Does firm thick skin not get as dramatic improvement from facelift as thin damaged skin would? (Photo)

August 29, 2014
Asked By:StillSouthern in Tucson, AZ

I have well cared for, sun protected, non smoking skin. I mentioned that while I don't want to look like someone else, dramatic improvement would be good. The doctor said I would not get as much improvement in the neck area as someone with thinner, more wrinkled, damaged skin would. And showed me picture examples. This is disappointing and doesn't seem like it could be correct? And I have a short neck I guess so will still have fat under there? Things that make you go hmm..
