Suggest Ways To Deal With Loose Skin After Weight Loss
Question: Is there any way to get rid of loose skin after weight loss--other than cosmetic procedure I cannot afford, that is? I worked very hard to lose the excess weight, but the skin is an embarrassment. My boyfriend said my body looks like a Sharpe dog. I feel so ugly, now.
Brief Answer:
There is no such way.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
No, there is no other than surgical way to get rid of this skin. It simply wont shrink no matter what you do with it. Please note that this skin has been like that for a long time. This has caused permanent effect which is not reversible.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
