body lift

[Nelly]

If a person get's a body lift after they've lost a tone of weight to get rid of the loose skin...is it possible for them to stretch their skin out again and get fat again?

[madscientist]

Yup! They totally can. Skin is highly elastic organ and it can always stretch back out. So, if you don't want to throw all the money you spent down the drain for your body lift and go through the horror of having to lose weight again, you're really going to want to make a concerted effort to keep the weight off!

It's true, they can get fat again. Skin streteches, no matter how it might look or feel. That's why it's so important that if you are going to work hard to lose weight and spend a lot of money to get off that extra skin you're lugging around, you don't want to waste that effort by putting on the weight again.

Yes. It's possible. Personally, I think that would be one of the most horrifying things...I mean, imagining all the hard work it took to get the weight off, the pain and recovery of getting a body lift and then you just gain it all back....ugh.

Yeah, that would be awful! You should also know that even if you get a body lift, you shouldn't expect your body to look amazing. You will have scars and your skin likely won't look quite like it used to. This isn't a bad thing, because seriously what's most important is that you don't have all that excess skin, but it is still good to be realistic and prepared when it comes to the expectations of these procedures.
