Do you have flaps and folds of excess skin that are getting you down? Our skin is the largest organ that we have, but not only does it work very hard to protect our body, we ourselves also subject it to some serious abuse over time. Unfortunately, sometimes our skin changes and starts to sag. When this happens, it can have a detrimental effect on the way that we feel about our appearance, as well as causing us some health issues.

 

Why does skin sag?

Skin can start to sag for a number of different reasons. In most cases, sagging skin is an age-related issue, occurring as a result of the natural deterioration of collagen – the substance that gives our skin its elasticity. This often happens on the face as we get older. However, when it comes to sagging skin on our body, a lack of collagen is not the only cause. During our lifetime many of us find that our weight fluctuates. For some people, the fluctuations are significant and enough to cause the skin to overstretch. When the person then goes on to lose weight, their overstretched skin cannot return to how it was before, leading to sagging.

 

If you have lost a great deal of weight, being left with sagging skin can be incredibly frustrating. It can affect your overall appearance, leaving you with lumps and rolls that look unsightly in certain styles of clothes and not the sleek, toned silhouette that you have worked so hard to achieve. However, sagging skin can also lead to the development of skin rashes and yeast infections in any folds that you have.

 

Is it possible to reverse sagging skin?

There really is a cosmetic surgery solution for just about every esthetic problem, and sagging skin is no different. However, what is really effective is when a cosmetic surgery treatment is combined with a liposuction procedure to produce not just excellent but superior results that see patients able to achieve the smooth, toned and more youthful appearance that they have been working towards.

 

Exactly what procedure is right for you will depend on which area of your body you would like to improve. It is possible to reverse sagging skin across those key areas that cause us the most concern. For example:

 

  • If you have sagging skin on your abdomen, you may be recommended to have a tummy tuck procedure combined with liposuction.

  • If you have sagging skin on your upper arms or thighs, you may be recommended to consider contouring surgery which is combined with liposuction.

  • If you have sagging skin across your buttocks, you might be advised to consider a Brazilian butt lift with liposuction.

 

In order to establish which procedures will benefit you, you will first need to attend a consultation with your cosmetic surgeon who will carry out a comprehensive assessment of your body and find out what changes you wish to achieve.
