Could You End Up with Loose Skin after Liposuction?

December 9, 2019 by Koehler Editor

Woman holding loose skin after lipo, gray background, studio shotLiposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, allowing men and women to target specific trouble areas that aren’t responding to diet and exercise. But because liposuction addresses only stubborn fat, loose skin after lipo is a common concern. Learn more about why this happens and what can be done about it.

What Are Your Fitness Goals?

Liposuction is best used to fine-tune your weight loss and fitness goals. If you are looking to get rid of small pockets of fat in isolated areas, you might not have to worry about any sagging skin at all. While you might notice some loose skin immediately after your procedure, this may improve over time on its own.

Liposuction typically only removes a few pounds of fat, making it a body contouring tool rather than a weight loss method.

At your consultation prior to your procedure, Dr. Koehler can evaluate your skin’s natural elasticity to see if looseness after lipo might be a problem down the road. If so, he can recommend ways to help tighten your skin. These might include strength training exercises, massages to improve circulation and professional treatments.

What If You’re Concerned with Stubborn Fat and Loose Skin?

If both stubborn fat and loose skin are cosmetic concerns for you from the beginning, you might be a better candidate for a combination tummy tuck and liposuction. Together, these two body contouring procedures can address both of your concerns, giving you more comprehensive results than just one or the other.
