I’m 60, have one 29-year old child and hate the way my waistline has disappeared. I work out a couple hours a day, most days, but my midsection just stays the same. Due to my age, is a tummy tuck best option or could liposuction or a mini tummy tuck help? I don’t have a ton of extra skin but there is some. I’m 5’6” and 124 pounds.

Answer: Due to my age (60) is a tummy tuck the best option? Hello @Grandriver, thank you for your question and showing your pictures. Yes, a tummy tuck combined with liposculture 360 can give you the results you want. I would recommend a modified mini lipectomy. I would also recommend liposculture as a body contouring procedure to define more your abdomen and waistline. Together, these procedures will give you a more youthful and slim appearance. I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will be able to assess your unique needs and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Liposuction only? Congrats! You look amazing at 60!!! Based on your pictures, I agree that it does not seem that you have a lot of excess skin. In this case, liposuction alone may be a good choice to improve the area of concern (waist line). However, you should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon that can closely evaluate your skin tone and laxity. Your overall health and active medical conditions are the most important when deciding if you are a good candidate for surgery rather than your age. Good luck!
