Should I Get Loose Skin Removal Surgery in Washington DC?

Is Removing Excess Skin Worth It?

You may not think there are downsides to significant weight loss, but for many, loose skin can cause an unexpected struggle.  Loose skin removal surgery in Washington, DC, at Peel Haus can help you feel confident and enjoy the results you’ve worked so hard for.

Loose Skin Removal Surgery in Washington, DC

After weight loss, skin doesn’t always snap back, especially if you’ve lost a lot of weight.  Many people wonder how much weight loss is needed to be a good candidate for loose skin removal surgery in Washington, DC.  Everyone’s body and skin elasticity is different, so there’s not a set number.  In most cases, it’s best to maintain your weight loss for six to twelve months before seeing a surgeon to find out if you’re a good candidate.  This will ensure stable results and safer healing.

Can You Tighten Skin Without Surgery?

Yes, you can tighten skin without surgery.  Skin can tighten naturally over time.  Adequate hydration, strength training, and good nutrition can all help.  If you only have a small amount of loose skin, we may suggest truSculpt as an alternative to loose skin removal surgery.  This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and improve your shape.

Weight Loss Surgery and Scars

Yes, loose skin removal surgery does create scars.  The good news is that our skilled surgeons place them in areas that can be hidden by clothing or swimwear.  As they heal, they fade significantly.  Most patients say the scars are worth the comfort and confidence they gain.  We also offer treatments that can improve the appearance of scars.
