I have significant stretch marks and loose skin after losing 81 lbs. I am 5'3" and currently 124 lbs and looking to tighten up the loose skin on my abdomen. Will Thermage give me the results I'm looking for?
Probably not. Unfortunately, you may need to see a plastic surgeon on this one because even the most advanced skin tightening machine (Ultherapy) is really designed for mild laxity. I would definitely not waste money on Thermage for this without at least seeing a doctor that can see you and advise!

I would tell you not to waste your money on Thermage. It sounds like your best option is abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). The various skin tightening techniques may be slightly beneficial, but if you have
significant laxity with the stretch marks, you will do best with surgery.
