Unwanted fat is a major concern for most people and liposuction is the gold standard to address it. Areas prone to fat buildup and saggy skin include the abdomen, upper arms, flanks, buttocks, chin, jowls, and neck. However, traditional liposuction surgery can leave behind loose and flabby skin, requiring skin excision. Loose skin can also occur due to excessive weight loss, aging, pregnancy, and loss of elastin and collagen. With advancements in plastic surgery, minimally-invasive and non-invasive techniques such as InMode EVOKE treatment in NYC are now available that not only reduce excess fat but also simultaneously tighten loose skin very effectively.

Face lift surgery is another popular option to lift the facial skin, tissues and muscles and leave your skin look firmer, tighter and fresher. The procedure also redistributes facial fat, tightens skin, reduces wrinkles and lines and removes deep creases below the lower eyelids and tightens the underlying muscles and thus improves the overall facial appearance.
Skin elasticity is affected by factors such as genetics, age, sun damage, repeated stretching of the skin, rapid weight loss or weight gain, dehydration, and poor diet. Skin elasticity is a key factor in determining if a person is a good candidate for liposuction. During the consultation, the surgeon will first perform an evaluation to assess your skin elasticity and based on the assessment will give you a good idea of what to expect and how your skin will be affected. The skin will usually retract in younger patients and they will not need skin removal after liposuction. Healthy and elastic skin typically shrinks and adjusts to accommodate to new body contours. To improve skin elasticity after liposuction procedure, your surgeon may recommend various measures such as staying hydrated, regular exercise, eating healthy meals and routine skin care.
If you have mild loose skin after liposuction, consult an experienced plastic surgeon in NYC. Leading practices offer a wide range of nonsurgical skin tightening options and your surgeon will recommend the best option for you.
