One of the most common concerns I hear from patients using GLP 1 weight loss injections in Mumbai and Khar is this:
“The weight is coming off, but my skin feels loose.”
This does not mean the treatment failed. It means the skin and fat loss timeline are not always the same.
Why loose skin happens after GLP 1 weight loss
When fat reduces quickly, the skin does not always shrink at the same pace. Skin elasticity depends on several factors:
age
genetics
amount of weight lost
speed of weight loss
previous pregnancies or weight fluctuations
GLP 1 medications reduce appetite efficiently, so weight loss can happen faster than the skin can adapt.
Areas where loose skin shows up most often
In clinical practice, these areas are most affected:
lower abdomen
upper arms
inner thighs
face and neck
Facial changes are often described as looking tired or hollow rather than simply loose.

Can loose skin be prevented
You cannot fully control genetics, but you can reduce severity.
What helps:
slow, controlled weight loss
adequate protein intake
resistance training to preserve muscle
proper hydration
avoiding extreme calorie restriction
This is why unsupervised or aggressive dosing leads to more aesthetic issues.
Non surgical options for mild laxity
If skin looseness is mild to moderate, non surgical treatments may help improve firmness.
Common options include:
skin tightening devices
collagen stimulating injectables
targeted fillers for facial volume loss

These treatments work best when expectations are realistic.
When surgery becomes the right option
When there is significant excess skin, no cream, injection, or device can remove it.
This is where surgery provides definitive correction.

Surgery is not a failure of weight loss. It is often the final step of transformation.
Timing matters more than people realise
The biggest mistake is rushing into correction too early.
I usually advise:
stabilise weight first
allow skin some time to retract naturally
reassess after weight plateaus
This prevents overtreatment and regret.
The Mumbai aesthetic reality
Many patients in Mumbai and Khar are professionals who want to look fit, healthy, and natural.
That means:
no extreme gaunt look
no over tightened face
no unnecessary procedures
Planning the aesthetic journey alongside weight loss gives the best result.
