If you are in your 60s and even if you have worked your triceps: skin is not wrinkled but just hangs, will the reduction from cool sculpting take care of the skin there? Facial skin is great just the lower area and lines under eyes. and plastysmal bands that I hate. Not a serial surgery type but feeling that some improvement would be great with a great surgeon.

Answer: Coolsculpting I appreciate your question.Coolsculpting can tighten the skin a bit if you have good skin quality.If the issue is loose skin it might not be the best modality for you.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Coolsculpting will not tighten loose hanging skin. Coolsculpting is a fat reduction treatment that relies on the innate elasticity of a patient's own skin in the treated area. You have little or no residual elasticity (by your description) and if the skin "hangs" you also have little fat remaining to be addressed by Coolsculpting. Coolsculpting has no place in your described scenario.You need skin removal, as no exercise or treatment exists that has replaced plastic surgical excision of loose skin, regardless of location on the body.Botox can help reduce platysmal bands, but will NOT tighten loose skin--you need a facelift/necklift for that.Any ABPS-certified plastic surgeon worth his or her salt should tell you that! Go see one or two and get information applicable to your own specific anatomy, goals, and concerns! Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
