Title: Skin elasticity
Post by: notyouraverageguy on January 17, 2014, 11:59:26 AM
I know some factors doctors look at for surgery are size and shape of chest and skin elasticity.
But what exactly is elasticity and how can you tell what kind you have?

Says premature aging. Aging itself without being premature can cause this.
I'm guessing someone who is 20 is going to have more elasticity than someone who is 40.

Thank you Jay. I'm not small, but I'm hoping I have good elasticity :/

I think if you're not small enough for keyhole or peri, it doesn't matter much. If you are, a surgeon would be able to tell you if you are a good candidate for it.
