Can you tighten loose skin naturally?
I think so! There are some circumstances, of course, where someone could be left with a large amount of loose skin that will shrink, but very, very slowly. What Causes This? Anyone who undergoes weight loss surgery or loses weight quickly on a fad diet will find their skin to appear saggy. The cause of this is one of two things, the first is that the person lost not only fat, but muscle tissue leaving the skin with little to hold on to. The second reason there appears to be excess skin is that body fat is trapped under the skin.
Most plastic surgeons will tell anyone that sagging skin can never shrink.
This is a myth! If someone lost weight without exercising or still has body fat to lose, the skin can shrink. It is important to lose body fat and replace fat with muscle while losing weight. If you are slightly overweight and lose less than 200 pounds, your skin is likely to shrink. The skin is an organ that has the ability to expand and contract thanks to collagen. Collagen breaks down over time and with age, but those who lose a lot of weight are generally not older than 60 or 70, unless for medical reasons.
What can you do about your sagging skin?
Power train! You may still have body fat to burn, but starting an exercise and strength training program is important. Following a slow carb diet is important because your body needs real food to gain muscle. Even if you are a woman, don’t be afraid to gain muscle, this will give you the sleek and flawless look you’ve always dreamed of. The muscle will give you curves and a feminine shape.
