Liposuction of Legs for Sixty Year Old?

July 25, 2013
Asked By:chicago13

I am a 60 year old healthy woman with cankles and fat knees. I want liposuction on both but due to my age I have lost my skin elasticity. I am desperate to wear a dress or shorts. I understand a lot of Drs don't want to do this due to my excess skin but feel I would still look better than I do now. can the skin be pulled and tightened like an arm lift? I am ok with scars. I am maybe 10 to 20 lbs over weight and very healthy. Please help me.thanks
