Hello. I had gastric bypass surgery two decades ago. I lost about 100 pounds ( went from 264 lbs to 150 lbs). I also have lipedema and had thigh liposuction in December 2020 and lower leg liposuction in May 2021. I plan to eventually have a thigh lift, but don't know when. My surgeon doesn't think I need to lift this skin. However, I am not happy with all the loose skin on my lower legs. I wear compression stockings but it is not helping. Can this skin be removed?
