Fat Burning Questions - Weight Loss & Skin Elasticity

fitness-advice Question:
I want to know about my skin elasticity. I am 18 years old and 5'7 tall. I went from 275 lbs to 185 lbs in 9 months. I have only been over weight for about 4 years will my skin return back to normal?

 

fitness-advice Answer:
First off, congratulations on the successful weight loss! In terms of your loose skin, since your young it will be much easier for your skin to snap-back into a tighter state. Give your skin time, since it will get tighter as your body fat gets lower. There are many cases where the skin gradually tightened up, at least partially, after a one or two year period where the weight loss was maintained and exercise continued. If your considering skin removal, make sure to consult with a physician for their advice. Surgery should be left as the absolute final option to reduce excess skin.
