I’m 14 months into a 52 lb loss (5'6", started around 218) and the loose skin is most obvious on my lower belly and upper arms. I keep seeing confident posts that it bounces back with time, lifting, collagen, hydration, slow loss, etc. I’m not expecting a miracle, but I’d like to separate hope from evidence.
For those who’ve been at maintenance a while: did you measure or photograph changes at 6, 12, 24 months? Did it tighten meaningfully, or mostly just soften and drape differently?
If you have dermatology or plastic surgery sources you found useful, I’d take specifics — no hype, just what changed and when. Also curious whether age and total loss amount seemed to matter more than habits in your experience.
