Liposuction will not tighten loose skin, and if you have poor elasticity it will make your loose skin even worse. Depending on the body part affected, a procedure such as tummy tuck, thigh lift, or arm lift is the appropriate treatment for loose skin. You said you have fatty deposits as well, those can be treated with liposuction in conjunction with a procedure to remove the excess skin.

When liposuction is used alone, good skin tone and elasticity are a must for good results. When the skin is in good condition, it will tighten up, giving you the desired body contour. For loose skin and fatty deposits, you may want to consider one of the following:

  • Arm lift – removes excess skin and tightens tissues in the arm
  • Thigh lift – tightens up the inner or outer thigh
  • Tummy tuck – removes excess skin and tightens loose muscles in the abdomen

All three procedures can remove some excess fat, but you may need liposuction along with a skin tightening procedure to achieve the desired results.

Double Chin, Jowls, and Neck

The same principles apply if the problem is in your face and neck area. Liposuction can be used to correct a double chin by removing fat deposits, but if loose skin is also a problem a facelift and/or neck lift may be necessary to give you the look you desire.
