Dealing with loose skin is a common issue amount dieters who successfully lose weight. However, many of the issues regarding skin flab stems from losing too much weight too fast resulting in the skin not having enough time to regain its elasticity.
As a rule of thumb, plastic surgeons always suggest that clients wait two years after some kind of drastic weight loss before entertaining the idea of plastic surgery to remove the excess skin. This allows the skin to go back to its original form in due time.
Before entertaining corrective loose skin surgery, please gain as much knowledge as you can about your skin (the biggest human organ), and excessive body fat percentages.

- To eliminate and prevent the droopy appearance of the remnants of excess body fat during and following weight loss, without resorting to surgical procedures, you must change your body composition, not just lose body weight. That means paying particular attention to the ratio of your body fat to muscle, or lean body mass. Preventing loss of lean body mass while dieting to lose body fat will dramatically improve your appearance.
- So, the answer to your question is, yes, anyone can non-surgically reduce skin folds of excess body fat, provided they follow the body composition and energy balance numbers until the job is done right…and if anyone else doubts you and tells you it can’t be done because they didn’t do it, ask to see their body composition and energy balance numbers. After they scratch their head, you can explain it all to them!

- Human skin is an extremely elastic organ, which means it can grow and shrink with you.
- Pinch the skin on the back of your hand and note the thickness of the fold. There’s practically no body fat there. Now pinch the skin on your belly or any other trouble area. Is the fold as thin as the one on the back of your hand? If not, then your problem isn’t loose skin, it’s excess body fat under the skin.
