Overweight people experience sagging in their skin and subcutaneous tissues, which are swollen like a balloon after excessive weight loss due to diet and exercise, as well as after sleeve and stomach reduction surgery. Although there is a significant decrease in the amount of these tissues after weight loss, the skin, subcutaneous fat tissue and regional muscles often cannot recover sufficiently. The elastic fibers of the expanded skin separate from each other, and unsightly deep cracks and sagging often occur. Thus, sagging skin and deformity due to loosening of the muscles occur along with fat accumulation on the skin, which does not improve with exercise and diet. Significant skin sagging is observed in the inner arm, abdomen, back, waist and inner thigh areas.
