After weight loss, skin laxity may occur. Wearing shapewear can help contour the body and tighten the skin. Alternatively, collagen injections or laser resurfacing treatments may also improve skin laxity to some extent. Following weight loss, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet, practice moderate portion control, and avoid high-fat, high-calorie foods to prevent weight regain.
