I had a tummy tuck 25 years ago and lipo stomach 12yrs ago. My surgeon burns to make scar tissue to keep the lipo stronger….Dr Sproule….would now like to have tummy tuck again and am a healthy 70yrs old. What do you think?

Darby,

I don’t know what you mean by “my surgeon burns to make scar tissue to keep the lipo stronger”.

I have no opinion on whether or not you should have another tummy tuck at 70 years old. The only other instance that I know, of a person having a tummy tuck over 65 years old is the following post. 67 Year Old woman Has Pain And Swelling 2 Months After Tummy Tuck.

Sorry I can’t advise or help.
Good luck, Tanner
