Abdominoplasty After Age 50 in Raleigh, NC*

This 56 year old woman had two children born over 20 years ago. She had weight fluctuations throughout much of her post partum life but began a diet and exercise program and attained a healthier weight. Her problem was loose skin and a lax abdominal wall that seemed to belie her new found fitness. She did not feel comfortable in workout clothes and tight fitting dresses. She underwent an abdominoplasty with some liposuction of the flanks. THis involved a diastasis repair which tightens the loose covering over the abdominal muscle and flattens the belly. Dr Lyle uses Exparel- a long lasting numbing medication which improves post op pain management. She recovered very well and was back in the gym within 3 months. She was delighted with her new slimmer abdomen and now found renewed motivation to maintain her physique. Many woman come concerned that they be to old for a tummy tuck. Provided you are in good health- there are no real limitations on age that determines effectiveness of tummy tuck. Mommy makeovers can performed even on grand mommies!
