How long after surgery for plastics?
How long should I wait for plastics? I know I have to get these arms and legs tucked because they are so wiggly and out of controll! Of course I would love the TT and breast lift but save those for another day......
Im 6 months out and have lost 100 lbs. I am 30 lbs away from my goal weight. Im assuming that its going to take at least 3 months to hit goal but then how long do I need to wait until I adjust my skin to match my body?
How long did you wait to get plastics?
What is too soon? 1 yr post or 18 months post op? Im just curious about my legs and arms......

Plastic surgeons recommend 18 months OR 6 months after your weight loss has stabilized.
They want your body settled so you dont lose more and get more floppy skin or gain a little and it feel uncomfortable.
I waited the exact 18 months and my fluxuation was within 3 pounds and i had my anchor tummy tuck and breast lift 2 weeks ago. I am going in for my arms in September

All surgeons seem to be a litle different you will find and will have their standard answer for you.
Personally I had my first round at 15 months and my second round just over 2 years from WLS.
I reached my doctors goal at a little over 10 months. My goal was 5lbs less.
Hope your search is stressfree and full of great results!

I had my TT five years after gastric bypass surgery; I wanted to be stable, weigh wise, that's the reason I waited this long. I finally had the TT last week and I feel really good. No major problems. I am sure other people will say is too long but in my case I wanted to be sure my weigh wasn't going to change and that my gastric bypass was successful.
Good Luck to you
