How to Treat Saggy Skin After Weight Loss

You have finally done it--lost the excess weight that has been plaguing you for some time. However, you then notice that your skin is looking saggy in the areas that weight loss has occurred. Consider these methods to treat saggy skin after you have lost a significant amount of weight.

Instructions

• 1

  Start with cardio exercise. Continue to workout after you lose weight. You should be performing at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise three times a week or more.

• 2

  Mix in weight training with your cardio workouts. Use weight to firm up the areas that have the saggy skin. If you have saggy skin around your abdominals, perform sets of sit ups.

• 3

  Bulk up on protein. Protein can be used to build muscle. Add a protein shake or bar to your diet after you have worked out.

• 4

  Speak to a plastic surgeon. If exercise is not effective at removing the saggy skin, consult a plastic surgeon. Let her know how much skin you wish to have removed from your body.

• 5

  Undergo the recommended procedure. Most weight loss patients opt for a tummy tuck or a lift to treat the saggy skin that has appeared.
