We are all aware that many people strive to have the perfect figure, but what happens to their skin when they lose a lot of weight, and how can they reach their desired appearance?
Our bodies have an amazing ability to adapt to such drastic changes, but sometimes it takes a while to catch up on weight loss. If a person loses a significant amount of weight quickly, he may still have some stubborn loose skin. While this is normal, it can seriously affect how he perceives his progress and may cause him to continue to feel dissatisfied with his appearance despite significant weight loss. This situation happened to a man who managed to lose 100 kg of weight, hoping to achieve his dream of getting a perfect weight and getting rid of obesity-accompanying diseases. Indeed, his weight decreased to what he dreamed of, and he became one of the heroes that beat obesity, but obesity left him with a lot of sagging, especially in the abdomen and chest area; Those flaws prevented him from enjoying the incredible result and healthy weight he had achieved. So our hero headed to Dr. Mina Mamdouh, a specialist in plastic surgery, sculpting, and body shaping, to help him get rid of the sagging skin that has become his only obstacle in reaching a tight body.
Causes of sagging skin:
Our skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells. Cells on the outer surface of the skin are lost and replaced every day, but when we lose weight, our skin is affected by reducing the fat that keeps the skin tight. This temporarily weakens skin elasticity, so that the skin after weight loss looks saggy.
Factors affecting the degree of sagging after weight loss:
The appearance of sagging skin after weight loss depends on several different factors, the most important of which are the following:
Smoking:
Smoking damages existing collagen and reduces the production of more collagen. Therefore, smoking contributes to sagging skin in general, and sagging increases after losing weight.
Excessive sun exposure:
Excessive sun exposure causes lower levels of collagen and elastin production; which makes the skin less elastic, especially after losing weight.
Duration of obesity:
The longer the accumulated fat has been present, the more saggy the skin will become after losing weight.
The amount of weight lost:
More loose skin can develop after losing 100 kilograms than after losing less weight.
The age:
Aging exposes collagen fibers to a gradual loss and breakdown, resulting in thin and weak skin.
Getting a tight body after losing 100 kilos of weight:
The surgery was completed successfully with Dr. Mina Mamdouh, a specialist in plastic surgery, sculpting, and body shaping, as our hero received general anesthesia; which kept him asleep without feeling pain during the procedure.
Dr. Mina Mamdouh removed excess skin from the chest and abdomen. This helped our hero acquire a slim body after his obesity treatment journey, and the picture shows the vast difference between his appearance before and after the tummy tuck and chest tightening. The recovery period passed safely through his implementation of Dr. Mina Mamdouh’s advice and instructions and his follow-up of the situation after the surgery to ensure the patient’s complete comfort and ensure that he obtains the best results.
