skin going away
by sdaugh7261, Jun 15, 2007 12:00AM
Okay I'm a male age 19, 185 pounds, mild excersise.
my problem is i use to weight about 225 pounds and i managed to lose the weight, and i have alot of skin with a thin layer of fat under it, about 1/2 inch to an 1 inch, is there a way to lose fat fat without having to buy expensive supplements, and after i lose this extra fat what about the extra skin i still have. is there a way to lose it or tighten it without paying tons of cash?

Congratulations on your weight loss! As far as 'expensive supplements,' if such products really existed and worked (to remove the layer of extra fat you have), I would suggest that you invest in the company that produced them. You would become wealthy beyond your imagination and could easily afford them.
The extra skin you have could potentially be removed surgically, if appropriate, but you have to assess not only the costs of surgery, but the resulting scars involved. While some laser therapies claim to produce some skin shrinkage, their results are variable and unpredictable with often very limited results.
