Following... My BMI was 42, and I'm 32, but only 14 weeks out, so I'm not much help. Down 67 lbs, and feeling saggy, but time will tell if I stay that way.

I had a low BMI. But ended up with lots of loose skin

I'm actually sitting here recovering from an arm lift, abdomiplasty, and panni. Had these done Wednesday.

I was overweight all of my life and I'm 53. My skin wasn't bouncing back. But everyone is different. So many factors play a role.

I'm 31, I had a BMI of 40 when I had surgery. My surgery weight was 238 and I am 162 right now still losing around 2lbs a week at a little over 6 months out. My high weight was 252. I thought by now the loose skin would be horrible, but it's really not. I have a little bit of loose skin on my arms and my stomach. But my stomach was bad before from pregnancies so I'm really not attributing it to the weight loss. I have like 17 more pounds to loose to a normal BMI and I don't think things will get much worse. My breast didn't even drop, sag, or deflate just got smaller. I honestly have been pleasantly surprised by my body. I thought I would need lots of plastic surgery, but now I wouldn't waste the money on it.

Go ahead and prepare yourself mentally that you are going to have loose skin. It's just a side effect of losing weight and there's nothing that can be done to prevent it. The answer is plastic surgery after you have reached your goal weight.
