A few facts about me. I am 25, 5'1" and about 110. I lost 70 pounds from my highest of 180. According to the bodyfat scale of my dietician I have 16.5 percent bodyfat from my highest of about 39 percent (I do know these scales aren't reliable, but I thought I would include the numbers.)
I have some loose skin on my breasts and lower abdomen and my stomach as a whole. I lost the last 25 pounds in the last year. Also the year I started seeing the loose skin. I am thinking about surgery, but my dietician talked about they idea of weighting a year before actually deciding.
As I don't know many people personally who lost a lot of weight I wanted to ask here on reddit. If people who have maintained for a year or close to it have seen improvements when it comes to loose skin. I know it's unpredictable if mine will tighten, but I am thinking about waiting another year before having the surgery as I am not totally sure if I would want to do it. And I thought some real life experiences would help me decide. I also want to know if it is even possible for it to tighten somewhat, because the information on the internet is very diverse on the topic.
Right now I am leaning to waiting until next year and giving my body a shot at tightning. I also hope it might be the difference between a full abdominoplasty and a mini, because I would rather not have a scar around my belly button. The doctor I visited this week said a circular one all around might be the best one, but honestly that is way to drastic as I don't want perfection. He told me a mini abdominoplasty would definitely be an option, but he would advice a full one. Obviously it ultimatly is my decision, but I don't know if a plastic surgeon might have a different goal in mind then I do. Which is a close to perfect body for him and just a close to normal body for me.
I also plan to take my collagen for that year. Scrub close to 3 or 4 days a week or more and moisturize every day. Work out and increase strenght training and keep on eating clean and drinking a lot of water.
