post-op skin care
I have a question about skin care, in particular, helping minimize
loose skin.
Obviously, there are a lot of factors contributing to loose skin,
such as age, amount of weight loss, previous sun damage to the skin
and so on. Are there things we can do to minimize this problem? Do
things like vitamin creams work (and which vitamins?). How about
alpha hydroxy cleaners?
Exercise is often touted, but are there particular exercises better
than others for this? swimming? walking?
How about stretch marks? Are topical creams effective? There is a
lot of people selling stuff on the net, but they all seem suspicious
to me.
Would an appointment with a dermatologist be in order? Before
surgery, 1 month post-op or when?
Thank you,
