I have loose elbow skin. Am I a candidate for an elbow lift?

Charlie_Girl
Hands and elbows apparently show your true age. Mine look much older than I am (I'm 33). I know I can make my hands look better with fillers and possibly IPL laser or resurfacing. But that's not enough for the elbows. I also weight train and tricep exersizes aren't enough either. (I also drink 100 oz of water a day.) I want actual incisions and tucks. I can treat scars. Would I have to do one arm at a time? What's the recovery time? Ballpark on cost? Type of Surgeoun best for this?
