The ideal body is hampered by flabbiness. What to do?

Saggy parts are difficult to hide. It looks terrible. It feels like you are wearing a shapeless bag. You feel tired and lacking energy. Instead of elasticity - wrinkling. Instead of smoothness there are stretch marks. Is there really no way to tighten it up? Of course it's difficult. However, with the proper desire and perseverance, anything is possible. But before we look at methods to combat this problem, let’s look at the reasons.

Causes of sagging

There are actually many different factors. I suggest going through the most popular:

• unhealthy diet while losing weight
• sudden weight loss
• losing a significant amount of weight.

• mature age

These are the main reasons for the deplorable appearance. We must not forget about the individual characteristics of the body and state of health. They should be taken into account on the path to health and beauty.

Everything we ingest has a direct effect on our body. Therefore, when losing weight, it is important to monitor the composition of your meals. It is enough to follow a few simple principles.

Never mix proteins with carbohydrates. The principles of separate nutrition were invented for a reason. Digesting proteins and carbohydrates requires different enzymes. Don't overload your body just like that. Leave him the energy to fight excess deposits.

Try to eat as much fruit as possible. But without fanaticism. In terms of energy value, there is little that can compare with natural fruits. They include all the necessary components and trace elements. The resulting energy will be used to eliminate excess tissue.

Water. Drink a lot. However, listen to yourself and don't overdo it. Thanks to the substantial volume of fluid, the body will begin to remove toxins through the kidneys along with it. In a matter of days you will see the effect.

Plastic surgery

This is the most radical, but at the same time effective way to get rid of flabbiness. Today, the achievements of plastic surgery are amazing. An experienced surgeon excises and tightens external tissue on the abdomen, hips, arms, face, and removes excess fat. Sometimes it is necessary to resort to lipofilling, that is, pumping the patient’s fat into problem areas to form a healthy and smooth area of ​​the body. For example, excess fat from the hips and knee area is transferred to the buttocks area. This is how ideal legs and butt are formed. Abdominoplasty will help you get a gorgeous belly. During this operation, the surgeon not only performs liposuction and removal of sagging areas, but also tightens the abdominal muscles, shapes the waist, and transfers the navel.

Today, plastic surgery is popular not only among women, but also among men. And this is not surprising; today beauty is important for the stronger half of humanity. Men have a slightly different physiology: they have more muscles, and the outer covering is rougher. But still, the problem of flabbiness is not alien to them.

If a woman has sagging breasts, mammoplasty (breast augmentation with implants) or a lift is used.

Plastic surgery is the most natural intervention of foreign objects. Naturally, there are a number of contraindications:

• poor blood clotting;
• viral infectious diseases;
• heart pathologies;
• endocrine disorders, such as diabetes;
• oncology;
• allergy to anesthesia.

Plastic surgery has both pros and cons. It is important to evaluate the pros and cons of this approach.

But we should not forget about the psychological background of the issue. After all, a body with severely sagging skin causes psychological discomfort and complexes, including in your personal life. Therefore, very often, plastic surgery is the only way out of the situation.

Has anyone done plastic surgery like this before? It would be interesting to know the real stories. Did you manage to tighten your skin? Write in the comments!

Surgical intervention

You can resort to the help of a surgeon only in extreme cases, for example, if a woman weighed 130 kg and lost weight to 70. The remaining flabby skin gathers in folds and significantly interferes with life. In general, the tightening procedure is simple and is not accompanied by complications. The rehabilitation period lasts from 2 to 4 months.

There are the following types of surgical lift:

1. On the inner thigh. With this type of intervention, two long incisions are made from the knee to the groin area. This method is effective if you need to remove a large amount of loose skin. The spiral lift helps shape beautiful thighs; it is usually used for people after extreme weight loss, when huge folds of skin remain. More often, a combined technique is used, in which the effect is carried out on certain problem areas.
2. Butt lift using implants. During the operation, an incision is made in the hollow between the buttocks, and an implant is inserted through it. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, rehabilitation lasts 3-6 months. This type of lift is beneficial because you can literally form new buttocks and get rid of loose skin.
3. Butt lift without implants. The operation is performed in the same way as a thigh lift, and recovery only takes a couple of months. But it is important to take into account that a lift without implants will only remove sagging; you will have to form the roundness yourself in the gym.
4. Brazilian lift. One of the most painless surgical interventions is based on the introduction of gold, platinum or Teflon threads under the skin, which hold the tissue of the buttocks and prevent them from sagging.

Despite the quick and excellent effect, doctors do not recommend undergoing surgery without proper reason. Try sports, proper nutrition and salon treatments first.

Prevention

It’s better not to get rid of a large amount of tissue, but to prevent its appearance. Let us list the basic rules for losing weight so that the skin membrane does not lose its elasticity.

1. When losing weight, you need to lose weight gradually, without jerks, no more than 5 kg per month.
2. It is imperative to combine proper nutrition and sufficient physical activity. If the gym isn't your thing, try boxing or dancing. Then the muscles will become stronger, the body and skin will become toned.
3. The need for special cream and lotion. Ideal for prevention.
4. Carry out cosmetic procedures and massage (self-massage) for prevention.
5. Control your weight.

Cosmetology procedures

You can eliminate stretch marks on the face and body with the help of modern cosmetology achievements.

Today, in almost every city there are salons where the following procedures are performed:

1. Ultrasonic exposure. During ultrasonic lifting, involuntary contraction of subcutaneous muscles and soft tissues occurs. Because of this, small and large wrinkles are tightened.
2. Mesotherapy. This type of skin correction is based on the introduction of special drugs into the skin that help improve metabolism, increased hormone production and hydration of soft tissues. The lift is quick and almost painless.
3. Laser resurfacing. During the laser irradiation procedure, the upper keratinized layers of the skin are burned. In this case, the deeper layers are also affected. By contracting, they lead to tightening of the skin and improvement of its consistency.

Cosmetic procedures do not provide permanent results. The procedures must be repeated periodically.

Firming body creams

One of the most common methods of combating sagging skin is creams. However, it is worth noting that they are used in combination with other means (massage, masks, wraps, scrubs, etc.). At the same time, the cream must be used regularly to achieve maximum effect.

The cream can be applied daily (after using the scrub) twice a day: in the morning and in the evening before bed.

Medicinal properties

So, a skin tightening cream should contain many useful components, which, in turn, have the following medicinal properties:

• hyaluronic acid moisturizes and binds collagen fibers; also, due to its participation in cell regeneration, promotes wound healing and weakens the negative effects of ultraviolet rays, as it has the ability to attract moisture;
• retinol increases elasticity;
• Vitamin E activates tissue respiration processes, thus supplying cells with oxygen and removing decay products from them;
• vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant and participant in the process of collagen biosynthesis;
