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: 70 is not necessarily too old for an abdominoplasty in body contouring. In abdominoplasty is physiologically substantial so your overall health is important. If you are healthy there's no reason why you can't have an abdominoplasty and brachioplasty.

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.
