Has anyone gotten a plastics consult before they were in maintenance?
I'm about 6 lbs from my goal, although I have a feeling I might be happier with more like another 20 lbs gone and will probably try to keep losing past the official goal. I'm really tempted to go see a plastic surgeon now just to get any idea of what he thinks I'll need done and how much it might cost...even though I couldn't do it until fall 2013 probably.
Its probably just my impatience speaking to want to go see someone now. I guess I want him to be able to predict how much/what my loose skin will end up looking like if I take off more weight. Has anyone done this and found it helpful?

5'9" All weight lost post-op. Goal weight determined by body composition testing.
Ive had a couple consults and have already scheduled my PS way before I can even dream of maintenance (im secretly hoping I'll just lose 50 lbs of skin - NOT!).
I dont think it hurts to start now - by the time you meet a few surgeons, think about what you want to have done, save some money, and schedule your surgery - you'll have the last 6 lbs gone and into maintenance for sure :)

Hi!
I just had a face and neck lift a month ago. My PS said at my follow up a couple of weeks ago that he could do the remaining work (BL, extended tummy tuck, upper body lift) with good results whenever I want from my current weight, and I'm about 10 lbs. from goal. My PS was Jason Leedy, btw, and I am VERY happy with the results from the face and neck lift. I think Dr. Ben-Meir suggests waiting until 12-18 months out (I'm nearly there), so my plan is to have the remaining work done this winter when the weather's bad - won't want to go running in the snow anyhow!
BTW, this was also consistent with what I heard from the other PS's with whom I consulted. Seems like once you're that close it probably isn't a big deal.
