I am a male, 6'4" and about 230 pounds, pre-op. I had liposuction of the flank and abdomen, and a double gynecomastectomy. About two liters were removed in the lipo, and surgery was just under a week ago. I woke up to some loose and excess skin, but my skin elasticity is always been fairly good. My question is whether or not that will improve and over what time period. Will my skin retract? Is there anything that can be done to help it?

There is a great deal of variability among humans, so it is always imperative to focus on the individual. Liposuction may be appropriate, but an exam or pictures would be necessary for an evaluation.
Accessory breast can be removed with liposuction and breast tissue removal.
The incision area will be placed deep in the armpit area, and incision size will be about 10cm, depending on patients condition.
Thank you for sharing your question. This is most likely to be due to swelling after the liposuction procedure. You should be wearing a compression garment, which is given to reduce post op swelling. You should go and see your cosmetic surgeon for further advice.
