Liposuction<\/a> is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat cells from targeted areas of the body. While it does accomplish fat removal, it is not a weight loss procedure. However, depending on the treatment area, skin quality, patient age, and other factors, the effects of liposuction may not be sufficient alone. Let\u2019s look at why and answer the question, \u201cDoes liposuction leave loose skin?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In most people who undergo liposuction, the skin will retract and create nice, smooth results. However, when a significant amount of fat is removed, the skin is of so-so quality, or other factors, the skin may not adequately contract. This can leave bulges or the appearance of loose skin. Luckily, there are ways to avoid or treat this if it occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, for patients with fairly good skin, but which may have lost some elasticity or is mildly damaged, skin tightening solutions during or after surgery such as J plasma or RF microneedling can help promote and improve skin tightening. This may also work well in small areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more significant sagging or loose skin, a patient may need a skin removal surgery like a tummy tuck<\/a> in addition to or instead of lipo. During a consultation, Dr. Sessa will examine the skin, treatment area, and medical history to determine if the patient is suited for only liposuction or a combination of procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n
