I have loose skin, but I look pretty awesome in clothes.  I don't really even need Spanx.  Most of the loose skin is from being overweight when I was pregnant.  That's what ultimately got me to 267 pounds.  My boobs are basically deflated pancakes, my butt is a little droopy and flat (the flatness is genetic and no amount of squats has ever given me a nice bubble butt), and my inner thighs are droopy at the top. Spanx and a pushup bra could be the only things you need.  I, however, am going to have plastics.  Most likely a LBL and BA/BL.  I've never had a flat tummy, never worn a bikini, and I find that I want those things.  It's all vanity, but who cares?  Whatever keeps me motivated, healthy and thin

I am 50'ish... so older and less resilient skin. There are some things that help firm up skin while u loose. (1) Working out and building some muscle, (2) Firming lotions ( I like Philosophy - Amazing Grace) This might be mental but it feels like it helps just keeping the skin hydrated. Also (3) A exfoliating scrub for the shower to clean dead skin off and firm new skin.

Needless to say I still have some loose skin (after 110+ loss).  But not as bad as I expected! :-)
