Weight Loss and Loose Skin
from:We have all seen images of people on television who have lost enormous amount of weight only to be left with loose skin all over their bodies. Many people who lose a significant amount of weight are left with piles of loose skin and no way of dealing with it. This loose skin can be very unsightly and embarrassing, even as troublesome as the excess weight that the person once carried. If you are one of the people who have shed a large amount of weight and mass and you cannot afford plastic surgery, you could be left with loose skin for the rest of your life.
No amount or type of exercise will completely eliminate loose skin from your body. Tightening up skin and muscle can only bring you so far. The older you are the more difficult it is to get skin to go back into place after such a dramatic change in body shape. Over time, the skin loses its elasticity making it harder for it to bounce back into shape after being stretched.
It seems as though the only way to get rid of loose skin is to have it corrected with surgery. The procedure, depending on the area covered, will be lengthy and expensive. You will be left with scars where your skin is cut. Usually an area of skin is cut in a pear shape or teardrop shape and the excess skin is removed.
The two ends will be sown together later and the line where the two pieces of skin meet will become a scar.
Although these scars can be ugly, you will have to decide which you prefer - the appearance of the scars or the appearance of the loose skin. It is a difficult decision to make given the amount of recovery time and funds that would be involved but if this type of surgery would make you feel as though your physical transformation was complete, it could be worth it.
Be aware that you will have a great deal of scarring if you chose to undergo this type of plastic surgery. The areas where the loose skin once was will never look like they did when you were younger. The dramatic changes in weight that bring about large amounts of loose skin and the process that one would have to go through to lose the weight in the first place are traumatic to the body. You should give your body some time between the loss of the weight and the attack on the loose skin. A few months may be long enough for some of the skin to settle so that you will have a better idea of what you are dealing with before you make any plans for surgery.
