Will i get saggy skin if i lose too much weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on how much you weigh and where you carry your weight. In my experience, if you have greater than 50% body fat, you are more likely to have this problem and if you have less than 35% body fat you are less likely to have this problem. See a weight loss specialist for a body composition analysis.
