Will loose skin be an issue?

I have been put on a program by my doctor to lose 50 pounds by about the end of March.





I heard losing a large amount of weight tends to leave people with loose skin. Will I probably get it?





I am 14 years old and male, if that matters.

Will loose skin be an issue?
being as your body is still growing and developing there should not be a problem -- in time any loose skin will tighten





as I teenager I did alot of yo-yo dieting loosing and gaining mass amounts of weight and I did not have any problems with loose skin until just recently when I wised up and stopped yo-yoing





good luck on your journey
Reply:Hmmm - any time you're losing a dramatic amount of weight you risk getting loose skin. BUT since you're so young, your skin still has plenty of elasticity. Just be sure to exercise along w/ dieting.
Reply:No, loose skin should not be an issue for you. You are very young, so your skin is still very elastic. The issue of loose skin is generally for older adults, people who have been severely overweight for many years, or those who are morbidly obese, and those who loose weight too quickly.





Make sure you drink lots of water while you diet, it will help aid weight loss, improve your overall appearance, and keep your skin elasticity for years to come.





Good Luck.
