Can a Tummy Tuck Be Done During Menopause?

I would estimate that at least half of the women who undergo a tummy tuck are probably post-menopausal. So there is no influence whatsoever of menopause on having tummy tuck surgery. Whether fat returns to the abdominal area is influenced by one's overall weight and diet control. There is no evidence that it shifts weight gain to other body areas.
