First of all, congratulations on your body lift, Caterpillargirl!It’s normal for your skin to feel tight right after a body lift. But the feeling will eventually subside over time as your body adjusts to your new skin tone. The amount of time is uncertain though, as some people lose this uncomfortable feeling in just a few weeks post-op, while others take months to do so.If you have any other concerns, don’t hesitate to follow-up with your reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon.Best of luck!
