I am 66 year old female. I am in good health and workout 2 to 3 hours, 5 days per week. Lost about 87 pounds and have kept most off, over 30 years. I am 5ft 4.5 and 175LBS. Working on losing 20 more. Have lots of sagging skin, especially over the abdominal area, which appears to be the cause of back pain. Which procedure would be best to have the loose skin removed?

Answer: How old is too old to have body lift, mommy makeover or tummy tuck to remove loose skin - which procedure is best? Thank you for your question. With cosmetic surgery, there is no specific age limit. Your overall health and medical history is much more important. It sounds like you have worked hard and would get much improvement with an abdominal contouring procedure. As to which procedure would be right for you, that can only be determined by a consultation and exam. I suggest you schedule some consultations with local board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals and expectations.Best of luck!

Answer: How old is too old to have body lift, mommy makeover or tummy tuck to remove loose skin - which procedure is best? There is not an age limit on specific procedures. However, a patient's overall health and physical history will be evaluated and reviewed, before any procedures would be considered, since general anesthesia would be used for these procedures. Also, additional protocol such as labs, EKG or medical clearance from your primary care physician may be required prior to your surgical procedure.
