Age 59. Am I too old to have liposuction? (photo)

January 29, 2025
Asked By:peakdog in Denver, Colorado

Hello, I am a 59 y/o women. Years ago I had coolsculpting on my inner thighs, banana rolls and abdomen. I feel as though the lipo on my inner thighs resulted in Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia but I can't say for sure. As my photos will attest, coolsculpting had no effect...IMO it made the area worse. I understand that removing fat will result in sagging skin, especially at my age. Is there anything that I can do to improve this? Would lipo with skin tightening be an option?
