Sagging Abdominal Skin
Sagging abdominal skin, often resulting from significant weight loss, ageing, or pregnancy, is a condition where the skin around the abdomen loses its elasticity and firmness. This can lead to discomfort, self-consciousness, and difficulties in fitting clothes properly.

What Causes Sagging Abdominal Skin?
Several factors can contribute to the development of sagging abdominal skin, including:
- Ageing: Natural loss of collagen and elastin in the skin over time.
- Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can leave excess skin that has lost its ability to retract.
- Pregnancy: The skin stretches to accommodate the growing baby and may not fully retract postpartum.
- Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have less elastic skin.
Characteristics of Sagging Abdominal Skin:
- Loose Skin: Noticeable laxity and drooping of the skin around the abdomen.
- Wrinkles and Creases: The skin may have multiple folds and lines.
- Stretch Marks: Often accompanied by stretch marks due to skin stretching and then shrinking.
How Can You Treat Sagging Abdominal Skin?
There are various treatments available to tighten and rejuvenate sagging abdominal skin. Here is an overview of common treatments:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Morpheus 8: A combination of microneedling and radiofrequency to tighten the skin and improve its texture.
- Thermage: Utilises radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.
Surgical Treatments:
- Mini Abdominoplasty: A surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the lower abdominal area.
- BodyTite: Uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to contour and firm the abdominal skin.

The staff at the Clinic are all very helpful and professional. I am grateful to the team for spotting changes to a couple of moles since my previous mole mapping which I was advised to have removed. This was done very efficiently by Mr Jonathan Dunne. One of which was actually a melanoma in situ so I’m very lucky to have visited you!
Thank you
Thank you
I have now had two visits to the Montrose Mole Mapping clinic. Both were wonderful experiences and I recommend others visiting
The mole mapping service and the clinic as a whole has been incredible to work with! Super thorough but efficient process for identifying and monitoring moles over time, and it takes the constant guesswork away for someone who has many moles to keep track of. Very seamless process with my insurance provider as well. Would highly recommend Montrose!
Super helpful dr and receptionist - beautiful flowers too!
Incredible pregnancy-safe facial. I had the Hydra Facial and everything was explained throughly and it was extremely relaxing too. Highly recommend.
Quite a disappointing experience. I had booked a 30 minute appointment for 12:30 and had to ask the receptionist at 12:45 regarding the delay who’s assured me that the doctor would not be much longer. Proactivity from the receptionist would have been courteous. I was finally taken in by the doctor at 12:50 who was lovely.
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.

I highly recommend Montrose London. The friendliness of the staff is supreme. My dermatologist's professionalism is unbeatable - I really felt listened to. The ambiance of the office is very comfortable and relaxing. Number one in my eyes!
