after my lbl

When i have my lbl in May how much time will i have to wait before my stage two. (tl,bl).

I waited about 3 months. Could have scheduled a little sooner but I wanted some time to get back to the gym for a few weeks before I was out of commission again. Really it's up to your Dr on when he will allow you to schedule your next surgery.

thanks.

Depends on your surgeon and you.

I had lbl, tt (anchor cut), brachioplasty, and bl/br at the same time.

I'm having thighs done in a couple more weeks, so about 14 weeks apart. Would have had augmentation done at this second surgery as well if I decided to go that route.

My surgeons recommended waiting at least 12 weeks in between to ensure that I was healing well before going in for a second round. However, I've heard of some on here who have it all done at once, or done in 2 stages in the same week. So I guess, as I said at the outset, it depends on your surgeon and you.

My surgeon originally told me that he prefers to wait for at least 6 months so I was surprised at my recent 4th month appointment that I'm so well healed that he said I'm ready for stage 2 now.

There is a plus for waiting at least 6 months to a year - your body is changing over time as it heals and the swell from hell dissipates. If you are patient and wait you might find things that you want tweaked early on have resolved and other areas that early one looked fine with the swelling are now loose and need a tweak.
