Loose Skin

[hc4361]

Realistically can a 60 year old woman improve her very loose skin after weight loss without surgery? If so, how?
It is all over, even her forearms have 'bingo wings'.

no

I doubt it, skin apparently loses elasticity over time.

She's been exercising like a mad thing with no visible improvement and is now looking at lotions and potions that are promising miracles. I don't want her either wasting her money or being disappointed.

I think only surgery can shift it. Not to be undertaken lightly.

Fraid not HC best save up and go to Poland great surgeons out there and a fraction of the price x

She's my sister in law so I certainly won't be footing any bills, but she is very depressed about it. She's worried about the surgery though - inasmuch as where would it stop? Her face, neck, arms, boobs, belly, bum and thighs are all affected. Also, I think she feels she is too old for 'vanity surgery' as she calls it.

60 is no age..a complete body lift I believe is available !

[hc4361]

I'm glad you've posted on the thread, Islay, I know you are planning on such surgery.
Any idea how much a full body lift costs and what it includes?

[Islay]

Yes arms boobs belly thighs and pubis was about 12 grand in Poland about 20 grand in the uk. Obviously would not be able to do that in 1 go but 2 ops in 1 year is achievable.

Crikey. Thanks for that, I will give her the information and she can decide what to do.

[Islay]

I have a couple of company names as well that come highly recommended xx

[hc4361]

That's good to know :)

[bednobs]

what happens if you have a body lift then put weight back on again?

[Islay]

Pretty much the same - the skin will stretch and sag again

60 is no age at all these days!

[waterboatman]

60 is middle aged these days.

I must be very young then, Boaty. I'm only 40 something :)
