Skin retraction following liposuction? (Photo)

June 11, 2017
Asked By:Luciamz

I am a 40yr old woman and had liposuction to my inner and outer thighs one week ago. I am currently wearing my compression garment 24 hours day only taking off to shower or wash the garment and plan to continue this for a further 5 weeks (6 weeks post op in total) my skin in these areas is still bruised and swollen as expected. However, it looks very flabby and loose. Should I expect it to improve over the course of the next month?
