I'm a 69 year old female - can I still have a tummy tuck and arm lift if I still have 40 lbs to lose... I just can't lose the weight but so unhappy with large arms and abdomen hanging

Answer: Too old for a tummy tuck and arm lift? Thank you for your question. You are never "too old" to have a procedure that will make you feel better about yourself. Age alone is not a deciding factor in choosing to have elective surgery. As long as you do not have any underlying health conditions that might make anesthesia recovery or would healing more difficult, I'd say go for it. I always recommend that my patients get as close to their goal weight as is possible before having a body contouring procedure. This will give you the best possible result. It is important to note that your goal weight should be a weight that you feel confident you will be able to maintain.

Answer: Age and cosmetic surgery Good morning!Age is not a real factor when considering cosmetic surgery- health status is. I have seen women your age and older who are healthier than many thirty year olds. If you are in great health and continue to lose your weight your are working on, with appropriate medical clearance from your internist there should be no hinderance to surgery.I hope this helps.
