I lost 60 lbs (and counting) over the last 2 years or so. I have a lot of loose skin at my upper arms and I’m really self conscious about it. I also still have some loose skin around my neck. Has anyone done lipo or something else to remove fat and tighten skin? I’m in NYC if you have a good plastic surgeon to recommend.

Lipo will not tighten skin.

Wait until your weight is stable for a year. It sounds like you’re still losing, so you wouldn’t want to do anything surgical before the surgeon needs to see your final, settled, body in order to have good, predictable results. Also your skin will bounce back a bit once you stabilize. Again, I’d give it a year.

In the meantime use a good moisturizer with retinol and sunscreen always. You could do RF microneedling in the meantime to help tighten the skin, but if budget is any concern at all just save it for the eventual surgery - you won’t get surgical results from anything non-invasive.

Thank you so much for this info!! At 34, my skin elasticity is definitely not what I would have hoped for and I don’t expect the skin to snap back, sadly. My upper arms have always been a sore point for me and now they’re just insanely saggy and flappy because they’re even more empty than before! Though I’d love a tummy tuck, I’m not there yet because I don’t have enough loose skin in my midsection to make it worthwhile (maybe lipo would make sense though there at some point…). I will reach out with questions!!

Congratulations! That takes a lot of hard work and dedication!

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
