I'm planning a brachio with combo breast lift/augmentation and I've got some crepey skin on breasts and arms extending from underarm to increasingly wrinkly forearm. I'm 52. I hope I'm not too old for this. Once skin is lifted, tightened during a breast and arm lift, what is done w/skin texture? Is it at all improved w/these procedures alone? Is lasering done to improve skin during procedure or done separately? My skin quality looks like it will detract from the final result.
Answer: Skin quality You have asked a great question that should be addressed with every patients prior to surgery in my opinion. Your skin quality does not change after surgery. In fact patients with poor skin quality have less skin elasticity and surgical results are typically not as long lasting. This does not mean that you cannot have a satisfactory surgical result. You simply need to be aware that your surgeon is working with poor quality skin which will be present after the procedure as well. Best wishes.
