Laser skin tightening



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had laser skin tightening after getting to goal? Did it make much a difference? I'm pretty convinced I would have to be really bad to undergo plastic surgery (except for my breast maybe), but I was wondering how well laser tightening worked. Anyone have any input?

Oh, I wish it worked! I just dont believe it could. I was sooooo lucky with a large weight loss, I dont have any hanging stomach, but I'm just frustrated by not being perfect. Lol, dressed you'd think I have a great figure, but I am a bit saggy and baggy, and its such a shame to be so fit and in such great shape but have the skin of an older woman. But I"m nowhere near bad enough to subject myself to a body lift - most of my sag is on my butt and lower back, and not on the front although my tummy is loose. But I'd be so hesitant to spend big money on a procedure that might only have a barely visible result that only you can really notcie.

I had Fraxel laser on my face and neck on a few ocasions over the past 2 years. There is a small difference but not enough to justify all the $$ I spent!

This is the first time I've heard anything about laser skin tightening. I'll have to do some research into it. I believe I'm ready after losing 100lbs, I look like a dying octopus. Needless to say, my hope for an intimate relationship lays at me feet, along with my breasts, stomach, arms, and butt.

Keep me informed if you do decide to do this. I'd love to know how it works. I'm not quite half way to goal yet but I know I will have some loose skin.

I think my biggest area of concern will be my thighs and arms. My stomach isn't super big to begin with so even though I may have some, i don't think it will be enough to warrant surgery. I carry my weight pretty proportionatly but my thighs are an area of concern. While I've always been very muscular, there is that patch of fat in my inner thighs that stretched me out as a teen... oh and my hips... :(

Watching the excess skin videos on YouTube have me a bit scared... lol

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
