In agreement with Dr. Eppley, the answer depends on your general health, strength, mobility, and desire. My experience includes at least one woman in her eighties, who did extremely well. Tissue relaxation and increased compliance that develop with aging facilitate the procedure and your recovery. May want to secure the blessing of your primary care physician before proceeding.
I haven't completed a tummy tuck on a 73 year old yet, but have done so on a 68 year old. And she did famously. The age of the patient is not nearly as important as the health of the patient. If you are otherwise healthy, have normal respiratory and cardiac function, and want to have the procedure, you should be able to do so. I would recommend a full pre-op workup including an EKG, chest x-ray, and labs. If those items are normal, then best of luck.
