Get Rid of Loose Skin After Weight Loss With Male Body Contouring Treatments
&srotate=0)
Losing a significant amount of weight can improve a person's overall health, confidence, and quality of life — in more ways than one — but some people are left with an unexpected side effect of extreme weight loss in the form of loose skin. Even with a dedicated fitness routine, sagging skin can remain around the abdomen, chest, arms, and thighs, making it difficult to fully enjoy the results of weight loss. For men struggling with loose skin after losing weight, male body contouring procedures can help remove excess skin, tighten and define the body, and create a more sculpted, masculine physique.
At Chiseled in Spring, TX, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Young Cho offers a range of surgical and nonsurgical options designed specifically for men looking to fine-tune their bodies after weight loss. Whether you need skin removal surgery, muscle-enhancing treatments, or fat reduction procedures, male body contouring can help you complete your transformation and enjoy the results of your hard work. Read on for more information about skin removal after weight loss, skin tightening, and other available options.
How can I get rid of saggy skin after weight loss?
For men who want to get rid of post-weight loss loose skin and achieve a firmer, more toned look, surgical body contouring is often one of the most effective approaches. This is particularly true for men who have lost an extreme amount of weight, men who were overweight for an extended period of time, and older men who have poorer skin elasticity — as these factors can make it difficult or even impossible for stretched-out skin to "snap back" to its original contours following weight loss. Some of the most popular options for skin removal surgery after weight loss for men include:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Gynecomastia to remove excess fat and/or skin on the male chest
- Arm lift
- Thigh lift
Additionally, Dr. Cho may recommend combining body contouring skin removal plus liposuction after weight loss. Although liposuction does not remove loose skin, it can further refine the results of body contouring surgery by removing stubborn fat deposits that remain after weight loss. Many men combine liposuction with skin removal procedures for a more sculpted, natural-looking outcome.
How can I tighten loose skin after weight loss without surgery?
While surgery is often the most effective solution for patients with pronounced skin laxity after weight loss, men who have mild to moderate skin laxity may benefit from nonsurgical body contouring treatments, such as:
For men who aren't ready, willing, or able to undergo surgical skin removal, these treatments can still help enhance skin tone and muscle definition for a more complete weight loss transformation.
Am I a candidate for skin removal after weight loss?
If you've lost a significant amount of weight and struggle with loose, sagging skin, you may be a good candidate for male body contouring surgery. Generally speaking, candidates for skin removal and body contouring after weight loss are:
- Near their goal weight with stable weight maintenance
- In good overall health and nonsmokers
- Bothered by excess skin that does not tighten with exercise
- Looking for long-term, more complete results
During your initial consultation, Dr. Cho will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, review your health and medical history, and create a customized body contouring plan to help you achieve a firmer, more masculine physique you can finally feel proud of.
