Loose skin after weight loss (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)
What is it?
Significant weight loss, especially with new treatments such as Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro, can leave loose skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs or face. Several solutions exist depending on the degree of laxity.
Who is it for?
They are intended for people whose weight has been stable for several months.
How it is done
Assessment during the consultation: radiofrequency and liposuction for moderate laxity, skin-excess surgery (abdominoplasty, arm or thigh lift) for significant laxity.
Anaesthesia
Depending on the technique: local, sedation or general.
Recovery
Variable depending on the procedure, from a few days to several weeks.
The result
The aim is to restore harmonious contours; scars are unavoidable with skin-excess surgery.
Risks
Like any procedure, this one carries risks that are rare but real (infection, haematoma, healing problems, asymmetry, reaction to anaesthesia...). They are explained in detail during the consultation, with written information.
