Is a Second Tummy Tuck Allowed 20 Years Later?

dancing ocean
I had a tummy tuck and hysterectomy when I was 40 due a bladder problem. The results were great. Over the years, I have developed "apple cheeks" above the outer edges of the incision. Nothing helps. Can I have this performed again 20 years later? It is also causing an incontinence issue.
