A member asked:
If i am underweight, will my skin be looser than before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loose Skin: Usually not if you are young enough. Skin has elastic fibers (like a rubber band) and stretches and contracts with weight loss and or gain. However, this capacity diminishes with age and that is why our skin can become loose and saggy as we age.
