Will loose skin get worse after swelling goes down? Should I expect to have loose skin when standing?

Momma3andhappy
I am 5dpo from a full tummy tuck. Standing (besides the major swelling) I'm really happy with my results. I had pretty bad stretch marks so I was still left with these. Here is the problem. When I sit my skin seems to get thin and wrinkly, mainly where the stretch marks are and the swollen thin skin above my incision almost seems to want to roll over or hang over my incision. When the swelling goes down will this loose skin get worse? Should I expect to have loose skin when standing also?
