I want to go ahead with the surgery for a tummy tuck, I went for a consultation with some doctors some of them told me is not safe for a 50 y with BMI ABOUT 30 I am 33 BMI others told me no problem I can do it, and please advise me.
Answer: Is 50 years old safe to do a tummy tuck? Congratulations on deciding to undergo surgery! Patients who are bothered by excess skin and fat in their abdominal area, are at or close to their goal weight, and are in relatively good health are good candidates for tummy tucks. Tummy tuck candidates should be non-smokers and not be on any medication that would impair their ability to heal from the surgery. Patients often seek a tummy tuck after one or more pregnancies as well as significant weight loss. Changes in size and body contour caused by pregnancy or being overweight, or weight loss can affect skin elasticity and the tightness of abdominal muscles. These issues can be corrected with an abdominoplasty, helping patients regain a lean and well-contoured body shape. It is important to consult with a Board Certified Plastic to determine if this procedure is appropriate for you. Best of luck!

Answer: Is 50 Too Old For A Tummy Tuck? If you are in good health and get clearance for surgery you should be fine. I have had patients in their 60's and older who have done fine. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
