Congrats: Great job losing the weight. If the skin doesn't tighten over time then you may require surgery to remove the loose skin. A consultation will help you to understand where the scars are placed and how they will look. Good luck.

Way to go!: Congrats on the weight loss! now you need to see a plastic surgeon to tighten the unsightly skin that your weight loss has left behind. There are multiple skin tightening procedures depending on which areas are bothering you.
