Yes you can go for it with the surgery at this age if you can successfully pass the pre aesthetics checkup PAC. Which involve check up of your heart blood liver kidney urine test and all important vital organs including a clearance from physician and cardiologist this is all these things are optimum and you have a good exercise tolerance then you can definitely go for the surgery at this age and if there is any problem with any major system of your body then you might consider going for Risk benefit analysis and then decide on the basis of that whether or not you should go for the surgery.
