Loose Skin Question
TweetOk, so I am former fatty (like over 300 lbs and had a 44 inch waist) after shedding about a foot off my waist and the weight equivalent of a small adult, I was left with loose skin in the stomach area. That is really about the only area I still have trouble with. I am 32 years old, so I am assuming it will not all tighten up like it would if I were younger. Of course plastic surgery is an option (ok not really as I just don't want to do it) but I was wondering if anyone else had possible alternatives?? I've never used HGH, but I do know it offers added benefits such as improved conditions of skin, hair, and nails... Anyone have a thought on using HGH for aiding in skin tightening?? And just to be clear, the loose skin is not THAT bad, more annoying than anything.

Re: Loose Skin Question
TweetThanks for the replies. I try to do ab work and it seems to help. It's not bad just around the lower ab area. I really am lucky I've seen much worse cases. The wifey and I were discussing it last night. She had our girls 12 months apart so she never really recouped from the first one. She was curious as well.

Re: Loose Skin Question
TweetIt is depends on the skins elasticity. this happens to women a lot after kids and they do lots to help it but sometimes it does take surgery. My advice would be to exfoliate/brush the skin, in a clockwise circular motion along the tummy. Than apply a good lotion or I would recommend coconut oil.
here is something I know I have posted here before and this is also something I try to do daily and it does not have to take 15 minutes. You can do the whole body or just focus on the area you are asking about.

Re: Loose Skin Question
TweetThanks Baby! The wife is a big fan of coconut oil... Uses it for dry skin, even diaper rash with our babies. I somehow married a total hippie chick, so she really wants to stay away from surgery or anything not organic (not me! Haha) Don't think she has tried the dry brushing. I know I haven't so I'll have to give it a go. At this point I think we both will try about anything before having to go under the knife. Thanks for the info!
