Want to rid myself of extra fat in the waist and stomach area: I am a 72 year old female.

February 13, 2018
Asked By:sparkyvoncruger in Seattle, WA

I'm in good health and look a lot younger than my age. My issue is that I was always petite (4'10-1/2", averaged around 90-95 lbs. most of my adult life). I quit smoking in my mid-40's and shortly thereafter went through menopause. During this time and thereafter I gained weight and fat, mainly in my stomach and waist area. Would cool sculpting and then a tummy tuck be my best action plan? I want to fit better in my clothes.
