Can I have a mommy makeover at 61 years old after aortic dissection and aneurysm repair? (Photo)

Providing that you are in stable condition and your aneurysm is under control it would be possible to do your surgeries. I would suggest doing it in the hospital with at least an overnight stay. Doing these surgeries separately (breast first, abdomen to follow) would be wise to avoid possible complications/risks. In person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon and good coordination between your plastic surgeon, PCP, cardiologist and vascular surgeon is needed. Good luck.

Your current, not past health is most important to determine if a mommy makeover would be safe for you though all surgery carries risk. To that end, I would ask your vascular thoracic surgeon and your primary care physician to weigh in on relative risks. If they feel you are a reasonable candidate for a #mommymakeover then likely your plastic surgeon would also feel similarly. Make sure you find the best plastic surgeon with the most experience in your area. See link on how to do this.

mixter53.  Sounds like you have been through a lot, but are doing well. As long as your medical doctor clears you for this operation that can take between 4 to 6 hours, there should be no other contraindications. However, are you taking anticoagulants and if so, can they be temporarily stopped for the surgery? All questions for your medical doctors. It appears from your photo that you only require breast lift/reduction, Tummytuck with liposuction and scar revision of your sternal scars. Discuss all medical history once you select your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck

Your cardiologist or cardio vascular surgeon would have to approve you for the cosmetic surgery.  You have to consider the risks involved for a procedure that is a desire and not a need.  Your safety is of utmost importance.Schedule an in-office or Skype consultation with a ABPS board certified plastic surgeon to initiate the collaboration with your medical specialists to determine your candidacy and staging of the procedures.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. As long as you discuss your medical history in detail with your plastic surgeon, you should be able to come to a reasonable conclusion and plan to achieve your goals. Perhaps if you are wanting several things done, it might be best to do them in stages over time rather than all at once. A prolonged anesthesia may not be the safest thing for you. Maybe do an abdominal procedure and then 3-6 months later, the breast procedure. With the chest scar, I would not consider revising that until at least a year after it has been present. And of course, you would obviously have to get medical clearance for all these procedures from your regular doctor and other specialists. Above all, make sure you get a consultation with a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Safety is your number one priority and you do not want to cut corners or costs with this type of thing.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Please talk to your primary doctor to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Thank you for the question. Your age considered alone is not a contraindication to mommy makeover surgery.
 Mommy makeover procedures can be done safely for patients with a variety of different “medical conditions”. Careful evaluation and treatment of the medical condition is necessary prior to determining the appropriate candidates for the tummy tuck procedure.  The physicians who know your situation best would be best suited  to discuss your suitability for the procedure and the potentially increased risks/ complications that you should consider.
 
Also, please make sure you are seeking consultation with  well experienced board-certified  plastic surgeons who preferably work with board-certified anesthesiologists.
I hope this helps.  Best wishes.

The first place to begin is by discussing your wishes for these procedures with your specialist.  Medical clearance will be necessary.  Even if it is granted, you are still a high risk patient. When considering surgeons, be sure they are board certified and fully aware of your medical history.  You will likely need any procedure elected to be performed in the hospital with close monitoring after surgery.

Thank you for your question. I'll be honest with you. I, and I'm sure many other plastic surgeons would be scared to death (no pun) to operate on you. Having said that, I know that there are surgeons out there who would operate on anyone at any time. Be wary of these surgeons.  If you do decide to proceed, make sure the surgery is performed in a hospital, not a surgery center, not an office operating room.  You would be taking a risk, at least mitigate that risk by having it performed in a setting where every available resource is at the ready should disaster strike. In my mind, its not worth it. You have already escaped death once after a dissecting thoracic aneurysm...why risk it.. You may remember that old margarine commercial..
