So, I've been VERY fortunate on the excess skin issue, sure I sag a little here and there but my fears that I'd end up looking like a circus freak proved false. I actually have more of an issue when I lie down then stand, I sort of look like I am melting a bit as I sag onto the bed

One thing I have noticed is when I give myself an injection every 10 days for Testosterone replacement, it seems that the skin on my thigh is now a lot thicker and I have to push quite hard to "pop" through the outer layer into the muscle. Can this be that my skin has actually gotten THICKER instead of just looser?

Anyone from , say a dermatologist office in the know about this?

Just a theory, but could it be that your needle is hitting hard muscle now as opposed to soft fat?

or perhaps, its that the skin isn't as stretched and thin so the needle has to go through more of it. Not an MD or expert but both what Thomas said and what I think does sound logical.

Skin can't be thicker much it must be fat underlying.
