Types of Skin Tightening Surgery

There are plenty of plastic surgery procedures that can be performed to help reduce excess skin that droops or sags. Many people require this sort of surgery, especially after losing a lot of weight. Whether this occurs as a result of bariatric surgery, pregnancy, or just changes in lifestyle, it makes no difference; New Jersey plastic surgery is the best answer out there for enhancing and improving the overall body contour.

Why People Require Skin Tightening Surgery

The skin can stretch out a great deal as you gain a lot of weight. The expansion of the skin can be quite pronounced, especially in the abdominal area. After that weight is lost, it can only shrink back so far since that is just the nature of skin laxity. It’s a bit like what happens when you stretch out a sweater too much or an elastic band. The only way to tighten this skin is skin tightening surgery.

Skin Tightening Surgery That Targets the Abdominal Area

For the abdominal area, the most common surgery that is performed is the New Jersey tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). A tummy tuck will involve the removal of skin from the lower abdominal area in order to improve the overall contour and shape of the stomach.

Skin Tightening Surgery That Targets the Breasts/Chest

The breasts and chest area can droop and sag considerably after major weight loss. That’s why women often undergo breast reduction surgery or breast lift surgery to improve the overall firmness and perkiness of the breasts. In some cases, breast implants can be placed to help improve overall appearance of the breasts. Men can undergo male chest reduction surgery to reduce sagging of the pectoral area.

Skin Tightening Surgery That Targets the Face

The face can be subject to loose and droopy skin as well. Sometimes this is simply part of the aging process. To address this, people can undergo a facelift or other facial lifts targeted to different areas of the face. For the upper or lower eyelids, there is also blepharoplasty and eyelift, which can make a dramatic difference to your appearance.

Skin Tightening Surgery That Targets the Extremities

We’ve got most of the body covered, but we haven’t noted the extremities yet. Indeed, the limbs can be adversely affected by weight loss just like any other part of the body. But have no fear: both arm lift surgery and thigh lift surgery are available to help recountour the limbs.
