What helps loose skin tighten up after wieght loss?

I have lost 30 pounds in the last three months and have a loose skin problem on my stomach,upper arms and upper thighs. I am working towards loseing another 50 or so pounds. Is surgery the only answer or are there lotions or creams that would help me?

Skin is not fat. Skin develops and envelops the fat. It grows as one's fat grows. However, it does not "shrink" as one loses weight, especially to the degree you have lost. Toning surrounding muscles is a great way to enhance your appearance, but all the people I have heard of required/chosen surgery to remove the extra skin.





There is no harm in waiting a year or two to see how things progress, but that may be your most effective option.


Good Luck!
Reply:I think that surgery is the only way if you have excess skin.
Reply:Some lotions can work a little. The best thing to do, though, is tone the muscle under the skin. Do 2-3 sets of reps with a lighter weight (whatever makes your muscles tired after about 15 reps) about 3 times a week or so. I had the same problem but when I started toning muscle and not just losing fat, my skin firmed back up.
