I worked out and added lots of lean muscle to reach goal and get to a place where I could accurately determine what plastics I needed. The only thing it does is fill in a bit of the loose skin with the muscle, but particularly women do not bulk enough to fill the skin after the extreme weight loss most of us experience. Trust me......I still had over 9 pounds of loose skin and serious love handles in spite of the lean muscle mass.
