Re: Re: Question for the young folks

August 6, 2003

My surgeon, plastics guy, and exercise instructor ALL told me that I could

exercise till the cows came home and it wouldn't do a THING for skin tone.

Exercise will only effect the muscles as far as toning goes. Skin is

dependent on a lot of things, hereditary, amount of years you spent as an

obese person. When I had my plastics done the surgeon was really concerned

because I had absolutely NO skin elasticity left. He said it was very thin.

I asked if there was anything I could/have done to help........he said

nothing than having been born with different skin!! P.
