Im 24 and lost 130lbs (280 to 149) and I haven’t started maintenance yet.

From what I’ve read online, majority of loose skin tightening naturally begins when maintaining your weight. What can I do to maximize how much re-absorbs?

I was thinking some sort of topical GHK-CU alternated with a retinoid to keep elasticity high, but i’m not sure if there is a better method or combination.

Main worry areas: Lower Belly and Pecs

I want to minimize loose skin before considering surgery so I can either avoid it all in all if I can get rid of enough, or minimize the surgery.

from july 26, i was ~151lbs , note that I haven’t started any weight training so im somewhat confident that with time I can fill out my arms and chest sufficiently to fill it out, and I also expect about a 10% reduction in loose skin from natural reabsorption once I start maintenance, hopefully more if the ghkcu and retinoid actually does something lol

sadly you will most likely need surgery to remove it
 
dont think any peptides like ghkcu can help increase how much snaps back?
no you had a amazing weight loss transformation, i think you were too heavy and not even muscle can fully make it dissapear. sorry bro, make more threads and ask more opinions aswell!
 
Surgery but tbh you can try weight training first but I suspect you will still need surgery. At least on the stomach area it's pretty guaranteed
