    Loose skin repair

    Is it possible to any "real" degree without surgery? When I say loose skin, I mean real loose skin from extreme weight loss anywhere on the body from the bangle wing area or the gut.

    From what I know and understand there really is no "real" solution. I already know of all the typical such as keep the skin moist and drink a shit ton of water.


    Never really seen the topic brought up on here, but thought it was worth discussing. I just don't think there is any way other than surgery.

    I had loose skin in tummy after dropping 40 lbs. I was surprised that I recovered. But took about a year to see the change. I couldn't find a ps that would recommend a tommy tuck cuz I didn't have enuff loose skin. Maybe suggest waiting a bit to see what dealing with if.

    The younger the person the more chance but extreme weight loss it's unlikely. Unless there is extreme weight gain that'll tighten it right back up

    Yeah, no weight gain to fill it back in.


    But, it is what I figured only time will tell. Damn skin, one thing that's kind of our control.

    This question was not about me. I have been blessed with some real good skin elasticity. Even when I dropped 50 pounds within 2 months, I got no stretch marks or sag. But, I am not looking to push this again.

    Lucky you sir. I was delighted when my right pec skin didn't sag after recent surgery, always a bonus.

    Good luck to whoever it is!

    I know it, I was bit scared of bad sag after my last retarded bulk.


    It is what it is though. That's why plastic surgery is so damn common now.

    It depends on how loose the skin/how old the person is.
    Laser treatments can help pull the skin 'back up' where it used to be, and offer some tightening, but cannot actually shrink the skin's size.
