Losing weight can be a huge accomplishment—but sometimes, the skin doesn't quite “bounce back” with the weight loss.
When skin has been stretched for an extended period of time, it can lose some of its elasticity. Factors like age, genetics, how much weight was lost, and how long the skin was stretched can all play a role.
That can leave some patients with loose or excess skin around the abdomen, arms, breasts, thighs, or other areas.
If you've reached a stable weight but are still dealing with excess skin, plastic surgery may be an option to consider.
Your weight-loss journey may be complete. Your next chapter can be about feeling confident in your results.
