It's a quality of life issue, not quantity, but it is very often necessary to the patient's psychological well being. If she's in good health, one particular Thai surgeon, Dr. Preecha, has quite a bit of experience at performing the surgery on elderly patients safely and effectively. Most SRS surgeries are performed between the ages of 30 and 50, but younger and older do occur.
