Mommy makeover - will my age complicate things and make healing more difficult?

Trustworthy952857Jan 27, 2026

I just turned 70yrs. I have Mommy makeover scheduled for March. I'm concerned about healing, pain. My board certified surgeon said I'll be fine. Will my healing time be longer then a younger woman. I'm considering canceling. Afraid of complications
