Can you tell me how to prevent loose skin during weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: The best way to try to prevent loose skin is to maintain a good healthy diet and proper exercise program. However, Loose skin can still form depending upon the amount of weight lost. Depending on how much the skin had been stretched previously, it can only recover so much.
