Question:
Body Wraps ~ or ~ Lifestyle Lift???

Has anyone tried body wraps and or Lifestyle Lift to improve sagging skin??? I have lost 128 lbs and have sagging skin on my stomach of course, but have been surprised by the sagging skin on my upper arms and on my thighs. Most recently I have noticed sagging skin on my neck ... from my adam's apple up to my chin. Wondering if either one of these procedures will help tighten the skin. I prefer to have no more surgeries! Thanks!    — Tammy Cardwell (posted on October 26, 2008)

I'm pre op but I have given this alot of thought and I believe if a person wears tight fitting spandex or an ace bandage it helps the skin to bounce back. As for the chin, women use to take something like an ace bandage and wrap it under the chin and up and over the head at night when they slept to help control the developement of the double chin. Hope this helps.

Once your skin saggs, it will not go back to it's original state because, with age and weight loss, you lose elasticity. Talk to a plastic surgeon. They might give you advise on alternative procedures that might not be as invasive as surgery. Good luck.

I havr lost 80 lbs and I am having the exact same problem. I can hide my stomach but I have to be real careful not to raise my arms because the excess skins just flaps away. Let me know what you find out. Please share.
