Loose skin after weight loss?

How can I lose this extra skin I have around my stomach and "pouch"? Is there even a way to get rid of it? I lost lots of weight over the past few yrs, and specifically recently lost 20 lbs (went from 130 in July to 110 now) so was wondering how to get rid of it.

getting rid of this sagging skin would take lots of hard work and patience, some friend went to see adoctor take care of it by surgery, others did exercise .
Reply:livin_doll hit it on the nail. You can't always rid yourself of excess skin by exercise. You may need to have it surgically removed.
Reply:I heard that it goes away by itself over time, sort of be absorbed by the body. Exercise probably helps. The last resort for me would be a plastic surgeon to remove it and hope I didn't gain the weight back and need it again.haha
Reply:Well first off, congrats!! Second, there is no way to get rid of skin other than getting it surgically removed. Because you have so much skin means you lost weight in rapid succession.


So make an appointment with a plastic surgeon and they could better tell you than me.


Congratulations on your weight loss!
