A member asked:
Is it possible to have extra loose skin with restrictive/anorexic eating patterns and if so would the weight threshold prevent someone for treatment until the skins removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It really depends on what the weight was to begin with when determining whether or not weight loss will result in loose skin. It is not a healthy way to diet-anorexic eating pattern. Loose skin will occur if weight loss occurs in someone who is significantly overweight. If weight loss is needed, see your doctor and perhaps a nutritionist to determine the best diet to follow for healthy weight loss
