It depends on the elasticity of the skin

In most cases with a healthy skin quality and without having undergone massive weight loss or bariatric surgery , skin will tighten after liposuction. It is important though to wear compression garments for support during the postop period of swelling . Also to understand that the skin tightening can take several mi this to develop.

With standard liposuction, skin tightening is not a typical side effect. Depending on the elasticity of your skin you may notice some ‘tightening’ of the skin. Other means of liposuction such as laser assisted liposuction do seem to have the benefit of offering some mild skin tightening due to ‘shrinkage’ of the skin by applying heat energy.

In general yes. After liposuction depending on the amount of other post to show remove the skin should tiding. It all depends on how elastic the skin is and how much excess skin a person has.

There is some degree of tightening. It really depends on skin quality, location of the area suctioned, if there is history of weight gain/loss, especially repeatedly, what type of liposuction used (energy based such as laser ultrasound or bipolar radio frequency). If you have somewhat loose skin, best bet is combo liposuction with Inmode bodytite. Best to see a boarded plastic surgeon who you trust for honest advice.
Good luck to you.

Yes. And it also depends somewhat on the modality of liposuction used.

There may be some very mild skin tightening after liposuction. There usually is more skin tightening with liposuction if your surgeon uses some sort of energy combined with the liposuction (i.e. ultrasound or laser).
