It is a woman's nature to love beauty. There is no woman who doesn't love beauty. Nowadays people regard thinness as beauty. Therefore, losing weight has become a daily job for women. So, what about skin relaxation after losing weight?
Be careful to lose weight! A woman who lost 266 pounds had loose skin like a sack, which led to emotional breakdown.
It is reported that a 35-year-old woman lost 266 pounds through surgery. However, this kind of weight-loss surgery has brought serious side effects, making the woman's skin slack and suffering from various diseases.
The woman's name is Emma and she is 35 years old. She was overweight since she was a child. At the peak, she weighed 430 Jin, which seriously affected her health. In order to restore normal weight, Emma chose to undergo gastric band surgery to reduce her food intake.
Only one week after the operation, Emma lost 140 kg, and then immediately lost 40 kg, which was immediate.
Although she did lose a lot of weight after the operation, her skin still couldn't keep up with the pace of losing weight. Now Emma has 40-60 kilograms of skin, which brings a lot of inconvenience to her life.
For example, when getting on the bus, Emma is always caught in the door. Besides, she can't do running and other sports, because her skin will swing or sag greatly with the exercise, and the pain is unbearable.
The operation not only brought many influences to Emma's body, but also caused serious psychological trauma to her, making her feel inferior and introverted.
Emma said that when she was a big fat girl, she felt that her life would not change much, so she accepted this fact with peace of mind and loved herself at that time.
Before the operation, she walked in the street and didn't care what others thought. She dated a 22-year-old boyfriend before. Now no matter how she carries out psychological construction, she is ashamed to contact her boyfriend.
Although her boyfriend promised that she would never change her mind no matter what she became, Emma's confidence in this love was gone.
Emma was very fat since she was a child, and she was once seriously school bullying. She always stays alone in the library and never eats lunch in the school cafeteria, for fear of being laughed at by others as soon as she appears.
In order to avoid campus bullies, she chose to repeat the grade. Fortunately, she made a group of friends as fat as herself in the lower grades, and they didn't care about their weight. They even had gastric band surgery together.
In fact, Emma didn't get fat because of bad living habits. She is very restrained in selling junk food, even rarely eats snacks, and often rides a bike to exercise, but she relies heavily on carbohydrates.
The doctor diagnosed that her body could not absorb carbohydrates normally, resulting in continuous weight gain. Emma must undergo plastic surgery if she wants to remove excess skin from her arms, thighs and buttocks.
However, the high cost of surgery discouraged her. Five years ago, Emma decided to start a family with her ex-husband, so she signed up for gastric band surgery. Unexpectedly, their relationship broke down before she underwent the operation.
Now she regrets it very much, saying that if she had known that the operation would bring such side effects, she would have chosen to be thinner.
Causes of skin relaxation
Protein is decreasing due to aging.
Two kinds of skin proteins: collagen and elastin. They are supported by the skin, making them completely tight. After 25 years, these two kinds of protein will naturally reduce the aging process, the degradation time of cells and fibers, and make the skin lose elasticity.
Decreased skin support
Fat and muscle are the biggest supporting forces of the skin, and the subcutaneous fat reduction and muscle relaxation caused by various reasons such as aging, weight loss, unbalanced nutrition and lack of exercise make the skin slack and droopy.
Other factors
Gravity, heredity, mental stress, exposure to sunlight and smoking can also change the skin structure, eventually making the skin lose its elasticity and cause relaxation.
Main index of performance index
After the age of 25, the skin begins to circulate slowly, and the subcutaneous fat layer becomes slack and inelastic, which leads to the decrease of tension between pores and prominent pores.
Intermediate index
Blurred facial contour: Even if you don't gain weight, the facial lines from the earlobe to the chin begin to relax and are no longer smooth and distinct, especially from the side.
Women who are usually busy with work can't take good care of their skin, and they don't know what to do if their skin is slack. Let's see how to tighten their skin!
What should I do if my skin is slack after losing weight?
1. Vitamin C supplementation can protect cells from ultraviolet rays, neutralize free radicals, help synthesize collagen, and improve skin wrinkles and relaxation.
2. By using the cream supplemented with collagen, the supporting ability of the skin can be significantly enhanced, or eating more foods rich in collagen such as trotters and tremella can also achieve the improvement effect.
3. Eating more fruits and vegetables containing antioxidants, such as carrots, tomatoes and grapes, and drinking more red wine and tea can protect collagen in the skin. Avoid eating high-fat foods to avoid generating free radicals and accelerating aging.
4, rubbing some vitamin E oil or essential oil, with massage, can also improve the skin relaxation after weight loss.
5. Insisting on aerobic exercise is an effective way to enhance skin elasticity and contract and relax sebum. Sit-ups can effectively help tighten abdominal muscles. You can insist on doing sit-ups every day according to your own tolerance, and the effect is good.
6, in order to make the skin elastic in a short time, boiled water is the foundation! Don't choose carbonated drinks and avoid alcohol as much as possible, because those things provide you with water and a lot of sugar, which not only increases the burden on your skin, but also provides a lot of heat.
Drinking a cup of boiled water every morning can activate the regeneration of skin epidermal cells and accelerate blood circulation.
In addition, the daily drinking water should not be less than 1000cc, and drinking water before meals can also control appetite, with better effect.
7, baby oil is delicate, easy to penetrate, nutritious and not greasy, occupying all favorable factors. Carefully apply baby oil to the skin surface before going to bed at night, and the epidermis will absorb it quickly to repair skin wrinkles.
The dermis will become a partition to prevent the nutrients in the baby oil from continuing to penetrate, so as not to be absorbed by fat.
8. Salt can effectively open pores, remove aged cuticle and promote skin metabolism.
Specific method: put a small bowl of refined salt in the microwave oven and heat it slightly, then carefully apply it to the skin surface. In order to match the effect, you can also coat a layer of honey on the salt to make the skin smoother.
Wash in an hour. Salt can also act as a scrub. Occasionally, it can reduce skin wrinkles and make the skin firm, but if it is excessive, it will make the skin rough. The frequency of wrinkle removal should be controlled once every two weeks.
9. Vitamin A can effectively prevent cortical overflow and increase skin elasticity. Everything from tasteless carrots to high-fat vegetable butter is the birthplace of vitamin A.
As you are in the late stage of losing weight, experts recommend carrots, tomatoes, oranges, spinach, celery, garlic, lemons, potatoes, wheat germ, egg yolk, milk and animal liver.
Women should follow scientific methods to lose weight, and never lose weight blindly. Some people lose weight after losing weight, but they don't look good at all. Therefore, weight loss needs to be cautious!
