Why you still look “fat” – even after losing weight

“I lost the weight. Why don’t I look toned?”

It’s one of the most common frustrations doctors hear after weight loss or GLP-1 use. The number on the scale drops, yet the mirror still reflects softness, puffiness, or sagging.

Weight loss doesn’t always equal body definition – especially if it happened fast, or without muscle preservation.

The reason? Residual fat, stretched skin, and reduced muscle tone.

The post-GLP-1 problem: skinny fat, sagging, and sunken faces

GLP-1 medications are effective for weight loss – but they often deplete both fat and muscle.

This can leave the body appearing smaller but looser, and the face looking hollow.

SW1 doctors call this the “flat but puffy” effect – the body loses mass, yet definition fades. The good news? It’s reversible with targeted treatments that restore firmness and contour.

Why you still look “fat”: it’s not just fat

Even after losing weight, three key issues remain:

• Residual fat pockets that don’t respond to diet (chin, tummy, flanks)
• Stretched skin that conceals muscle tone
• Weakened muscle fibres that reduce firmness and shape

To look truly sculpted, all three layers (skin, fat, and muscle) need attention.

The solution: Onda Body Pro and MMS at SW1

Onda Body Pro

One of the most advanced technologies in body sculpting in Singapore, Onda Body Pro treats all three layers of concern simultaneously:

• Skin: tightens by stimulating collagen and elastin
• Fat: melts stubborn pockets using Coolwaves™ energy
• Muscle: improves tone and smoothness through deep thermal action

This makes it ideal for loose skin after GLP-1, or uneven fat distribution after rapid weight loss.

MMS (Magnetic Muscle Sculptor)

If you’ve lost weight without strength training, MMS helps rebuild what’s missing: muscle tone.

It delivers thousands of contractions per session, creating visible firmness and better shape – no gym required.

What treatment combo do you need?

Every post-weight-loss body is different – that’s why doctor-led mapping matters.

Concern	Recommended Combo	Result
Flat but saggy body	Onda Body Pro + MMS	Tightens skin, rebuilds tone
Sunken face	Ultherapy Prime + Bio-Remodeller (Youth Preserve*)	Restores lift and hydration
Puffy jawline or chin	V-Line Precision Lift + Jaw Botulinum toxin	Refines lower-face contour

Final words

“Losing weight is one part of the glow-up. Reshaping and restoring structure is the next.” – Dr Low Chai Ling from SW1

When done right, post-weight-loss sculpting doesn’t change who you are – it simply lets your results show.

Let the scale tell one story. Let the mirror tell a better one.
