As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, which can lead to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Everyone experiences this regardless of age or body type, but there are treatment options that can help! At Capek Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of treatments for sagging skin (also known as skin laxity) designed to restore a smoother and more taut appearance.
How Do I Know If I Have Skin Laxity?
If you notice loose skin on your face or body, you likely have skin laxity problems. Wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss are often associated with skin laxity.
To test if sagging skin is a concern, you can pinch your skin to check how long it takes to rebound to its normal contour.
Treatments for Skin Laxity of the Face
We offer non-surgical and surgical treatment options to address loose facial skin. These procedures use the latest advanced technology to tighten, firm or remove excess skin to help restore a more rejuvenated appearance.
Treatments for Skin Laxity of the Breasts and Body
Aside from age, weight fluctuations can also lead to loose skin, especially when a patient undergoes major weight loss defined as 50 lbs or more. Dr. Capek offers a range of surgical treatments to restore your contours to a smoother, more sculpted and youthful appearance.
Non-Surgical Solutions – Face
TempSure Envi
Struggling with lines and wrinkles due to skin laxity? TempSure Envi is a non-invasive treatment option that uses radio frequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production and tightens and smooths out the skin for a younger-looking appearance.

Sculptra
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that stimulates collagen production, restoring volume and improving skin quality over time. Unlike traditional fillers, it gradually enhances fullness and firmness by encouraging your body’s own collagen growth. It can be used on the face, décolleté and other body areas for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Eyelid Lift
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, rejuvenates tired-looking eyes by removing excess skin, reducing puffiness, and smoothing wrinkles on the upper and lower lids. This procedure restores a refreshed, youthful appearance while maintaining natural expression. It can also improve your vision, if sagging skin obstructs your peripheral vision.

Forehead (Brow) Lift
A brow lift rejuvenates your appearance by lifting sagging brows, smoothing forehead wrinkles, and reducing frown lines. This procedure restores a refreshed, more alert look while maintaining natural expression. It can also enhance the eye area, creating a more open and youthful appearance.

Neck & Face Lift
A face and neck lift tightens sagging skin, lifts jowls and a neck waddle, and smooths deep wrinkles for a naturally refreshed look. By restoring definition to the jawline and eliminating loose neck skin, the modern version of this procedure helps you look like a younger version of yourself without appearing overdone or like a different person.

For those struggling with a heavy neck and mild skin laxity, the PrecisionTx LaserLift can be the perfect solution. With no visible scarring and minimal downtime, you can get back to your normal activities immediately within a couple of days!

Abdonimoplasty
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles for a firmer, flatter midsection. Ideal for those with loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss, it restores contour and boosts confidence, achieving results that diet and exercise alone may not provide.

Arm Lift
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a tighter, more toned contour. Ideal for those with sagging skin due to weight loss or aging, it enhances confidence and expands fashion choices. While it does leave a scar, the improved arm shape makes it a worthwhile trade-off.

Bra-Line Back Lift
A bra-line back lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper back to create a smoother, more contoured appearance. The incision is carefully placed to be hidden under a bra. This procedure enhances confidence by eliminating bulges and improving the fit of clothing, resulting in a more sculpted silhouette.

Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores a youthful, perky shape by lifting and reshaping sagging breasts. Ideal after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, it also improves symmetry and nipple position along with a firmer, more contoured look. For added volume, it can be combined with augmentation using breast implants or your won fat for more fullness.

Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift tightens and reshapes the abdomen, hips, upper thighs and buttocks by removing excess skin and fat all the way around your middle. Ideal after significant weight loss, it enhances body contours for a firmer, more sculpted look. Often combined with liposuction, this procedure provides dramatic, long-lasting improvements in body shape and confidence.

Thigh Lift
A thigh lift reshapes the upper legs by removing excess skin and fat, often after weight loss or aging. This procedure creates firmer, more toned thighs that better fit your body’s contours. For long-lasting results, maintaining a healthy weight and active lifestyle is key.
