When i lose weight, what's the best way to tighten up the loose skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of options: If you're lucky, your skin will contract as you lose weight. If that doesn't happen the excess skin may need to be surgically removed. This is a common procedure that removes the extra skin while trying to "hide" the resultant scars in inconspicuous locations.
