Hi All, I have a few questions about my loose skin. I am older 54 I've lost 50lbs so far 4 months out and would like to lose another 20-25kbs. Anyway one of my questions is how long does it take for whatever may snap back to snap up as much as its going to snap back? Would wearing compression wear help at all? I could live with my bat wings if the skin wasn't so crinkly Even my knees and thighs have wrinkles will that ever even out?

Hi Lunarose, the consensus seems to be when people have posted on this previously is that the skin will do what it'll do and you can't do much about it. You can try and tone up which may help a little, but that's it really. HTH.

Hi, I figured that but what is the time frame when will it get as good as it will be? Months or am I already there?

Sorry I don't know about that. When I've lost weight in the past (same starting point as this time and I got 40lbs down) it wasn't much of a problem for me (I'm hoping to get down lower this time tho).

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
