Will i have loose and sagging skin after a tumescent liposuction?

Depends: Thanks for a great question, but without an exam in person, such a personalize question is difficult to answer. It is possible to develop loose skin after aggressive liposuction in the wrong candidate.

Possible: With any liposuction technique, if your skin quality is poor and you have loose skin to begin with, yes, liposuction makes skin even looser. So be wary if you have stretch marks in the area of liposuction.

Liposuction: It depends on the quality of skin to begin with. If you have loose skin then it may not contract after liposuction. This is usually the case in areas where there are already stretch marks.

You might...: If your skin is loose to begin with, liposuction alone will not make it tighter. These are things to review with your surgeon beforehand. :).

Not usually: If you have good skin tone, the removal of excess fat usually results in a nice contouring. One should discuss the likely outcomes and options with ones surgeon.
