Saggy Skin and Liposuction: What You Need to Know

Hello from LipoManiac 365mc!

Today, we're diving into a hot topic that many people are curious about: “Saggy Skin.” If you’re considering liposuction or LAMS, you might be concerned about how your skin will look after the procedure.

Understanding Liposuction

Liposuction, or LAMS focuses on removing excess fat from beneath the skin to create a slimmer appearance. However, it does not address the skin itself. If you have excess fat but your skin is firm, you're likely a great candidate for liposuction. Conversely, if you have loose, sagging skin due to significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies, liposuction alone might not be sufficient, as it doesn't tighten the skin.

What to Expect Post-Procedure

If you’re a suitable candidate, there's no need to worry excessively. After liposuction, your skin will gradually tighten over time. Generally, younger individuals with good skin elasticity will see their skin tighten up more effectively, often within a year. If you’re a little bit older or your skin has lost its collagen or elastin, you might be poor candidate for liposuction because removing the fat may make your skin hang a little bit more. Stretch marks, which indicate internal skin damage, can also mean your skin won’t tighten up as well as someone else’s skin after liposuction. So that might be a little bit of warning to you that you might get a little bit of loose skin after liposuction/LAMS procedure. Sometimes, what seems like excess fat is actually loose skin. In such cases, a skin removal procedure might be more appropriate than liposuction.
