Effective Solutions to Address Sagging Skin after Weight Loss

Sudden weight loss can happen following various factors, such as post-pregnancy, recovering from an illness, preparing for a sports competition, adopting a healthier lifestyle (i.e., better diet, better sleep quality and improved exercise intake), or taking specific medications (i.e., Ozempic for weight loss made infamous by Oprah Winfrey [1]). This can lead to certain concerns like loose or sagging skin, which can be uncomfortable and make you more self-conscious.

So why does saggy skin happen? It’s because skin requires time to adjust to the body’s new shape. Our doctors recommend a minimum of 6 months at a consistent weight before addressing saggy skin, since your skin is still adapting. Though we at Victoria Park Medispa have a wide variety of treatments to help with loose skin, we suggest pairing these with resistance training to increase muscle mass and tone your body, not to mention all the other health and mental benefits of being active! Moreover, it’s important to ensure you have healthy nutritional habits and remain hydrated daily. Taking collagen on a regular basis can also help improve the appearance of plumpness in your skin [2].

Here are some effective treatments at Victoria Park Medispa that can help address your saggy skin concerns:

Non-Surgical Treatments

Dermal Fillers

When weight loss affects facial volume, it may result in a gaunt appearance, where your skin looks overly thin and tired often known as “Ozempic face” and one of many Ozempic side effects. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution that can restore the lost volume giving your face a youthful, plump appearance. The fillers are injected under the skin, providing immediate results and minimal downtime.

Ultherapy, Exilis and Morpheus8

These non-invasive treatments use advanced technologies to target and tighten loose skin. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy, while Exilis utilizes radiofrequency technology and Morpheus8 combines both ultrasound and radiofrequency for optimal results. These procedures are highly effective in stimulating collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that not only helps to tighten loose skin but also builds muscle and reduces fat. This procedure uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency technology to tone, strengthen, and sculpt the body in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. Below, you’ll find before-and-after pictures showcasing the results achieved by our actual patients.

Renuvion J-Plasma

Dr. Rizis, Plastic Surgeon at our Longueuil and Pointe-Claire clinics, suggests Renuvion J-Plasma as a non-invasive treatment “that uses plasma energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This procedure can be done on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, stomach, and thighs. Renuvion J-Plasma works by contracting the collagen fibers in the deeper layers of the skin but also by stimulating new collagen production, leading to tighter and firmer skin over time.”

Surgical Treatments

Tummy Tuck Surgery

If there’s a significant amount of loose skin on the torso, a tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, could be the ideal solution. This procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and stitching the remaining skin together for a firmer, flatter stomach.

Arm and Thigh Lift Procedures

For individuals with sagging skin on their arms or thighs, arm and thigh lift procedures are effective solutions. These surgical procedures remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance.
