Loose skin after weight loss

[mdec85]

I have some mild loose skin under my chin/turkey neck. Rest of body is good, down about 75lbs. I'm 41 6-3 250lbs now. Will ghkcu injections help this issue? Any recommendations to help make this a little better? It's directly under my chin on my neck, it bothers me so much

I would say probably not much. I did it from jump and no loose skin after 110 down,

Get to <24 bmi and reassess. Can possibly get down to ~20.5 BMI or so, but maybe not needed that low. You can start taking GHK-Cu. It might help, probably not much.

RF microneedling, radiofrequency tightening, Ultherapy/HIFU, or CO2 laser if crepey texture might help once goal weight reached.

No, not really thats stretched skin, in that spot it doesnt tend to firm up if it hasn't already. There's endless posts on glp1 turkey necks here and on reddit. The only real fix is surgical.

Look at it as a badge of honor. You beat being overweight and that turkey neck is your trophy hotshot.

Headward makes very good points! You may learn to live with it and stay at it a while to keep the weight off. As you get older this might come back to some degree possibly. I had plastics 15 years ago, then gained 140lbs back. Then Tirz 3 years ago, helped me get that weight off and keep it off. I could have Plastics again, but not gonna spend that kinda money again unless I hit the lottery.

Yeah, it's really annoying. My older relatives always tell me, "It's incredible how much you look like your grandfather."

I'm thinking of trying some GHK Cu multi-pin locally if it doesn't get better in six months.

Consider taking higher dosages of 3mg/day. And microneedeling. But don't stay longer than one month on GHK-Cu, before pausing for another month.

Why?

 

[Kyli]

Why?

What exactly do you mean with Why? Why 3mg? Because 3 mg is considered a higher dose. It can restructure the tissue, that -at least after my research - can't be done effectively on a lower dose.

And why 1 month on, 1 month off? To get the body the chance to get rid of the Copper. Especially with such higher dosages.

FYI, a neck lift costs $12k-$30k in the US or $2k-$7k in South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Mexico or Colombia.

Not really, but botox will help a little. I get a lot in my platysmal bands and under my chin for this very reason.

Thats a huge gamble !! with your life tho

I don't know. I mean people get face lifts all the time (similar, but slightly different from neck lift). Hematoma risk needing intervention is ~1.8–2%, nerve injury <1%. And even these resolve themselves after treatment 6-12 months later 75-90% of the time. So if OP wants to try to get very lean like 20-22 BMI or less and it's still there and bothersome, then he can think about it, save money and weigh the risks.

I might get a face lift many years in the future just for wrinkles. Going to try GHK-Cu/microneeding/lasering, etc. sooner than that probably (GHK-Cu first because it's easy; the others if I feel like it later on).

Nope, my necks looks terrible - I continue to use klow hoping it may help a little but I haven't noticed any improvement. It bugs me a lot too but nothing short of surgery to really be done about it.

Can confirm. Have lost 55lbs so far, but super loose skin under chin, on the neck. Went on GHK-Cu (2mg/daily) as well as microneedle/GHK-Cu cream. While it definitely improved the feel of my skin, the quality, and resiliency, it has not in fact fixed the loose skin on my neck, or at least not much.

Is it possible that glow70 could work better in this application. With the addition of the tb500 and bpc157 is there a chance this could help with the lose belly skin?

What helps with that loose belly skin is:
Fantastic genetics.

The longer you were fat the more stretched the skin is.
If you are younger its more apt to bounce back, but again that depends on genetics. Once the skin is very stretched. Any peptide fixes are like putting toothpaste back in the tube with a spoon.
On a time limit. With both eyes closed.

I'm telling myself to wait a year. My neck, where my ass used to be, my lower abdomen. I'm not judging ANY of them yet. I want to see what they do over time.

For reference, I started Klow in September at 165 lbs (start weight was 186 lbs) and have been cycling it at two months on, one month off, since then. Ghk-cu part of it is 2 mg per day, every day. It didn't save me. I don't know how much worse it would have been without it, though, which is why we'll all eventually have a freezer full of klow and no firm idea if it's doing anything.

There are exercises which really help with that especially at your age, if it is not too much. Must be well done a few times a day. I am 58 years old and doing the exercises since one month ago. Not completey dissappeared yet. But 2/3 is gone already. My best friend has recommended it. He has started it a few years ago and he doesn't have it anymore. He says that it takes a couple of months until you get rid of it. He still does the exercises once or twice a week. Just to keep it in good shape.

Some beauty clinics claim that two times lemon bottle injections solve that problem. I have ordered one kit 2 months ago. But did not use it. I don't thrust it. No risicos with exercises. Just give it a try.

I’m about to start KLOW for all its benefits particularly for my skin. Have the vials just reading up as much as I can before I start.

I am 123lbs down and yup I have the neck thing and it does bother me, but nothing will help this only surgery I’m afraid. Or putting weight back on and I’m pretty sure we don’t want that!!!

I knew it going in. I accepted early on It’s the price you pay. More people really need to know and accept at the beginning this is going to happen to them to some extent- unless you are 20 yrs old and have been fat for a year & even then- and there is nothing they can do to stop it. Especially if on Reta you are dropping serious weight in a short space of time. Or if you know you have a fair bit of weight to lose like I did. Some things can help a bit with appearance/texture of skin but cannot stop it.

Looking after your skin of course has its own benefits and is something you should start if you haven’t already.

I have loose skin on my gut, chest, upper arms, even a bit of ozempic face, after losing about 80kg. In no kind of position to consider cosmetic procedures. The way I see it is, it is just so much better and more comfortable to live with some loose skin than all that extra skin stretched tight and heavy and barely able to move. Just rolling over in bed used to be a multistage procedure. I like the comment about peptide fixes and putting toothpaste back in the tube, sorry to all those who believe it will work.

I had loose skin on abdomen handled surgically and honestly, best thing I ever did. It was a lifelong insecurity for me, maybe you aren't as bothered by your situation and won't get as much out of it as a result. But if you're really bugged by it, you only live once and the younger you get it done the longer you get to enjoy your spruced up body/neck/etc before your body is a mess anyway. I say stop farting around with meds/peptides that won't work and get a second job or do what it takes if it's important to you.

Where did you have the surgery done?

Clinics in these countries have invested heavily in cosmetic surgery facilities featuring the latest equipment, medications and employing top-notch practitioners so they're probably about as safe or safer than clinics in North America or Europe... plus you get to travel to exotic locations!! I'd certainly consider it, especially since I've lived in South America and Asia in the recent past.
