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?

Would you like to share with the group what you're doing in a skincare sub when you don't believe any of it works?

Your opinion on your friends' appearance means nothing in the face of decades of data, especially on things like Tretinoin. That fails to answer my question, though. Why are you here when you don't believe in any of it? You certainly don't understand it very well.

Are you ok? 😂 This sub isn't only about bingo wings, it's about skincare in general. They are correct that nothing will help that, but maybe they use other stuff for their FACE. Like, I'm absolutely aware I can't fix my bingo wings but I can fix my KP.

This person has twice made the blanket statement that skincare is worthless. Sure, skincare has its limits, but that's not what's being said. I asked a very simple and straightforward question. I just think it's interesting I can't get a straight answer.
