Why Does Loose Skin Happen After Weight Loss?

When the body expands with weight gain, the skin stretches to accommodate the increase in size. After substantial weight loss, that stretched skin may not shrink back due to a loss of elasticity—similar to how overused clothing loses its original shape.

The more weight you've lost, the more likely you are to experience:

Sagging skin around the abdomen, arms, thighs, and chest
Discomfort during movement or exercise
Poor fit in clothing despite achieving a healthy weight

Body contouring surgery is often the final step in helping patients feel fully comfortable and confident in their new bodies.

Surgical Body Contouring Options in Tampa

Surgical procedures are often the most effective way to remove excess skin and restore your body’s natural lines. Popular options include:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Removes loose skin and tightens abdominal muscles to create a flatter, smoother midsection.

Body Lift

Comprehensively removes sagging skin from the abdomen, lower back, buttocks, and outer thighs—ideal after dramatic weight loss.

Breast Lift

Raises and reshapes drooping breasts, which often lose volume and elasticity after weight reduction.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Eliminates hanging skin from the upper arms, restoring a firm, contoured shape.

Thigh Lift

Targets loose, wrinkled, or dimpled skin on the inner and/or outer thighs for smoother leg contours.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatments

If you're not ready for surgery, we also offer minimally invasive treatments that help tighten and tone the skin:

BodyTite™

A radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) system that tightens skin and melts fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and male chest.

ThermiTight®

Delivers controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose areas.

ThermiSmooth® 250

Uses external radiofrequency technology to firm the skin and improve its texture through collagen stimulation. These treatments are best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and can be great alternatives or complements to surgery.
