Personalized Body Contouring in New York City
Excess Fat & Loose Skin Treatment on Fifth Avenue, NYC
Excess fat and loose skin in New York patients can persist even with healthy habits. Stubborn fat (also called resistant fat) may be influenced by genetics, hormones, aging, or past weight changes. Skin laxity and sagging skin develop as collagen and elastin decline over time. At Dr. Dennis Gross Dermatology, we evaluate your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals to create a body sculpting plan that addresses both excess fat and skin quality—for results that look natural and balanced across areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, bra line, and under-chin region.

Treatment Options for Excess Fat and Loose Skin We May Recommend
We will outline the number of sessions, expected changes, and maintenance strategies so you know exactly what to expect at our New York practice on Fifth Avenue.
What to Expect During and After
Most sessions take about 30–60 minutes per area with little to no downtime. You may feel warmth, tingling, or temporary firmness in treated areas. Gradual improvements appear over several weeks as fat cells are cleared and new collagen forms. Many patients complete a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, then shift to periodic maintenance depending on goals and skin biology.

Most patients need 2–4 sessions per area to address excess fat and loose skin; your exact plan depends on the degree of skin laxity, area size, and goals.
No. Body contouring targets specific bulges of stubborn fat and improves skin quality, but it is not a weight-loss solution. Best results occur near a stable weight.
Some skin-tightening and collagen-stimulating options can smooth the look of mild dimpling, but cellulite is distinct from sagging skin. We will recommend the best option after examining the area.
