At 67 Am I Too Old for Tummy Tuck?

kit1945
Over past 2 years I have lost 75 lbs and have stabilized past 8 months. Have a large amount of flab hanging down that I think is causing my back to hurt. I am 67, weigh 165, 5'3". Blood pressure is controlled by low dosage of blood pressure meds. Only other meds I take are for restless legs at night and meds to help keep my weight off. I have never smoked. Otherwise healthy and active. Am I too old for a tummy tuck?
