Extra skin from weight loss, how do you get rid of it?

You can't get rid of skin without surgery. Once it's stretched out, it only pulls back to a certain extent. Skin tightening treatments help only minimally.\n\nAnd congrats if you've lost weight! Good for you

HA! I thought you were talking about the ones inside the turkey along with the giblets....DUH! \n\nAnyway, I do some exercises that I read about in Cosmopolitan, and they have worked wonders. One thing you can do is stretch your neck as far out and upward as you can. Repeat this whenever you think about it. Also, another good one (and this helps to prevent your facial cheeks from sagging is to silently mouth the letters A-E-I-O-U, making sure that you stretch your mouth like you are really annunciating each letter. It's best to do this in private, because you won't get funny looks from your kids or others!! LOL!) These simple exercises really do work, and make you look much younger if you do them faithfully! Luckily, my neck didn't show it very bad when I lost weight, because I started doing these exercises about 10 years ago. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity, and is much harder to tone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the loose tummy skin. Do you have any ideas?????? Good luck with the neck exercises, though! :)

You can run your butt off. Try a fat burner. Or you can eat a butt load of protein and start lifting, it will take a long time but muscle will start filling out the skin, but the skin will also shrink.Congrats on losing the weight too!!!

Drink lots and lots of water...stop drinking sodas. The carbonation gives you cellulite. \nThe water will flush the fat cells and make you look smoother over time. It may not go away completely, but you will notice a difference with the water therapy and no carbonated soda. \n\nKeep on exercising! Good luck.

If the skin has lost its elasticity, there is really no way for you to get it back on your own.  One option is cosmetic surgery.

Seriously, cut off some arms and/or legs.It is truly the quickest,most effective way. Also, it's easy to keep the weight off. :)  Good Luck

The suggestions from leviballen will probably work if you need to lose FAT from your belly area.   Probably more sensible is a simple, no pils, healthy eating and exercise program.  The only way to lose FAT from your belly area is to lose body fat overalll.  AS much as we woud like it to be differnt there is no easy fix to losing belly FAT and there is no such thing as spot reduction.  It doesn't work.\n\nHOwever, you didn't say you had FAT to lose in your belly area.  You indicate that your problem is loose skin, which is a whole different problem from belly fat.  If your problem is loose skin I am sorry to say the only solution is surgery.  There is no other way to get rid of loose belly skin.  The skin has stretched and lost its elasticity and it will not shrink back, no matter how much exercise or dieting you do, no matter how many Total Lean packs you buy.  \n\nAlso, you didn't indicate you had stretch marks, though suggestions have been made for those.  There are many products on the market that claim to get rid of stretch marks.  Stretch marks are permanent because they are caused by the thinning and breaking down of the layer of skin that has the collagen and elastin -the stuff that makes our skin elastic.  NOthing can fix this, no creams or pills.  However, the marks fade and get smaller and less obvvious all on their own over time, though the skin can never completely return to normal.  In the early stages some stretch marks do seem to be able to be treated by lasers which help get rid of the red color and may help with making things look better.  A cream called tretinoin has  been reported to be successful in some studies, but not in others, and reputable doctors all over the world indicate that there is no way to get rid of stretch marks.  YOu will find lots of sites that want to sell you stuff, but BEWARE.\n\nMy advice would be to be careful and don't spend your money on stuff that doesn't work.  Actually the greatest factor in determining whether you have stretch marks is your genes.  Some people get them, some don't.  If you do have stretch marks think of them as signs that your body has produced something wonderful, two new lives.\n\nGood luck and take care.

Sounds like cellulite to me.  If so, jumping rope will get rid of that faster.

stretch marks are from your skin being stretched and then losing weight so as not to stretch anymore, skin is elastic but can only go so far. get some coconut butter and use it every day it may not get rid of them but it should prevent more appearing

Exfoliate and moisturize.  \n\nExfoliating removes the dead skin cells on the surface.  Also drink lots of water.

Work out.And while showering,use the scrub glove (to "destroy" the first cells,on the skin).Go to the pharmacy and then ask for some advice.I also recommend you buy Good bye cellulite from Nivea.I personaly don't have the problem,but my friend told me that Nivea cream is good for geting rid of celllite,and perveting it.So,good luck!

Well done, Nathan!\n\nI don't know what you can do, apart from having surgery to get rid of the excess flesh.  You are young, and the problem might right itself, but if you lose a lot of weight there will be too much flesh left.\n\nHowever, you're great for having done something about it!\n\nGood luck.

Loose skin can be a sign of weight loss, but it also occurs when you lose muscle tone.  If you have worked out or been involved in a regular athletic program and them stop it you can lose muscle tone.
