Hi all. I'm 3 months post op (4800 ccs removed from inner/outer/front thighs, abs, hips and flanks) and am curious about the process of skin shrinking. I've read it can take a year or more to see how the skin will end up since skin takes the longest to transform, but what was your experience at different stages? 3, 6, 9, 12 months - were you noticing your skin shrinking?

Prior to surgery, I was mainly concerned with having too much ab skin after fat was removed (thought I may even need a tuck), but my abs are tightening up well. I'd like to see more tightening in my outer and front thighs. I can grab some skin in some deflated areas and I'm seeing some waviness ... both in areas where PSs said I had excellent skin elasticity. I see my PS next week, so I'll let you know what he says.
