I've Lost 100 Pounds Since VSG Surgery and Am Maintaining 109 Pounds. Will my Skin Shrink Any More? (photo)

Lost125pounds
How long should I wait to get a 360 lift? I am 49, 5'4", weigh 109 pounds and have lost 100 pounds since VSG surgery a year and a half ago. My BMI is 18.6. I am nervous about having such a long scar, but if my skin will never get any better, than I would do it. I know I could wait six months or a year to find out about shrinkage, but that's just more time feeling fat. LOL! Would love to hear from the experts.
