Hi, I am 19 years old at 155 lb before lipo with a height of 5'7 & was removed 3.5 liters of fat. Post-19 days of my procedure.i had lost 70 lb before my lipo that left me a few stretch marks and a bit of lose skin.As of today, I see my skin really loose & I'm worried I will be left with saggy skin.ive wore my compression garment as instructed till today and plan on wearing it for a total of 3 months like my PS recommended. What can I do to make sure it retracts?Or will it retract? Please help!
