I am losing weight, but how can i avoid keeping all the excess skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may or may not: Be possible. The older you are the more you are apt to have this problem due to lack of elasticity of skin. Lose at a slow rate and stay physically active. Surgery is an option if excess skin is really significant. Take care.
