Just like everyone else, it all depends on your weightloss, how much, and your age. My mom is on Atkins as well she is 47 and has lost about 38lbs in three to four months. Her skin has gone right into place! So it all depends! I worry about this also, since I am overweight for my height and have quite a belly on me. So, if worse comes to worse, I will get a tummy tuck and a boob job! At one time!!!! LOL!!!
