Exercise for muscle toning
Loose skin is a typical byproduct of rapid weight loss. Just as your skin stretches as you gain weight (and results in stretch marks), your skin also tightens after you lose weight. However, the speed at which your skin can tighten is limited. This is generally determined by genetics, as some people have more elastic skin than others. When losing weight rapidly, fat cells are shrinking much faster than the skin can tighten, thus, loose skin.
Not everyone is equally susceptible to loose skin after bariatric surgery. Factors include age, amount of weight lost, and natural tendency to elastic skin.
Improve muscle tone through resistance training. It’s actually a great way to fill in some of the gaps left by excess skin. Exercises such as bicep curls, squats, and abdominal exercises can help improve muscle tone and fill in loose skin.
Surgery to remove loose skin? Excess skin may seem really bad at first, but give it some time. Your skin will tighten up naturally, and this tightening is a perfectly natural process. Give it at least 12 months before considering surgical options for removing excess skin.
