PS but not at goal weight yet ...question
I had the DS and only lost 65lbs. I'm 5'1" and made it down to 140. After being weight stable there for 2 yrs I had my PS. Depending on clothing I can wear 7/9 or 8/10s. Mostly in medium tops after my breast lift.

I tell my patients that they should be within 10 pounds of what they want their weight to be. If a person lost that or more weight after their surgery, they would possibly have more excess but I can usually remove that in a revision under local anesthetic in office operating room.
A few pounds should not be a big deal, I know my Plastic Surgeon wants his patients to be at their desired weight since he is such a perfectionist. I have seen plenty of people who use, plastic surgery as a weight loss tool, having to go back several times for revisions. Personally I don't have the stomach for all that surgery and healing time...I was in the normal weight category when I had my resent surgery, but I know my surgeon said my thighs were still a little heavy...so you can't really go by the scale but more how you look...
