Dear Alice,
I have recently begun planning a healthier lifestyle. I am aiming to lose a rather large amount of weight. My question is, will skin shrink along with your body mass? I have heard some say that skin will not shrink down when you lose weight, and you have to have plastic surgery to remove the excess skin. Is this true? I have done an extensive amount of research on the subject, and I have found almost nothing. I am not concerned with a bit of saggy skin, but when I do reach my weight goal, I don't want to look like an old, lumpy sack of potatoes. Please help!
