The Aesthetic Toll of Rapid Fat Loss:
When tissue loses enormous amounts of fat in a very short period of time, the surrounding skin often cannot keep up with the shrinking volume. The result is sagging, loose skin on the abdomen, arms, and face. For users of GLP-1 medications, this is a major concern. Because these patients are often malnourished (since they eat extremely little), they lack the essential vitamins, proteins, and fatty acids needed to keep the skin elastic and hydrated. In Chinese Medicine, the Spleen governs the connective tissue (“flesh and muscles”), and the Lung network is responsible for the condition of the superficial skin and pores. When both systems become depleted due to a drastic calorie deficit and fluid loss, the tissue structure literally collapses and the collagen dries out.
