I have a 90-year-old relative - extremely sharp, but with some minor illnesses (mild diabetes). She recently lost a good deal of weight and would like to have the excess sagging skin under her chin removed. At her age is this feasible?
A:
It may be safe to do a minor procedure on a 90 year old person, in relatively good health, under local anesthesia, if careful evaluation reveals no contra-indications. A clearance from her family physician would be preferable. It is actually a case by case situation and not for everyone.
