Im 19 years old... Have had one baby and do not plan on having any more kids. Im considering having a tummy tuck cause of all the loose skin that has not gone. Im really not happy with my stomach right now and want it gone. I have tried excersing and dieting for 2 years now but nothing. Should i and am i too young to get a tummy tuck?
Answer: Tummy tuck age?
In your situation, having had only one child, I would suggest waiting on the tummy tuck if at all possible. If you're not planning on having children in the near future then proceeding with the surgery should be considered, given that it will significantly improve your quality of life (based on what you have described). Obviously taking this route may mean that further surgery may be required after you're done with pregnancies.
You will find that in the field of plastic surgery, every patient's situation is assessed based on their unique circumstances, making it difficult to give generalized advice.
It may benefit you to seek consultation with a well-trained/ethical/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon for advice.
Best wishes.

Answer: Am I too young for a tummy tuck at age 19?
You can have a tummy tuck, if you are juged to be a good candidate by a competent plastic surgeon. You are too young to have a tummy tuck but at age 19th you are also too young to have a streched abdomen which you find unatractive. Your abdomen will strech after another pregnancy. Make sure that you don't want to have another child in the near future.

Answer: Is 19 too young for a tummy tuck?
If you are done having children and feel strongly enough, there is no reason that you would not be a good candidate. I would agree with seeing a few Plastic Surgeons before moving forward so that you are confident in your decision and secure that your expectations with the surgery are in line with what you can actually accomplish in the long run.
I hope that helps!

Answer: 19 is not too young for a tummy tuck but should be carefully deliberated.
If, at 19, your family is complete and your surgeon feels you would benefit from a tummy tuck, there is no reason not to proceed. However, should you change your mind about more children (you're just 19), it would be better to have that operation after all the family has arrived.

Answer: 19 years old is not too young for a tummy tuck.
You are not too young for a tummy tuck. It is not a great idea to have the procedure if you are planning on having a baby in the near future. Your stomach may not return to normal after having a child.
