Excess Skin fears!

[ElfiePoo 109]

I once came across this article, it made 300% sense to me, I strongly believe in his theory and I'm planning to see if what he says would work.

I managed to read about half the page and then had to quit because what he's saying just isn't supported by known facts.

As so many have already said, there are many factors that play into whether or not you'll have excess skin: age, genetics, how overweight you were *and* how long you've been overweight, etc.

The men and women in my family tend to look much younger than they really are as they age...just good genetics. My grandmother looked 70 when she was 94. My mom is 72 and looks like she's in her 50's. I'm in my mid-50's and as I age, the disparity between my actual age and my true age becomes greater.

At 47 I took off 70 pounds. Yes, I lost some of the sagging skin (again good genetics), but not most of it. I can tell from losing 35 pounds over the last 10 months that the sagging skin I have now will need surgical help. It's really bad...and that's from being seriously overweight for 40 years and stretching my poor skin up to 330 pounds.

No amount of toning is going to help the several inches of sagging skin on my arms or belly.

This is just kind a random comment but I am a nurse practitioner in dermatology and there are a couple of things that can help with trouble spots and stretch marks. The VelaShape can work wonders for those little areas that do not seem to want to get tone, and fractional resurfacing lasers can minimize stretchmarks. Both are expensive, but are less costly and less invasive than surgery!
