A member asked:
Hi docs, would my skin sag after weightloss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the weight loss is tremendous and the skin has been stretched out, it is possible that the skin will sag. Normally the skin retracts back as it has elasticity. However, elasticity is dependent on the amount of collagen in the skin. Collagen and elasticity decrease with age.
