Tummy tuck - Perimenopausal?

Do your tummy tuck whenever you want to have surgery. We still slowly change with time, but avoid weight gain as you age.

Whether to get a tummy tuck now or wait until after menopause depends on your personal goals and how perimenopause is affecting your body. Since hormonal changes can lead to weight fluctuations, fat redistribution, and skin elasticity changes, some surgeons might suggest waiting until your weight stabilizes to ensure long-lasting results. However, if excess skin and muscle separation are significant concerns and you feel ready for the procedure, there’s no strict rule that says you must wait.
If you're in good health and have realistic expectations about potential body changes in the coming years, a tummy tuck could still be worthwhile. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle post-surgery will help preserve your results, regardless of menopause. A consultation with a board-certified surgeon can help determine if now is the right time or if waiting might be a better option based on your individual case.
