  1. It depends on the type of skin, age, the number of pounds lost and the speed of weight loss. If we are talking about large volumes (30 or more kilos), and the age of a person is also over 30, then the probability that the skin with subcutaneous fat will remain hanging and will not go away increases significantly. It will partially decrease, but no more. And no amount of physical exercise will help. Unfortunately.

  2. Depends on the speed of weight loss. At a rate of 2% of weight per month and physical activity, sagging is insignificant and is treated with strength loads with an increase in muscle mass. During my coaching practice, people lost 20, 40 and even 50 kg in a year and there were no problems with the skin.

  3. Yes, the most realistic way to tighten the skin then is only an operation, no other methods will work if the skin hangs with an apron. It doesn't matter whether you lose weight quickly or slowly, whether there will be sports – if you lose a large number of kilos, then alas, the skin will not be able to “pull” back, it has its own limit of elasticity.

  4. Yes. The degree of sagging depends on the number of pounds lost, the speed of weight loss and age. The amount of “extra” skin depends directly on the amount, the speed and age — how it will have time to recover. Age here is important in terms of collagen production and the rate of regenerative processes. For people who have lost a lot of weight, there is a skin resection operation: circumcision and lifting.

  5. If weight loss is carried out with the help of physical activity and proper nutrition, then the excess weight is converted into sweat. It does not remain hanging, and if you lose weight only from the fact that you do not eat anything, then yes, the skin will not hang down much..
