Are there other ways besides a tummy tuck to get rid of loose skin?

No: The excess skin that is removed with a tummy tuck does not respond well to nonsurgical treatments. Some may offer laser therapy to tighten the skin (which does work). However, the amount of tightening does not satisfy most tummy tuck patients. I recommend discussing your specific situation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you determine the best treatment plan for you.

Yes: In addition to abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) excess skin of the thighs and upper arms can be adressed surgically.

Tummy tuck: Unfortunately loose skin is very difficult to correct by minimally invasive means. Modalities such as slim lipo can reduce the fatty tissue, but will only correct small amounts of skin laxity. The typical patient who has loose skin is post pregnancy or post large quantity weight loss and really needs the skin removed with a tummy tuck. Regards, d.

Nope: No reliable method other than to conceal it beneath compression garments.

Not really: At this time tummy tuck surgery is the mot reliable way to minimize loose skin in the abdomen.
