This circumstance occurs almost exclusively in previously obese subjects of a high degree; it should not, on the other hand, characterize those who have been modestly overweight.
It goes without saying that, just like for other imperfections (for example stretch marks), the phenomenon of excess skin also depends very much on individual characteristics - with reference to skin elasticity.
Attention! To be fair - but without wanting to discourage our kind readers - we would like to point out right away that although it is possible to obtain good results, it is not always possible to completely solve the problem of loose skin.
Below, therefore, we will try to better understand how to prevent excess skin and "if", "how" and "how much" it is possible to intervene to improve it.
