What should I expect for results with liposuction on older woman?

Good question. In general, physical health is more important
than age when discussing cosmetic procedures. However, with liposuction, it is
important to have good skin elasticity, and that decreases with age. Since skin
loses its ability to "snap back" over time, older individuals can be
left with drooping skin and unsatisfactory results. Without knowing how old you
are or what your skin quality is like, it's hard to predict what kind of
results you can expect. It's quite possible that an older woman could have skin
just as elastic as a younger one. A good plastic surgeon can evaluate your skin
and make recommendations. Your surgical plan could also include a procedure to
remove drooping skin, if necessary, such as a tummy tuck or other body lifting
procedure. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon and he or she will
recommend what's best for you. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. The main concern when doing liposuction on older women is the elasticity of the skin. As we age our skin loses elasticity and following liposuction and removal of the fat beneath skin in older patients over 60 the skin does not always retract or tighten optimally.In my experience the new laser liposuction technique can produce additional skin tightening following liposuction.Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
