Am I too old to get a tummy tuck? Abdominoplasty for women over 50s

Mature women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s are getting tummy tuck plastic surgery because they are healthier and more functional than ever before. Older women want to look as good as they feel, no matter their age. 

Just take a look at Kathy Jacobes, 57, the Sports Illustrated Bikini Model, and how great she looks at her age. There are many more of these stars, including Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, Brooke Shields, Gwyneth Paltrow, and many more, who know that life is about enjoying yourself at every age. 

Tummy tucks enable older women to wear more fitted clothes and to be more physically active and free. Senior women, whether they are married, divorced, or widowed, want to feel good about their bodies and themselves, regardless of their significant others. 

Removal of excess abdominal hanging skin, stretch marks, and tightening the abdominal muscles gives all women who have had pregnancies a flat and firm tummy, which is more functional.

Dr. Sean Younai, who has been a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, says that in his experience, older women are more mature and thus more reasonable in their expectations, as well as more attentive to pre- and post-op instruction. Therefore, older women tend to do better during tummy tuck recovery.

Key requirements for tummy tuck over 50: 

  1. Good health with well-managed medical conditions.
  2. Being motivated and having reasonable expectations of what they want to achieve with body contouring.
  3. Having a good support structure for tummy tuck recovery.

Challenges with tummy tuck recovery for older women are that some don’t realize that their body does not respond and heal as well as younger women, so they sometimes tend to overdo their activities. Senior women need to be more patient and give themselves more time to get back to their routine activities and social life!
