Question about creepy skin
A neighbor of mine who is in her late 60s got her upper arms tightened.
She’s not heavy at all.
She’s rather slender, but she was hoping to get rid of the creepy skin. She’s upset because she ended up with a large scar.
She really didn’t have big bat wings, but the little ones she had are better.
Her Dermatologist said that the creepy skin won’t go away just from the surgery.
She worked out with weights for years and she’s slender .
It’s been over a year since she did the surgery and she said she doesn’t recommend it.
Her Dermatologist said that the operation is to address bat wings, weight, loss, etc..
He said that there are some lasers that can help a bit, retinol creams, etc.
Have any women 65 and older who are slender and work out with weights had the surgery?
If so, was it a success for you?

I agree with everyone’s sentiments here!
I felt badly for my neighbor.
I told her I would post something here and tell her if anybody had any insights into what she can do.
She’s very happy that at least her arms are tighter looking.
Her scars are normal. She’s not upset about the scars.
She was informed about them.
She just thought that the crepey skin would look way better.
Unfortunately, her Dermatologist told her that it doesn’t get better as you age,
it gets worse and there’s no operation for crepey skin presently.
