lose skin and love handles was created by INB4
So Im struggling with fat/lose skin in my love handles and lower-back, more so my lower-back.
Has anyone used the laser lipo treatments all the slimming clinics are advertising, is it really worth the money?
Anyone familiar with Lipostabil, is it even available in South Africa?

Even if it does fry the fat your still going to be stuck with the extra skin bro.

Go big or go home...

INB4 sorry bro but ian is right, i am in the same boat bud, if u have stretch marks and loads of skin that you can grab a handful on you gotta have it chopped, its shitty but its the only way...

If you decide to chop the extra skin off will you have a scar?

yup, depending where the skin is you are getting chopped,if you get a tummy tuck they cut down below your pants line so thats where the scar will be,but these days with laser technology there are treatments u can go for to reduce scaring.

Last I heard a tummytuck will set you back 60K from a good doctor and even he still says that there will be scaring almost no one is ever happy with the scar. :(
In our cases DJ do you think that if we get our bf down to single digits and keep it there for and extended period the skin will tighten up?

look in my case I have decent stretch marks and a scar under my underpants is not a major issue to me. the guy I went to said it is about 60. could be less could be more but I an not sure. I am still debating on going for it as it is alot of money how ever I can get it financed from the bank so I am really considering the plunge... I see it this way, having a scar and abs and intercostals showing is better than a flap of belly skin. yes the skin will reduce with time but not to being tight like a pro bodybuilder bud. take a balloon blow it up till its just about to pop and let the air out, thats like your skin, it will go back to 80-90% of what it was originally but never to the small size it was to start...

Im going to try and see how well my 25 year old skin retains its elasticity, I know there is nothing I do about the stretch-scars, is there some sort of cream/oil that I can apply to my skin to try and help the processes, is there something the pro's use pre contest, or should I just use tissue oil/vitamin e oil?
Suppose the best place to ask these type of question is to mascaraed as a pregnant woman on babycenter.com .

Nope,vitamin e oil and high protein will help with skin rejuvination but the making of excess skin into tight skin around the body is physically impossible.

Then for it to come tight like u want it won't happen as your skin has been used to covering a large surface area of fat,so it will come in a little bit but not tight like u want, after loosing all that body fat you are now throwing a king size duvet on a double bed,there is way to much duvet for the bed underneath. I am in the same boat at u bro hence the reason I plan on having it chopped.

Hopefully I can get as close as possible to normal as I can, The only thing that really bugs me is the skin\fat on the side of my chest, is that estrogin related or just normal male fat retention.

Area in question.

That's excess skin, and fat, only way to get rid of that is : build a bigger chest and build a bigger back to fill the skin.
