Even if my Skin Contracts After Lipo, Will It Feel Different to the Touch?

December 8, 2012

I have seen many pitures of liposuction (esp abs/back/flanks) where really impressive skin contraction occurs. But I have also heard that superficial lipo damages and thins the skin in areas where it is performed, particularly the abdomen. My concern is that, even if my skin contracts, it will not have the same soft, smooth feel it does now. I understand that abormalities (dimpling, lumps, skin laxity etc) can occur, but even if it contracts and LOOKS smooth, will it feel unnatural?
