How to avoid getting excess skin after weightloss surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to prevent: As you age, your skins ability to form back to your new body is impaired. If the redundant skin becomes an issue surgeons can remove it. The good news is, you lost a lot of weight and are undoubtedly more healthy for it. Good job.
