How can i tell if my loose skin is from losing too much weight too fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult answer: But usually time is the best test just as it is after pregnancy where we generally allow a minimum of 4-6 months and preferably 9-12 months to assess skin laxity and contraction.
