I am 61 years old and considering a full abdominoplasty fairly soon. Is there an age cut off for this type of surgery? I am in excellent health and has been working out regularly in the last 30+ years. I am toned everywhere except for my bulging stomach. Thanks.
Answer: Safe Tummy Tucks It's not chronological age that matters, it is your health. You sound good. But it is true that a tummy tuck is a big operation and it has significant risks. For instance, if you are on hormonal therapy, it can increase your risk of blood clots which can even be fatal.

Answer: Cut-off Age for a Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question regarding whether there is an age cut-off for a tummy tuck. The good news is that there is no specific age limit for this type of surgery. What matters most is your overall health, not your age. I've performed plastic surgery on healthy patients in their 80s, and at the same time, I’ve had to deny surgery for some unhealthy 20-year-olds.

Answer: Cut off age for tummy tuck Good Question. The main determinant of eligibility for this procedure is your overall health and fitness to undergo surgery. There is no absolute cut off for advanced age for tummy tuck. Consult with your surgeon and your primary care physician. No surgeon will take you to the operating room if they think you are a poor risk. We all want happy, healthy results! Remember, make sure your surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic surgeons. Best of luck to you.Matthew C Camp MD

Answer: Tummy Tuck Age As long as you are physically healthy and mentally stable, there is no "cut-off age" for tummy tucks. However, the older you get, generally speaking the longer your recovery may take. But this, of course, is a very general statement and it relies more on the health of the individual patient.
