i was just wondering how long does it take for skin to come back tite again...i had a minor case rectified 2weeks ago. my nipples/areolar look a little "loose" at the moment... should this tighten up over time and how much time???

do any skin titening creams or working out chest muscles help this?

Skin can take months to tighten. Even years or not at all in cases such as massive weight loss etc.  I'm assuming your post op, and if I were you I would avoid using anything but patience on your chest for a month unless you get it cleared by your doctor.  I don't think skin ever really shrinks so much as it dies and regrows.  Two weeks would be too soon to make any judgments.  Just think how long it takes for a blister to heal and look normal again, and that is just a minor alteration to the outer layer of skin.  Are you using proper compression?

I'm 5 mths post-op and skin still hasn't tightened. I think you need to build up the chest muscle to fill in the loose skin.
