Three reasons of skin wrinkling and sagging too fast.
I lost weight in three months 1 1 kg, which seems to have a good effect, but why are there wrinkles?
Reason 1: The method of losing weight is wrong.
Many people lose weight without exercise, by dieting or not eating, resulting in reducing fat and muscle. Li, a free fitness coach, said that reducing important diet and exercise go hand in hand, but because of not eating or controlling diet, fat is consumed, but muscle mass is not increased to support the skin, so the skin that was originally stretched by fat will become as loose as a deflated ball.
To avoid this problem, in addition to adjusting diet, aerobic and weight-bearing training must be combined in the process of losing weight. "To lose weight is not to eat completely, but to calculate the calories needed for a day, and then burn calories through exercise, instead of directly reducing calorie intake through dieting," Li said.
Yang Kunche, deputy secretary general of Taiwan Province Obesity Medical Association, also pointed out that most of these problems are caused by dieting or fasting. When you lose weight and eat normally, your body will absorb more. If you lose weight in this way, muscle and fat will often be lost together. Without muscle, it is easier to gain weight and improve metabolism.
Reason two: lose weight too fast.
"Losing weight too fast will not only make your skin loose, but also make you more likely to gain weight in the future," Yang Kunche suggested that you should lose weight slowly and set your calorie intake according to your daily needs.
It is difficult for ordinary people to accurately measure the basal metabolic rate, and there is no fixed standard to indicate whether people are fat or thin. Therefore, it is suggested that you can refer to the daily dietary recommendations of the National Medical Service System, take your body mass index as a reference, add your weight, goals and work style, and calculate how many calories you should eat a day, and then subtract 500 calories from that calorie as your daily intake, so that 1 week can lose 0.5 ~ 65438. 」
For example, if someone is an office worker with a body mass index of 34, and his main job is typing and administrative work, then he should match "light work" with "calories needed by overweight or obese people" and multiply his weight by 20 calories.
Reason three: weight loss surgery
Operations such as partial gastrectomy and bypass surgery. In the first half of the year, the weight will plummet 10 ~ 20 kg, and there will be large sagging skin and wrinkles.
Wrinkles and broken skin can be solved without nervous eating, rubbing and trimming.
If this problem has appeared, how to solve it? Zhang Yijing, director of the Beauty Medicine Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Taipei Medical University, pointed out that the severity of skin relaxation after weight loss may be related to how much weight has been lost, the speed of weight loss, how long obesity lasts, age, skin elasticity and so on. "Usually, the older you are, the longer you are obese, and the more obvious the problem of skin relaxation after losing weight. 」

Outpatients sometimes encounter people with more wrinkles on the face and neck due to weight loss. "After excessive weight loss, the density and thickness of collagen in dermis may decrease, and elastic fibers may also be damaged, thus increasing wrinkles and sagging skin. Zhang Yijing said.
She suggested that people with this problem should take more vitamin C, properly supplement water, protein, omega-3 and comprehensive vitamins, and pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection. These can help skin collagen proliferation and maintain skin elasticity.
Zhang Yijing also said that if the skin of abdomen, arms, thighs and other body parts is slack after losing weight, courses such as "electric wave lift" can be used to improve it, while the skin of "face" is slack and droopy. Besides electric wave lift, you can also choose "acoustic wave lift" to help lift and tighten it.
In addition, after losing weight, subcutaneous fat becomes less, which may also make cheeks droop, skin droop and wrinkles appear. It is suggested to inject "hyaluronic acid" into risorius to beautify the facial structure curve and lift loose skin. She also reminded that everyone's face and skin condition are different. Before the course of treatment begins, you should ask a specialist to evaluate it carefully.
There is also a "turkey neck" that is often consulted because of weight loss. Zhang Yijing pointed out that in addition to rubbing skin care products, doing sonic and electric wave skin lifting to help tighten the skin, you can now apply a special dosage form of "hyaluronic acid" to dilute the lateral wrinkles in the neck; However, if the vertical stripes of chicken neck are mainly caused by muscles, Botox will generally be used to improve them.

If it is too serious and droops in a large area, it must rely on surgery.
If it is a large area of skin prolapse, it can not be handled by exercise and fine adjustment, but only by surgical body carving. Li, a plastic surgeon in the Affiliated Hospital of Taipei Medical College, pointed out that skin drooping is more common in the abdomen, under the upper arm and thighs, and mainly occurs in women who lose weight significantly in a short time after delivery or undergo weight loss surgery.
The degree of skin sagging can be divided into three grades according to skin elasticity and fat content. The first level can be improved by exercise, diet, non-invasive treatment (such as radio waves and radio frequencies) or liposuction, while the second and third levels need liposuction, surgical resection and face lift. "This is a big operation, will leave a scar. It can be said that the recovery period is about 2-3 weeks. The more resection areas, the longer the recovery time. 」

As for sagging skin, does it really need to be removed? Li pointed out that if the area is not large and does not affect life, it is only a matter of appearance. "But some parts, such as the abdomen, are prone to eczema and mold infection because they are not easy to clean, or too much skin under the armpit and inside the thigh is easy to rub, causing discomfort. At this time, resection can not only improve the body position, but also improve the quality of life of patients. 」

In addition, many foreign studies have also found that patients who have undergone weight loss surgery will lose weight if they have undergone body sculpture surgery. Therefore, if you have similar problems, it is recommended to consult a specialist. (Recommended reading: How much water can I drink to lose weight? )
If you do this, the skin can also return to its old view.
Exercise can also improve wrinkles. Compared with losing weight, we should pay equal attention to aerobic training and retraining. If skin droops and skin wrinkles appear, priority should be given to retraining, and the muscles should be trained back. In particular, protein should be taken to help the muscles grow, and they will recover in about half a year.
It is also skillful to do heavy training. "The place to relax is not a place to practice muscles, so the efficiency is very low." Li said that we should start with large muscle groups such as chest muscles, back muscles and leg muscles, and use large muscle groups to bring small muscle groups.
If you want to improve the wrinkles and slight skin relaxation caused by weight loss, you can increase the proportion of weight training. Image source: Shutterstock)
For example, butterfly sleeve's skin is slack, practicing chest muscles can drive triceps, and practicing back muscles can train biceps; If your hips and abdomen are loose, you can exercise leg muscles, which is more efficient and can improve core stability.
