1. It all just depends. Skin tends to be elastic, but when it gets stretched too much, sometimes it can act like the waistband on an old pair of underwear and just stop stretching... It should eventually heal either way, but it can take as long as a couple weeks, or even months, and in some cases, maybe never. It all just depends.

3. Depending on your skins elasticity and texture will depend on if your skin will tighten up after surgery. It is comparable to a woman being pregnant; her stomach expands while pregnant and after birth the stomach goes down and most of the time retracts back to normal. Same for when you have liposuction. Some people have poor elasticity of the skin which causes the skin to hang loosely. It is hard for me to say what will happen in your case because I cannot see your skin. However, with my experience more times than not the skin will go back to normal, again just depending on the elasticity of the skin. The amount of time cannot be determined. It does take a good 2-6 months to heal completely after having liposuction. There are procedures to tighten your skin if you are worried about that. Check out thermage (skin tightening) for the body. I do that procedure here at my clinic and it has worked wonders on my patients who have loose skin. Wishing you all the best and I hope I helped out a little!
