Does Tummy Tuck Affect Life Span?

A tummy tuck and breast enlargement will not affect your lifespan. It most likely will significantly improve your quality of life however.

This is an interesting concern.  I have had a number of patients that I have performed mommy makeovers who have been concerned about this issue.  In short, the answer to the question is NO!  Life span is not at all hindered by this type of surgery.  A patient's overall pre-surgical health is important determining factor in determining whether a patient is good candidate for this procedure.  I recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle before and after the surgery.  It is my hope that mommy makeover surgeries will enhance a patient's lifestyle and restore the body to pre-pregnancy shape.

I consider abdominoplasty one of the most physiologically significant cosmetic operations.  The risks are significant and the convalescence significant as well.  Nevertheless, in a properly selected and prepared patients, the results are usually worth the investment.  Once recovered from the operation, it will not affect the length of your life.
