Body Contouring in Patients With Poor Skin Quality: How Is a Skin-Tightening Strategy Built?
In body-contouring procedures, removing fat or adjusting volume alone is not sufficient. For results to appear aesthetic, smooth, and long-lasting, the skin must be able to adapt to the body’s new form. However, in some patients, skin elasticity is weak, tissues are lax, and the capacity for retraction is limited. In such cases, liposuction alone often fails to achieve the desired level of tightening, and looseness, surface irregularities, or a deflated appearance may occur.
