Why would you? Do you imagine it as some sort of spring that will snap back?
If I go looking for an example, I tend to pick on the ladies! See what happens when they develop big boobs (i.e., the skin is stretched) and then lose weight (sometimes after pregnancy). Wouldn't most of them just love it if the skin shrank down again, or "sprang" back?
You may however have to "over"-stretch it a little in both diameter and time, to make sure it "stays".
