How do i tighten loose abdominal skin after losing weight?

Give it time: Much of the excess skin will resorb by itself, just as a pregnant woman's skin resorbs after she delivers the baby. If there is still loose skin after that, you will need to see a plastic surgeon.

Loose skin: There are several ways including plastic surgery to remove excess skin or an nonsurgical treatment called thermage.
