Cosmetic surgery age limit
Too old for a tummy tuck cosmetic surgery?
I have done tummy tucks on patients in their 50’s and they have done great.
It is critical that they be in excellent physical health and that they are very motivated to recover well and will do what it takes to participate in that recovery.
See excellent board certified plastic surgeons and be sure your own doctor feels you are healthy for this surgery. (Richard P. Rand, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
58 is not too old for a cosmetic surgery
Good job. If you are at or near your goal weight and have maintained it for several months it is time to look into a TT. Your overall health is the determining factor. If you are healthy and do not smoke you will be just fine.

You might want to get a good complete physical exam if you have not had one in awhile (a good idea whether or not you are going to have surgery). I have done TTs on women in their fifties and sixties that did wonderfully. (Lori H. Saltz, MD, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
No, definitely not. As it is often said, “Age is just a number”. It’s not the number that is important, it is the status of your health that counts. I have performed tummy tucks on many patients in their 50’s and 60’s and even one very young 72 year old. (who did beautifully, I might add)
Congrats on the weight loss! Be sure to select a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has a lot of experience with this procedure and who’s provides the kind of results you are looking for. (Daniel P. Markmann, MD, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)
Cosmetic surgery age limit before tummy tuck
If you are in good health, have a lax abdominal wall with loose skin and are reasonably close to a respectable weight, then a tummy tuck may be an appropriate choice for you – with your age of 58 not being relevant. Many women in their 60’s and even 70’s do pursue this procedure. You should contact a reputable board certified plastic surgeon who can provide you with more specific information and recommendations. (Steven Turkeltaub, MD, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon)
You are definitely not too old for a tummy tuck, as long as your overall health status is good. I would recommend that you reach your goal weight (if you haven’t already) prior to having the procedure performed. My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board-certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship. (Craig S. Rock, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
Cosmetic surgery age limit after abdominoplasty
Your absolute age does not make you a good or bad candidate for a tummy tuck. If you are in good health, don’t use tobacco products, and are at a stable weight, you probably are a pretty good candidate. Your best bet is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure. (Sam Jejurikar, MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)
Have you reached your goal weight, or do have a few more pounds to go? A tummy tuck is an excellent operation for anyone regardless of age as long as they are in good physical shape.

It is important to have reached your goal weight ( or come very close to it) and have maintained your weight for several months before proceeding with surgery, to ensure that you achieve the best results. (Beverly Friedlander, MD, Short Hills Plastic Surgeon)
Many of my tummy tuck patients are older than 55 – If you are healthy with good exercise tolerance, than a tummy tuck can be a life changing procedure. (Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
58 years of age is not too old for you to undergo a tummy tuck assuming that you are otherwise in good health. If you can lose additional weight or if you have not plateaued in your weight loss, it would be advisable to wait until then for your tummy tuck. Congratulations on your weight loss! (John Whitt, MD, Louisville Plastic Surgeon)
Chronological age for elective body contouring is of minimal importance if you are in good health and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Other important factors are your BMI, smoking status, underlying anatomy and any concurrent medical problems. (Brian Klink, MD, Vacaville Plastic Surgeon)
