I have many women in their 60's that have had a tummy tuck procedure. See the before and after photos of a 62 year old woman in the attached website link. As long as you are in good health you should have no problem. Be sure to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good luck!
Your age is certainly not a contraindication to having a tummy tuck. There are anumber of factors that are more important: Your general health, individual anatomy,realistic expectations, and a full understanding of the benefits as well as thepotential problems that can occur with the procedure. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. If you decide to undergo the procedure, I would suggest a medical clearance from your primary physician before proceeding with a tummy tuck.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
