Is it possible to get rid of loose skin naturaly without surgery?

I've lost over 50 pounds in about 4 and half months and have a lot of loose skin, I started out at 216 and am down to 159, is it possible to get rid of the loose skin naturaly without surgery? I work out every night at home doing push ups and crunches, and was wondering if the loose skin would tighten up if I continue to do this routine

Congratulations on your weight loss!! But the loose skin depends on how big you were and how long you were that way, once the skin stretches, it looses its elasticity, but exercise can help take a little away, though not all of it
Reply:Nope don't think so a friend of mine her mom lost mega weight %26amp; she had 2 have surgery to get the excess skin gone.Good Luck
Reply:No unfortunately once the skin is stretched out you can't get it back into it's original shape. I had two boys and gained about 80 pounds with each. I got back to my normal weight after but the skin on my stomach didn't. I had to have surgery. I did diet and exercise like crazy before to no avail.
Reply:.......DUCT TAPE....other than that........ surgery, see your Doctor
Reply:depends where the loose skin is more than likely you'll need surgery
Reply:i don't think it will all go away. but i would like to know how you lost all that weight in that time. i just had a baby and my tummy is all flabby from being stretched but i still got the weight i put on
Reply:I'm so sorry to break it down to you, but at this point you won't be able to get rid of that excess skin. Skin looses it's elasticity when it's streched too far, so it won't shrink back; specially when you loose weight too fast (like you, 50lb in 4 months).





I know many indivuduals that have undergone WLS (bariatric surgery) and have done the body contouring surgeries and they're all very happy with the results. Let me know and I'll send you more info...





Good luck!
Reply:Unfortunately I dont think so just because you lost 50 lbs in four months. They say the slower you loose weight the less drastic change your body has. Also once the skin is streched no matter how skinny you get, the strectmarks and loose skin will be there. But anyhow congrats on your weight lost and keep it up.
