The following are factors that should be considered by the surgical team prior to and during the procedure.  THE PATIENT'S AGE--With aging, both skin and muscle tissue lose their tone and elasticity. Metabolism also slows, and circulation may be impaired. All of these factors lengthen healing time.  THE PATIENT'S WEIGHT--In obese patients of any age, excess fat at the wound site may prevent securing a good closure. In addition, fat does not have a rich blood supply, making it the most vulnerable of all tissues to trauma and infection.  THE PATIENT'S NUTRITIONAL STATUS--Deficiencies in carbohydrates, proteins, zinc, and vitamins A, B, and C can impair the healing process.
The Effects of Aging on Skin. Your skin changes with age. That's about a lifetime of sun exposure, personal habits such as smoking and diet, and changes that happen with normal aging.As you get older, you may notice your skin isn't as smooth or tight as it once was. It may also be drier, more fragile, and thinner than it used to be.ith age, skin may also bruise more easily, due to loss of support around blood vessel walls that happens with age. Below the skin's surface, losing fat in your cheeks, temples, chin, nose, and around your eyes may loosen skin and give your face a leaner look.
