How long does skin usually take to tighten up after liposuction? (Photo)

April 24, 2018
Asked By:danisurf124 in Charlotte, NC

I'm one month post-op, and the skin actually looks slightly worse now than it did after surgery. Is this part of the normal process? I have recently started back to working out, and perhaps this is the reason for the change?
