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?
