Skin tightening

Postby honolulu_honey » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:21 pm

Hi Dr Lam,
I noticed that most (all) of your work revolves around the face, but I was wondering if you can help me with skin tightening info. I am currently losing weight and although Im doing it slowly and toning up, I am worried about excess skin (I mean Im only 20!). I was reading about laser skin tightening and wanted to know if it is something you recommend for me. My arms are currently 16 inches fat, so I know there might be some hanging. What is your advice?
Thanks

i perform Accent XL to tighten the skin, which did wonders for my mom's arms but to be honest it won't be enough if you are having massive weight loss. you need to consult a body guy to give you a more accurate answer. :)

oftentimes if you think the skin is loose most likely it is not. it is just volume loss if you are beginning the aging process. in other words, for example, if you feel your brows are sagging they are most likely just becoming emptier (look at your old photos) and through deflation look sagging. if you are over 35 years of age, then you may need fat grafting or fillers to fix it. some people in their early 30s already have some signs of that.
