Doctors for How to Get Rid of Loose Skin After Losing Weight

First of all, it is important to know why the skin becomes loose after losing weight. The skin is made up of a protein called collagen and proteins like elastin fibers. These proteins tighten the skin and bring the skin back to its shape after stretching. When the skin is stretched for a long time, both collagen and elastin fibers get damaged.

On the other hand, after losing weight, there is a lack of essential proteins in the skin, due to which it is not able to return to its original shape. The firmness of the skin is lost and it becomes loose. After losing elastin and collagen, there is also a change in the formation of collagen in the skin. After losing weight, less collagen is left in the skin and its composition is different from young and healthy skin.
