Question 3

i'm 23, 5'5,160lbs, how to tighten a post pregnancy pouch and lose 25lbs quickly?  im scared that just losing weight will cause loose skin..

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding to use: Use breastfeeding to burn up stored calories. One can get her pre-pregnancy weight back, and work out with weights to get in great shape again, but cannot truly get her "pre-pregnancy" body back. That is because a pre-pregnancy body is a different stage in a woman's life than a post-pregnancy body. Also, one's age is older, and some NORMAL permanent changes have occurred after a having a baby.

what is cause of loose skin around eyelids?

Loss of volume: Loss of volume in terms of fat and bone are the main culprits of the loose skin around the eyes. People who have gone though great fluctuations in weight, extra skin nay actually be the product of stretched out skin. In people who have been at the same weight most of their life it is the loss of fat and bone, but mostly fat. That is why fat transfer, which I have been performing for 19 years is.
