Will my stretched skin tighten on its own or will I need surgery, following weight loss? (photo)

February 22, 2014

I am 19 years old, I am 5'10 and weigh 140 lbs. I have lost over 70 pounds over the course of 2 years, but I still have a fair amount off loose skin on my lower stomach. There are a bunch of little wrinkles on my lower stomach that kind of follow the path of my stretch marks. Will this tighten in time, or will have to pursue cosmetic solutions?
