Mommy Makeover at 63 years old?

If you are healthy then go for it, as long as your surgeon feels they can do it in under 5-6 hours. The combination of breast surgery and tummy tuck in one operation is done all the time.

Unless you are quite overweight, meaning that your tummy tuck would be a very large one, there shouldn’t be a problem undergoing a breast implant replacement with breast lift and tummy tuck at the same time, even if you are 63. I frequently operate on patients older than you are, and they do just fine.

Your surgeon can advise you more completely once you meet, but combining the procedures is usually best, because you recover from both surgeries at the same time, and you typically save a reasonable amount of money.

The recovery won’t be that much different than recovering from a tummy tuck alone. That will be the more painful procedure, and the one that makes it more difficult for you to move around. The breast surgery actually won’t hurt that much, and won’t really affect your activity levels the way the tummy tuck well. it is good to start walking even on the day of surgery to minimize problems. Your surgeon should be able to guide you about these things, but please don’t let your age stand in the way of obtaining the improvements that you are dreaming about.

Great question. While our average patient is usually in the late 30s or 40s, many people can achieve a nice flat abdomen in their 50s-60s and even 70s. As long as the patient's underlying health is good, mommy makeover surgery is well tolerated for older women.
We strongly encourage you to get up and walk around to help with circulation and recovery as soon as possible.

Fortunately 63 is considered young these days! When undergoing any surgery we will want to make sure that you are in good health. Disclosing all of your medical history and current medications is very important as well. Your surgeon will have you get medically cleared if not by him then by your primary care physician before undergoing any operation. You should be fine as long as all of those things line up. Once you become closer to 70 an invasive operation such as this does become more questionable. If you are thinking about possibly wanting surgery I would start looking into it, better late than never.

Thanks for your question. If you are healthy, you would need to be cleared for surgery by your physician. I would recommend having a proper consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

As long as you are relatively healthy, (labs would be done), there should be no reason you can’t have your breast implants removed and replaced along with an Abdominoplasty.
Recovery is not terrible, I recommend my patients have 2 weeks off to relax and heal. We would love to see you here at Smith Plastic Surgery for a consultation.

"Thank you for your question. Many healthy individuals in their 60s, and even older, successfully undergo combined surgeries like the Mommy Makeover. If you are in good health, with no significant medical conditions and have a good level of fitness, you could be a candidate for combined procedures.

Having both surgeries simultaneously offers the benefit of a single recovery period, which many patients find convenient. The recovery can be more challenging than either procedure done individually due to the combined effects on the body, but with proper preparation and post-operative care, it's manageable for most patients.

It's imperative to have a thorough evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon and possibly even a clearance from your primary care physician to ensure you're in optimal health for the surgery. They can provide guidance tailored to your unique medical history and needs."

Thank you for your question about having a mommy makeover at 63. Age isn't a contraindication for elective plastic surgery, but your overall health and any specific medical conditions could be. So, while you're 63, that doesn't mean you can't undergo plastic surgery. Before proceeding, a thorough medical assessment must be carried out to ensure you're fit for the procedures. I hope this helps to answer your question, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Hi & thanks for your question!
If you are in good health there is no reason why you can not have a mommy makeover. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question regarding having a mommy makeover at your specific age.

In my practice, I would require pre-admissions testing to determine if it is safe to proceed with surgery.

I encourage you to have an in person consultation with two or more experienced board-certified plastic surgeons in your area.
