The Final Step in Your Weight Loss Journey: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening & Body Contouring

Losing weight—whether through bariatric surgery, medical weight loss, or GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro—is a huge accomplishment. But for many, the journey doesn’t end with the number on the scale. Loose skin, stubborn fat pockets, and changes in body contour can make it difficult to fully enjoy the results of your hard work.

If you’ve experienced significant weight loss and are looking for a way to tighten your skin and refine your shape without surgery, advanced non-surgical treatments may be the solution.

Why Loose Skin Happens After Weight Loss

Rapid or significant weight loss—especially 50 pounds or more—can leave behind stretched, sagging skin. This happens because the skin’s elasticity struggles to “snap back” after being stretched for a long time. The area’s most commonly affected include:

• The abdomen, especially after pregnancy or major weight loss
• Upper arms, leading to the appearance of “bat wings”
• Thighs, where loose skin can cause discomfort and chafing
• The face and neck, often referred to as “Ozempic face” due to loss of fat volume

While procedures like tummy tucks and arm lifts can be effective, not everyone is willing to undergo surgery due to the downtime, scarring, or cost. Fortunately, non-surgical body contouring and skin tightening treatments offer an alternative. Dr. Hesham Atwa, founder of Long Island Laparoscopic Surgeons, is a trusted leader in minimally invasive surgery and aesthetic treatments, helping patients achieve their goals with less recovery time and outstanding results.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening: How It Works

Advanced non-surgical treatments use radiofrequency (RF) energy and micro needling to stimulate collagen production, firm up skin, and refine body contours without incisions or long recovery periods.

• Morpheus8 – A deep fractional RF micro needling treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness, texture, and elasticity—perfect for sagging skin on the face, neck, arms, and abdomen.
• FaceTite & BodyTite – RF-assisted contouring treatments that melt stubborn fat and tighten skin simultaneously, offering results that approach surgery—but without the scars or extended downtime.
• Liposuction with Skin Tightening – For those with small areas of remaining fat, combining minimally invasive liposuction with RF skin tightening can create a more sculpted, toned appearance.

These treatments help reshape and tighten areas that diet and exercise alone cannot improve, making them ideal for post-weight loss patients who have done the hard work but need a little extra help to feel their best.

What to Expect from Treatment

• Visible skin tightening and contouring after just one treatment, with continued improvements over time
• Minimally invasive procedures with no major incisions, stitches, or long recoveries
• Quick return to normal activities – most people resume daily routines within a few days
• Natural-looking results that enhance your weight loss transformation

Who is a Good Candidate?

These treatments work best for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity and small areas of stubborn fat. If you have excessive loose skin, surgical options like a tummy tuck or arm lift may be more appropriate. Ideal candidates typically:

• Have lost a significant amount of weight and are close to their goal weight
• Have a BMI under 30 and maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Are committed to pre- and post-procedure care for optimal results
