At age 75 am I too old for tummy tuck or lipo?

There are no age limits for elective cosmetic procedures. As long as you are healthy and can obtain medical clearance you would at least qualify for consideration. One caveat regarding age is that of tissue elasticity. As one ages tissues become less responsive thus the results of cosmetic procedures can be somewhat limited based on the condition of the tissue being operated on. Healing can affected as well.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Your
age is certainly not a contraindication to having a tummy tuck. There are a
number of factors that are more important:  Your general health, individual anatomy,
realistic expectations, and a full understanding of the benefits as well as the
potential problems that can occur with the procedure.
 
I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with.
You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. If you decide to
undergo the procedure, I would suggest a medical clearance from your primary
physician before proceeding with a tummy tuck.

No, 75 is not too old for a tummy tuck! The most important factor when determining if someone is a good candidate for surgery is their overall health. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate you fully during the consultation to make sure that you are a good candidate for surgery.
