I have had "smiley" surgeries and now have a fatty hangover. I am not overweight but appear so with my fat stomach. I'm 63; am I too old for a tummy tuck?
Answer: Too old for a tummy tuck? If you are physically healthy, and your cardiogram, stress test and physical exam and blood tests are OK, chances are you are still a good candidate for a tummy tuck. A top surgeon will go over with you what risks are associated with the procedure at your age with your general health.

Answer: Best weight to have a TT Thank you for your question.Yes it is possible to have this procedure at your age. But first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Answer: At 63, Am I Too Old to Have Tummy Tuck? Thank you for the question. Your age is absolutely not a contraindication to tummy tuck surgery; assuming you are in good health and a good candidate for the procedure you may have an excellent outcome with the procedure. In my practice, I would ask that you obtain “medical clearance” from the doctors who know you best, prior to proceeding. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. You may find the attached link, dedicated to tummy tuck surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Age for Tummy Tuck Age is not as important as the remainder of your health history. You'll need to be fit to have this surgery enough to recovery from it. Unless you have major medical conditions and if you can tolerate a normal amount of exercise you're probably able to have this surgery. Nonetheless, you'll need a few labs and an EKG prior to your surgery. If you have other illnesses sometimes we'll request the aid of a cardiologist or some form of medical specialist to clear and prepare you for surgery.
