasive techniques will provide sufficient correction.

Question 7

can you tell me how to tighten loose skin, and define muscles after weight loss.?

Accepted Answer

Sagging skin: Rapid weight loss does tend to cause skin to sag. Give the skin 90 days to 6 months to catch up. Drink more water and take antioxidatn suplement as well.

Question 8

how can i tighten loose skin on arms after heavy weight loss ?

Accepted Answer

Loose arms MWL: The mainstay of arm tightening after massive weight loss is a brachioplasty or arm lift.  This involves excision of the excess skin along the upper arm and axilla.  This is a relatively easy procedure but the scarring often takes a little longer to mature than other body contouring sites.  It may take 18-24 months.

Question 9

when i lose weight, what's the best way to tighten up the loose skin?

Accepted Answer

Lots of options: If you're lucky, your skin will contract as you lose weight.  If that doesn't happen the excess skin may need to be surgically removed.  This is a common procedure that removes the extra skin while trying to "hide" the resultant scars in inconspicuous locations.

Question 10

hi docs, would my loose skin tighten up by itself after losing some weight?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately not: Unfortunately it will not tighten up by itself..But it may tighten with exercise, eating healthy and if that does not help, by plastic surgery.
