I Lost 8 Stone over 9 Months Will my Loose Skin Slowly Tighten Naturaly? (photo)

Congratulations on your massive weight loss. What you have done with diet and exercise, is truly impressive  You should be very proud of yourself. Skin tightening after massive weight loss is multifactorial.  Skin tightening depends on your genetics, type of skin, age at which you lost weight, rapidity of your weight loss, and your maximum weight, among other things. The most important thing is that you lost all that weight. This will significantly improve your life and should extend your life expectancy. I would continue to diet and exercise conscientiously. Your age certainly is on your side for the ability of your skin to contract. The older you are the less recoil your skin has. This means as you age, the skin is less likely to bounce back and shrink wrap around you after massive weight loss. Hopefully you will not need any reconstructive plastic surgery after massive weight loss. However if your abdomen continues to upset you in approximately 8 to 12 months,  I would suggest either an abdominoplasty or a 360 body lift.  The abdominoplasty will remove excess skin in front of the central abdomen.  The 360 body lift will remove excess skin and fat abdomen, bilateral flanks, hips and buttocks. Good luck on your weight-loss journey and congratulations on your weight-loss achievement. Sincerely Dr. Katzen

   Youth can help with this aspect, but complete tightening is unlikely.   When you have finished losing weight and have been stable at that weight for 6 months, you can consider surgery.  Kenneth Hughes, MD male tummy tuck Los Angeles, CA
