How to Tighten Loose Belly Skin without Surgery

1. Still, it takes time to see skin tightening improvements. This varies, within weeks or months following therapy.
2. Typically, more than one treatment is needed for optimal results. One treatment of some procedures is also costly. ThermiTight, for example, each treatment could be around $3,500 to $5,000!
3. To maintain results in long term, treatment of some procedures would be repeated periodically.
4. Most of non-invasive procedures are not effective for more advanced loose belly skin.

However, they are worth a try if going under the knife (surgery) is not your option. This is especially true if you don’t desire more dramatic body sculpting – and your loose belly skin doesn’t require more dramatic lifting & skin removal. In such case, when your loose skin is mild to moderate, you are probably good candidate for one or some of those non-invasive procedures.

On the other hand, cosmetic surgery is likely suggested if:

1. You have more advanced loose belly skin so non-invasive procedures are less effective.
2. You’re ready for the budget and risks since you expect more dramatic body sculpting.
3. You prefer to choose a procedure only once than a series of treatments like most non-invasive procedures to get your final results.
4. Your abs is already in good shape and appearance, but you’d like to enhance to the next level.
5. Your specialist agrees that surgical procedures would work better than other treatment options to acquire your desired results.

Whether surgery or non-invasive procedures are best for your loose belly skin, consult with an experienced cosmetic specialist /surgeon. If possible, work with specialist certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

In addition, although most non-invasive skin tightening procedures carry fewer risks than surgery, this doesn’t mean they are safe for everyone. Some procedures are not recommended when you’re taking certain medications, being pregnant, or if you have certain health conditions [4]. Ask a board-certified physician for more guidance!

Also, budget could be the major concern for some of us. Non-invasive procedures often require more than one treatment, so they are actually costly. Therefore it’s important to choose the right one.

Furthermore before investing in a non-invasive procedure, it’s recommended to wait for months or a year if you lose weight recently. This is important to see whether you’re already in your ‘permanent’ weight scale — or you regain all /some of your weight before trying any skin-tightening procedure.
