Is it possible to do something for my loose skin without surgery?

Maybe: It would depend on the amount, quality, and location of the loose skin. If your skin is loose from weight loss, or your have poor elasticity surgery is really probably the most effective solution. There are some skin tightening treatments that do not require surgery such as SkinTyte, Thermage, or Exilis that can have some benefit. Generally the effect is much much less that surgical removal.
