Abstract
Acquired cutis laxa is a rare disease. Owing to few reports on the condition, no statistical
data have been produced. Cutis laxa is characterized by drooping skin, caused by decreased
levels of dermal elastin, leading to reduced skin elasticity. The disease usually
emerges on the neck or trunk and spreads throughout the body; however, it rarely involves
the extremities.[2] Moreover, cases localized to the face are rare. The objective of this clinical case
report was to highlight this unusual disease in a 24-year-old female, with localization
on the face and neck. The patient underwent surgery for treatment of bilateral ear
lobe and eyelid skin laxity.
