Will i get loose skin after extreme weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extreme weight loss.: Loose skin is likely and much more likely if you lose weight too quickly. Please aim for 1/2 to 1 pound a week - 25-50 lbs a year. It is nice to lose weight quickly but not if it leaves you with loose skin.
