Is 70 years old too old for tummy tuck or lipo?

Thank you for your question!  It's very interesting you asked this question.  It seems as though the population of those wanting aesthetic procedures is getting older and older.  Provided you are in good health and have been seen by your primary medical doctor, the chances of undergoing a tummy tuck and/or liposuction successfully are very high.  While the healing process my take more time, you can still benefit from the procedure and enjoy your new shape.  I just recently performed a Brazilian Butt Lift on a 68 and 67 year old woman!!  They did great and look great.  They have a zest for life and want to continue with an active lifestyle and continue the dating scene!  You just need to make sure your health is good and that you get a full work up including potentially an EKG, stress test, and whatever else your physician needs to determine your risk to undergo surgery.  I would say that you may be at an increased risk for blood clots that can be potentially life threatening, but there are methods to help prophylax against this from happening.  Please speak to your surgeon to inquire more about age and surgical procedures.  I hope this helps!!

Thanks for the question. There's no age limit or ideal age for Tummy Tuck. However, patients must be over 18 years of age.

Your health is definitely a bigger factor to consider than your age when it comes to tummy tuck surgery. If you are generally healthy both physically and mentally, you’re a candidate regardless of your age. Discuss your medical history and condition during your consultation with your surgeon. You’ll also be asked to do bloodwork and other routine lab tests to ensure you’re a suitable candidate.

Thank you for your question. Being 70 years old should not limit you from having a tummy tuck surgery. The most important factor is your overall health. If you are healthy, then you should be a candidate for surgery.

If your health is good, and you are a good candidate for the procedure, then being 70 years old is not prohibitive. You'll do just as well, and likely better than some of your younger cohorts. See attached web link for a 67 year old that had a TT and flew through it no problem. In fact, she came back to have her old silicone implants revised with a mastopexy. I hope this helps and thanks for sharing.
