How Is Loose Skin Treated?
Treatment options for sagging skin vary depending on the severity and location of the sagging. Noninvasive options such as radiofrequency (RF) treatments, laser treatments, chemical peels, and injectable fillers can help stimulate collagen production, tighten sagging skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These minimally invasive procedures can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. In cases of significant sagging, surgical interventions like a tummy tuck, body lift, facelift, or post-weight-loss surgery may be necessary to remove excess skin tissue and create a tighter, more youthful appearance. These surgeries involve excising surplus skin and adjusting underlying muscles to improve the contour and aesthetics of the affected area.
J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills Reviews
My experience with Dr. Timothy Katzen is wonderful. His surgical skills are top notch and he has great bedside manner. I have had 3 procedures with Dr. Katzen and happy with all three.
Dr. Katzen is amazing. His knowledge and bedside banner area impeccable. He kept me informed every step of the way. His staff is just as impressive, they are patient and responsive 24hrs a day. He is great with the bariatric patient community, he knows how to get rid of our loose skin and hide all the scars. Thank you for all your help!
My self-esteem and confidence have already improved by milestones - I normally don't write reviews but Dr. J Timothy Katzen and his team have gone above and beyond my expectations. I had gastric sleeve surgery and lost a total of 125 pounds. I kept convincing myself that I don't need plastic or reconstructive surgery. I figured I was healthy, and excess skin and fat is something I could live with. Boy was I wrong. Looking at my flabs and wrinkled skin was a bad reminder of my old obese self, the person I wanted to move on from. I had such low self-esteem when I was obese. I found Dr. J Timothy Katzen through Real Self and had no doubt he is the right surgeon for my situation. Dr. Katzen was the clear choice because of how many before and after pictures he had, the number of great reviews, the questions and answers, the videos, and his credentials, I mean I can go on forever. I felt super confident in my decision and sure enough, he delivered. Dr. Katzen did a circumferential body lift and I could not be more pleased with the results and care I received from everyone. I am forever grateful for how Dr. Katzen transformed my body. My self-esteem and confidence have already improved by milestones.
A miracle worker - I look like an improved version of myself - If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Katzen is by far the best doctor I've ever encountered. His bedside manner is impeccable and he never made me feel rushed in my appointments with him, answering every question I had. I came to him to finish my weight loss transformation after losing 150 lbs resulting in a lot of excess skin. I had 2 rounds of surgery combining several procedures together; round 1 was lower body lift with muscle repair, neck lipo, and medial thigh lift and round 2 was arm lift with horizontal back lift, breast lift, and augmentation. It was a lot and recovery was intense but Katzen and his staff always made sure that I was well taken care of and supported every step of the way. My results are beyond anything I ever imagined Dr. Katzen truly is an artist but most importantly he didn't try to sell me on procedures I didn't need and he tailored my surgeries for the best results so I look like an improved version of myself and not lot a plastic doll off the assembly lot. I'm so grateful to Dr. Katzen and his amazing staff.
Changed my life - Thank you Dr Katzen and his team for all your kindness and hard work. I'm so grateful I found you. I just couldn't live another year of this. Like I said I have tons of friends in the silicone community and I know it's a rush when you first start to mod journey and you don't really think of the consequence or long term problems. Like I said I started penis and ball enhancement about 17 years ago and it was fun at first...until it wasn't. I know a lot of guys who don't like their silicone but think if they just keep getting more at least they'll have enormous junk and guys or maybe even girls, will love that. But if you're not happy with your results and WISH you could take it back, I recommend giving Dr Katzen a call. He didn't judge me and made me feel comfortable right from the start. He has an awesome bedside manner. When he said he could make me look 85-90 percent better I cried. A lot of you guys might know me as LAmeatpacker from all the silicone groups, so you know you can trust me. You'll know when it's time to make the call. I'm looking forward to healing and not having infections on vacation, not having time sucking TSA dramas, to buying pants off the rack, and not paying for custom made, wearing shorts and tights again at the gym, and not having to sit down to piss. Thanks again Dr Katzen you changed my life.

What Causes Loose Skin?
A number of aspects can cause loose skin, including:
- Age: With aging, the skin naturally loses elasticity due to a decrease in the production of elastin and collagen, proteins that maintain skin firmness and structure.
- Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss can result in loose skin as the skin stretches to accommodate excess fat and then loses elasticity when the weight is lost. This can also result in the development of stretch marks, further contributing to a sagging appearance.
- Pregnancy: The skin stretches during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and weight gain. After childbirth, the skin may not fully regain its original elasticity, leading to skin laxity.
What Are The Symptoms Of Loose Skin?
Loose skin can present as drooping, wrinkling, and excess folds of skin that appear loose or saggy. In some cases, sagging skin may cause discomfort or irritation, particularly when skin friction occurs, such as in areas like the underarms or inner thighs. Additionally, individuals may experience reduced sensitivity or numbness in areas of loose skin.

Loose Skin FAQs
Can loose skin improve on its own over time?
Loose skin may naturally tighten over time, especially in younger individuals with good skin elasticity. Factors like age, genetics, and the extent of the sagging play a role in whether the skin will bounce back. Regular exercise and proper hydration can sometimes help improve the appearance of mild loose skin by toning the muscles underneath. However, for more significant cases, medical or surgical interventions are often the most effective solutions.
Does weight loss always lead to loose skin?
Not everyone experiences loose skin after weight loss; it depends on factors such as age, skin elasticity, and the amount of weight lost. Gradual weight loss allows the skin to adjust more effectively compared to rapid weight loss. People with better collagen production may retain tighter skin even after losing significant weight. However, dramatic weight loss, especially after bariatric surgery, can often leave behind excess skin that doesn’t conform to the body’s new shape.
How does hydration affect loose skin?
Proper hydration is essential for maintaining healthy, supple skin, but it cannot entirely reverse loose skin. Drinking enough water supports the skin's elasticity and helps it appear plumper and smoother. Dehydrated skin may look dull and exacerbate the appearance of sagging. While staying hydrated is beneficial for overall skin health, it is not a standalone solution for addressing significant loose skin.
