What should I do about loose skin after losing weight?

After losing weight, skin may become loose and saggy. The following methods can be tried to improve this condition: Patients should increase physical exercise. Combining aerobic exercises with strength training—such as running or swimming along with push-ups and squats—can help build muscle mass and make the skin appear firmer. Pay attention to a balanced diet by consuming sufficient high-quality protein sources like chicken breast, fish, shrimp, and legumes, which provide the necessary nutrients for tissue repair and regeneration. Additionally, include foods rich in vitamins C and E to promote collagen synthesis.

Skin care routines can also help; for example, using skincare products designed to tighten skin and regularly massaging the skin to enhance blood circulation. If skin laxity is severe, medical aesthetic treatments such as radiofrequency therapy or laser therapy may be considered to stimulate collagen regeneration. Maintaining a positive mindset and ensuring adequate sleep also play beneficial roles in supporting the body’s recovery and adjustment.
