A member asked:
Will you have hanging skin if you lose 30 pound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Skin can reconstruct it self from weight loss (consider a pregnant women whose large belly can revert to normal after delivery). But this is also age related and the older you are, the less reconstitution is possible and it also depends on the total weight.
