One of the best feelings you can experience is the joy of achieving your ideal weight. However, this feeling can be ruined by sagging, which gives the body an uneven shape, and a decline in self-confidence and satisfaction, which is one of the most prevalent problems among obese patients.
Many obese patients may choose to use conventional methods like collagen supplements, stretching creams, and wrapping the skin in nylon after applying vaseline, but these methods are very ineffective and do not produce the desired results. Hence, surgical procedures are used to remove the sagging skin and tighten the body again, making it look like a portrait.
The following factors can contribute to saggy skin after significant weight loss or following bariatric procedures:
• Rapid weight reduction without maintaining hydration equivalent to 2 to 3 liters each day.
• Not eating as healthfully as possible.
• Regular smoking or alcohol addiction.
• Limit the intake of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and minerals that ate essential for skin flexibility.
• Eating little protein at most meals and not performing enough exercise.
• Not utilizing sunblock or maintaining proper skin moisture.
• Ageing; as people age, less collagen, which gives skin its elasticity, is secreted.
