When losing weight does the skin ever become normal again?

[Anonymous]

I'm currently in the process of losing weight from 260 lbs to a target weight set by my physician at about 190 lbs, I'm 6'4".

I'm currently at 225 lbs and have no issues with my skin going back besides around the stomach / hip area. The breast 2 chest arear is going back nicely and since I've built up a lot of muscle my pecks will cover up the rest nicely.

My question is will the skin on the stomach / hip section ever go back to normal it seems quite a bit stretched and a bit saggy and if I lose all the weight there will be excessive skin, or will it go back as the pounds drop?

Honestly it's case by case. There is no "likelihood" or anything because some people's skin is more elastic than others and while you can in quite a few cases I'd dare not say YOU specifically can. Stretch marks and stretched skin also generally stays that way for a long time so even if it does eventually go back much like any other gains in the body it will shrink up quick and then slow down and seem like it's stuck.

It can, if you use body building techniques to reduce your body fat per cent.

No unfortunately it does not return to the original state. Life and weight loss can be so cruel :(

It can go back to normal as long as u steadily lose weight at a slow pace
