How To Get Rid Of Excess Skin After Weight Loss

For some people, there is a great distinction between going under the knife to lose weight for health reasons than to do it for cosmetic reasons.

For instance, some people might undergo a gastric bypass surgery because they are getting dangerously close to being a type 2 diabetic.

Their kidneys would be working over time that would result in not being able to filter protein from urine.

Another common problem for obese people is the fact that they get sleep apnea because the excess weight obstructs their breathing. For these people who get weight loss surgery, health issues were their main concern.

Then there is a segment of the population who do body sculpting procedures like liposuction that removes excess fat from love handles or the hips and thighs. They do it not because the fat is excessive and harming their health but rather because it is a more convenient solution to working out.

They want to be able to fit into the tightest clothes or show off a beach body. There is no doubt that in this scenario, these people are doing it for cosmetic reasons.

So for health or for vanity, these are the reasons why people would go under weight loss surgery.

For those people who are adamantly opposed to getting cosmetic surgery but did undergo a weight loss surgery for health reasons, there is something they should consider.

After surgery, depending on the elasticity of their skin, it is possible that it will not retract to its original form.

As a result, there will be a lot of loose skin. In fact, some people can actually have tens of pounds of excess skin removed. If this is you, excess skin removal is something you should consider.

However, there are options to cosmetic surgery if the loose skin is not too bad. One option is body shaping underwear.

Women might already be very familiar with shapewear undergarments because historically, they have worn corsets, tights and girdles.

The good news for men is that body shaping underwear is available to them as well. A mens girdle can easily be found in any department store and this is the solution for men suffering from excess skin.

A compression girdle for men will be able to flatten any bumps and rolls. Now men can benefit from the miracles of body shapewear as well. 

For people who won't compromise on cosmetic surgeries, shapewear undergarments are a good solution for their needs.
