Excess Skin After Weight Loss

After someone loses a significant amount of weight like fifty to a hundred pounds or more, a new problem arises. You now feel better and you can finally fit into those jeans you haven't had on since college, but now excess skin is hanging...everywhere! We are seeing more of this every day as weight loss surgeries become more popular, along with diet and exercise. Some amount of excess skin will 'pull back' and look acceptable automatically after a massive weight loss. However, a large amount of extra skin such as that on the abdomen, arms and neck can only be improved with surgery.
