My goal is to lose 50 lbs, but I am afraid of having saggy skin after losing so much weight, I’ve seen people who lose 50+ pounds get saggy skin around their belly, and also loose skin around their upper arms, legs. That’s really ugly. I don’t wanna get that saggy looking skin. Do you think I will have saggy skin if I lose the excess 50 lbs of body weight? Anything I can do to avoid getting saggy skin?
Usually, if you lose weight steadily, you won’t get hanging skin. But if you lose weight very fast, it may cause loose skin. When you lose fat too fast, you lose body fat and muscle that are underneath the skin, but the skin cant bounce back instantly, this make your skin loose. However, most of the time, the skin will shrink back, but you should give it time. And I think age is another factor that cause saggy skin after weight loss.
