After Tumescent Liposuction, your skin is "redraped" immediately. However, after liposuction surgery, you will be swollen. This swelling typically lasts for about 3 months. Most of the swelling will likely be gone in about 6 weeks. This is when you will see the most shrinkage, but the remaining swelling and firmness you feel in your skin will take about 3-6 months to be gone. As this happens, your skin may settle a little. How much it settles will depend on your skin tone prior to surgery. If your skin was loose, prior to lipo, it'll be even more loose after. If you have a large volume of fat removed, then it'll definitely be more loose after. DiscoverTheBeauty.com
