How To Tighten Loose Skin After Gastric Bypass Without Surgery

Many women who have gastric bypass surgery wonder how their bodies will change after surgery. After this procedure, patients will lose weight and body fat. Most patients lose between 50% and 60% of their excess weight, and some women may lose as much as 70%. If you are planning on weight loss surgery, you may be excited to see your new, healthier body.

But your post-surgery weight loss can lead to some unexpected changes in your physical appearance. As your body fat decreases, you may notice an increase in excess skin, especially around your abdominal area. How much excess skin you have depends on your age, genetics and amount of weight lost. If you intend to improve your appearance, you may wonder how to tighten your loose skin. Luckily, there are many options from Leonisa for minimizing the appearance of excess skin without surgery.

Choosing Shapewear

After your gastric bypass surgery, you can smooth out the look of excess skin with our comfortable line of shapewear for women. Some shapewear targets all of your problem areas with one garment, while other shapewear options target specific areas.

For all-over slimming, we offer a line of comfortable bodysuits. Available in tan or black, our bodysuits feature details like lace panels, mesh and removable straps to give you the look you want. Our line of bodysuits smooth common areas where you’ll tend to have loose skin like the back, stomach and butt. Some bodysuits feature a built-in underwire bra with adjustable straps. These bodysuits give your bust an extra boost. If you have loose skin around your thighs, we have bodysuits with built-in slimming shorts or leggings.

For targeted compression around your waist, we have a line of waist cinchers and camisoles. Waist cinchers and trainers slim the waist and back and provide lumbar support. Our waist trainers feature a hook and eye closure for easy on and off. We offer both latex and latex-free options. Camisole shapers look like a tank or camisole but provide moderate shaping. These tops are great under casual shirts. We also have a shaper tank that’s open-bust and works with your bra to tighten excess skin where you need it most.
