Body Contouring After Massive Weight loss

Massive Weight Loss: Now that you've accomplished your goal in losing the weight, are you left with excess skin?

Often times people who have lost massive amounts of weight feel as though they are wearing a deflated sumo suit. When the suit is inflated, like that of a fully inflated balloon, it's outer shell is extremely taut. Once the suit deflates, it then appears wrinkled. The same thing can happen to our skin.

When weight is gained, (or even from pregnancy) the skin expands and stretches. As it does, the skin and underlying collagen and strong supportive structures also thins and the elasticity is weakened. Often times patients who were once obese that lose weight are constantly (and to their dismay) reminded of the weight they used to carry because the loose skin still remains and is often furrowed with visible striae (stretch marks).





Unless you have extremely favorable genetics, it may be challenging to have your skin retract on its own. Though medicine and science are in a constant state of discovery, understanding and advancements, there is nothing out on the market yet to FULLY remove stretch marks or tighten skin completely. Though the technology of thermal energy lasers have come a long way and show some successful improvement of skin retraction and collagen stimulation, the method that exceeds all the rest is surgical excision and redraping.
