Society/Culture Healthy weight loss should be rewarded with free/optional excess skin removal and other elective cosmetic surgeries.

I want to make it clear that there is nothing wrong with excess skin or stretch marks. They are 100% natural, especially if someone is loosing weight or battling obesity.

But I think it would be a huge incentive to those wanting to get healthier if they knew any excess skin they may have can be removed if they would like it to be (without costing an arm and a leg).

If I, a stranger, come to you, a cosmetic surgeon, 100+ lb lighter than I was but with a ton of loose skin, how would you know if my weight loss was healthy or not?

Unfortunately that isn’t a question I know the answer to.
