Extra skin in hands?

[tcrehm 101]

So I have lost almost 40 lbs with pre-surgery diet and post surgery. I've noticed (as did my 26 year old son who usually notices nothing so it must be fairly noticeable) that the back of my hands look very wrinkled and old. Is this due to weight loss in my hands and will it stay this way or eventually go back to not as wrinkly?

I would suggest moisturizing daily. Not just your hands, but all over. It can help some, but there is no guaranteed to stave off loose skin on any part of your body.

Humm I don't know I've lost 110 lbs and I don't think my hands are wrinkled. Maybe it has to do with age? I don't know your age but I'm 34. My hands actually look big in this picture but I wear a size 5 1/2 ring now, was a 9!

Are you getting in enough Water? When people start getting dehydrated often the skin on their hands will get a bit loose.

I would also suggest moisturizer. It can go a long way to keep your skin healthy!

I agree with others, hydration inside (water) and out (moisturizing) should take care of that. I'm 52 and my hands don't look wrinkly at all.

I've been drinking my Water 64 oz a day and moisturizing. I'm only 52 years young. But I live in Illinois and have been in Florida since Friday so maybe I just need more fluids in Florida 90f temps than in Illinois. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Next goal is to get my hands to look as pretty as yours!

@@tcrehm lol! Hand goals! You just need to plump them back up with fluid! I never notice anyone's handy unless they're missing fingers or dirty!
