Is there anyone here who has lot more than 20 lbs and especially have lost a lot of tummy fat.? I would like to know what happpens to the extra skin in the tummy area.?
Do you have to get some kind of cosmetic surgery to remove it or alongwith the fat-loss the skin also starts getting tigher.?.?

I've started exercise routine recently and want to lose belly fat that i've gained during my pregnancies. But i'm kind of scared that my tummy will look worse due to the loose hanging skin :(Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Extra skin will not shrink. While some have very elastic skin that will look tight after weight loss, if you DO end up with extra skin, it will never go away on its own. Surgery will be the only means of removing it. That's why the tummy tuck is so popular--many women have extra skin there after giving birth. The older you are, the more elasticity you lose, and it varies from person to person. But with only 20 pounds to lose, I doubt you'll have any problem with extra skin. It's more like with 50 pound plus losses that you start to see issues.Health Question & Answer

I was pretty overweight before and lost it. Because of my age, the skin didn't go back. It just hung there, like flab. It was actually gross.

You can try massaging the skin with cream to help keep it elastic, or you'll have to get a tuck. A tummy tuck is basically a cosmetic surgical procedure that cuts away the excess flesh, fat and can even tighten the stomach muscles. It's expensive, though, and quite painful in the recovery from what i've heard. This site has pictures of people who's had it done, and info.

Some actually look pretty good, but others are kind of scary looking with the scars.Health Question & Answer

depends on how you loose it

I suggest you do a lot of cardio and have a good balance diet - starving yourself or skipping meals is not one of them

anyways, if you just diet and loose it to fat you don't give your body enough time to shrink the skin and you willl have a lot of skin hanging down .. however if you loose them the right way all that skin will shrink ..Health Question & Answer

Targetted weight loss is quite hard, many people would say impossible, nevertheless the only method which really delivered for me is wu-yi tea, it can be checked out in the resource box below, they have a handful of free trials remaining, it was featured in Reader's Digest and CNN. I lost twenty five pounds, it really does produce results!Health Question & Answer

well, it depends on how stretchy your skin is.... if you have lots of stretch marks, you will probably have some hanging skin. Do some exercises that will build muscle in the tummy area, that might help. I'm not sure. Otherwise you might want to look into cosmetic surgery to have a tummy tuck....Health Question & Answer

I had a surplus of fat in all the wrong areas until I tried acai berry, I know they say that pills won't work, but they sure worked for me, and they have been showcased on CNN too.
