I am 19 (male) and I have always struggled with weight my whole life. I lost about 70 pounds and realized i still have a spare tire around my stomach and the rest of my body is skinny to the point where I look sickly. Now I keep yo- yoing my weight because I am unhappy with how I look. Is it worth getting the tummy tuck at 19? I was hoping I could just get lipo, but it is skin. I am very insecure and it ruins my posture. I often wear sweatshirts to hide my body.

Answer: Am I a candidate? Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! As you are an adult, you can elect to have a tummy tuck if you want one. It is recommended that you are at a healthy weight and are stable at that weight for about six months. This will allow your surgeon to optimize your results. Liposuction of trouble areas can also be added during the tummy tuck. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Youngest age for tummy tuck? Congrats on your weight loss. Your age is not a factor keeping you from having a tummy tuck surgery, your overall health is. As long as you are healthy, you can go through with this surgery and it will be very beneficial for you at this age. I haven't seen your pictures but from your description, I believe you are a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery along with liposuction. Please make sure you are close to your target weight before the surgery as possible for the best results. I believe it's worth going through with this surgery for your self-esteem as well. Removing the excess fat and skin from your abdomen will make you look great and improve your self-esteem tremendously.
