When you lose a significant amount of weight, oftentimes a lot of sagging, extra skin is left, where fat used to add volume beneath the skin. This stretched, inelastic skin won’t shrink and conform to your body contours. Usually the only way to eliminate it is with surgery. You deserve to feel great about your body after losing weight. Don’t let sagging skin make you feel disappointed after weight loss. Find out if you are a candidate for a procedure to reduce the extra skin.
