    Are you trying to ask how to tighten skin when losing weight?

    lose slowly, and the skin can keep up. But sometimes your genetics can prevent the skin from shrinking back up in certain places depending on a few factors.

    Case in point, I had a huge fat double chin when I was morbidly obese. Once, I had an ugly mole on it removed. The scar was in the middle of my throat, halfway between my actual chin and sternum. After losing weight and losing the double chin, that scar is now in the crease under the bony protruding part of my chin. You can't at all see it unless I tug the skin up over the top of my jaw. THAT'S HOW MUCH my double chin skin snapped back.
