Sagging skin? Need advice



Recommended Posts

I am having surgery late February. I am 60 years old 4'10 and weigh 265. I am worried that I'm going to look like a dripping candle! Has anyone had a similar situation? I guess those "youngsters" probably have more elastic skin.

Same here. I'm already sagging and only down 50. But I'm in some size 14s. I'm ok with the sagging. Good luck.

I am sagging all over too. But I am noticing the more time goes on that it doesnt look that bad. No where near as bad as being fat and unhealthy, I mean I wont ever wear a bikini but the clothes I am wearing look damn good. Im giving it another year to see where everything ends up and then I will make the decision on what I want to nip tuck and lift. Im 45.

The sagging skin scares the bejeezus out of me. But I keep trying to concentrate on how much healthier and thinner I'll be, and all the things I'll be able to do that I can't do now. It's worth it.

I'm down 75 pounds and getting saggy skin I'm 27 and have always had problems with my skin not being elastic have the stretch marks to prove it. I figured I would rather have saggy skin then having the fat that filled it. When I'm older and after having all my kids will think about plastic surgery.

Remember to Exercise!! It will help out a lil cuz you r building up the Muscles!! And it won't look as bad!! And if you have Cosmetic Surgery you will have better definition, and your results will be better!! Just a thought!! Also cuz we r losing weight so past we will sag!! :(

this goes hand and hand with this kind Surgery unfortunately!!

You can moisturize, exercise, and hydrate all day long but if your skin has already stretched past its point of no return then it will sag. True you should exercise hydrate and moisturize but they aren't a cure for sagging. It's almost inevitable. I've got sagging in arms belly inner thighs and butt. But being a healthy weight and actually being healthy are very worth it!!!
