Answer 1

Skin is usually elastic and can retain its shape. But as people age or the skin gets stretched past a point of return, it doesn’t go back. What usually happens is it either retracts, or just hangs like ab empty sack. Most people who lose lots of weight end up getting surgery to remove the extra skin.
