Alternative Solutions?

I'm not in the position to be able to have plastic surgery but I wanted to see if anybody happen to have any tips or tricks when it comes to caring for your body after surgery. I want to try to get the best elasticity out of my skin – I'm not as young as I used to be but I'm not that old either. 31 going on 32. Like different lotions and things like that but I just thought I would put it out there and see if anybody had any suggestions. So far, I've noticed wrinkling when he comes to my skin – where I've lost weight… I just thought maybe we could share ideas and while it may not get us to where we want to be completely, it could be a resource for those of us that can't afford plastic surgery.

No cream or lotion shrinks your skin. Your own body, genetics, age, amount of weight lost etc all determine that. I do think that general good health, working out, building up muscle tone, drinking Water, getting good nutrtion help you get the very best results possible. Spanx and other Shapewear really solve much of the how you look in form fitting clothes too.

It is a myth that losing weight fast causes hanging skin. The extra skin came from obesity, it just becomes noticable as the weight comes off.

Well I know that nothing will specifically help and there's no immediate results but, I am still send Maya – 31, soon-to-be 32, and I'm sure I don't have the level of elasticity my skin that I used to have. I'm just trying to help my body along by using emotions and Vitamin E oil to help my skin along a bit. There's no quick fixes but, there are alternative things it could possibly help boost the collagen and your skin. I was just hoping to get tape gone if someone else had a regimen that they did.

I have heard from a lot of people that if u wear a binder or garment like the one you would wear after plastic surgery that it can definitely help. The only catch is you have to wear it 23 hours out of the day and for 3 to 6 months. I have not tried this, however I work in a salon where all these girls I work with did this and their bodies are amazing!!

I have looked at thermage. Google it and you tube it. I believe it is costly but for folks that do not want surgery or who have a lesser problem it would most likely help. I will do it when the time comes.

The instrument cools the surface of the skin and then heats the lower layers.

This causes the collagen to shrink, become thick and shorter strands, smoothing out the skin and lessening sag and wrinkles.

You tube have some great videos on it.
