How do you treat it? Will medical grade skincare help/fix it? Can you look at someone and tell they have bad skin? PS blamed my skin for my loose skin after a fl/nl. What are my options now?

Answer: Poor quality skin. Skin has several components to it, collagen, elastin, etc, that give it it's strength and elasticity. these are abundant in youth and so the skin is thicker, and stronger. Numerous things can lead to decreasing skin strength and elasticity such as aging, sun damage, smoking, prior excess weight gain, poor nutrition, certain drugs, etc and there are some people who have a genetic defects in the strength of their collagen. A facelift/necklift is done by tightening the deeper layers and smoothing the skin over this tightened deeper layer. If the skin has lost it strength and elasticity, it may look good for a period of time but will loosen over time and some of the results will be lost over time. There may be an option for a revision to improve your result but you should check with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Why skin quality determines facelift results Age and environmental factors such as sun exposure cause the skin to thin, lose elasticity, and weaken. Once this occurs to significant degree, it will not stay smooth and tight no matter the skill of the surgeon. medical grades kin care products are a start, but energy-based treatments such as Ultherapy or radiofrequency should be considered.
