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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
