Either whole body lift or lower or upper body lift, are these too big surgery for someone over 70yo? How old is limit for having these procedures with general anesthesia?
Answer: Body Lift - Age impact The most important details for safety with surgery is your health -and not your age. These surgeries are not really stressful to your heart so it really depends on really your overall health. Definitely get a medical evaluation "clearance" for surgery from your primary physician. In our office, that "clearance" anesthesia requires of everyone over age 40. Best Wishes!!

Answer: Age not a factor, medical history is The age is not critical factor but the medical health is. You will need to be cleared by your family doctor or internal medicine. If you have any cardiac issues then you will have to be cleared by your cardiologist as well. The body lift can be done in 2 stages: the lower body can be done in about 2-3 hours and then the upper body lift can be done in 2-3 hours.

Answer: Is body lift surgery too big surgery for someone over 70 years old? Thank you for your query. If you are in otherwise good health, body lifts can be done at your age with acceptable risks, but in multiple sessions. I do skin excisions and contouring of the anterior part of the stomach in the first setting, for instance, and do the back a few weeks later. I do not combine procedures to keep the recovery safe and comfortable. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Is there an age limit for surgery If you are in good health and a good candidate for the procedure you still can be considered for a body lift. Your board certified plastic surgeon may require medical clearance or certain preoperative tests or labs to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
