Question 2

can loose skin on thighs tighten up with strength training exercises & cardio?

No: But you are young. If you dropped a large amount of fat, leaving skin stretched out, the skin may slowly shrink to accommodate to a slimmer body. Exercise is very good for you. I hope you keep it up.

Question 3

i have this bump on my inner thigh close to my vaginal area but it doesnt have pus that i know of, when i go to touch the bump it feels like loose skin. it doesnt hurt or anything unless my clothes or skin rubs against it could it be an std ?

Accepted Answer

STD: very unlikely, if I understand your question and history. Retesting and an exam by your doctor, could be reassuring.

Question 4

when i lose weight, what's the best way to tighten up the loose skin?

Accepted Answer

Lots of options: If you're lucky, your skin will contract as you lose weight.  If that doesn't happen the excess skin may need to be surgically removed.  This is a common procedure that removes the extra skin while trying to "hide" the resultant scars in inconspicuous locations.

can an obese person have a successful butt lift? i recently lost over 120 pounds, and i am considering having a butt lift procedure to tighten up the loose skin around my buttocks. i still have about 80 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. can i have t

Accepted Answer

For : For all body contouring surgery, it is ideal to get to your ideal weight first. This will give you the maximum result. As you know, your skin ends up loose like a rubberband that has been stretched out, and the more weight you lose, the looser it will be. If you lose the weight first, then the surgeon can make the area tighter.

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. It is likely that the connective tissue in this area is pretty stretched out and won't get it's bounce back. It is kind of like an elastic band. It is very stretchy initially. But if it becomes overly stretched out over a long period of time, it is likely to lose it's give. The best thing that i can suggest is to work on muscle tone in your arms, but that won't reduce batwings. Congratulations on your weight loss.
