I wanted to ask the pt on boards or women with this issue,is it possible to build enough muscle to fill in the loose skin so its not crepey looking. The skin is loose from age not from being overly stretched from extreme excess weight. Most bothersome in ab region and front of upper arms. Comments

    Regarding loose skin from major weight loss, building muscle can certainly help some, but typically it's not going to fill everything back in. Sadly for many people who lose 100+ pounds, it's either surgery or living with it.

    Wish I had better news!

    The loose skin is not from major weight loss. Ive lost 25 lbs and only want to lose maybe 5 more.

    Ah sorry I misread your post!

    Skin will lose some its elasticity with age, but you can absolutely make a noticeable difference with muscle! For most female clients I work with for aesthetics, we focus on building the triceps, glutes, pecs and hamstrings in addition to total-body strength exercises.
