Yes, liposuction can tighten loose skin. After liposuction, as the area heals, a layer of scar forms which tightens the different areas of the skin relative to each other and also relative to the tissues underneath. You can not see the scarring responsible for this, because it is in the deep dermis (lowermost portion of the thick part of the skin) and in the fatty layer. |
