At what point in my weight loss should I begin exploring plastic surgery?

I was thinking t probably also depends on how much fat you have in the particular body part you want to operate on. For example, my legs are now at the stage where my thighs wouldn't touch if it weren't for the excess skin, whereas my "bingo wings" still have a bit of fat in them. I will probably try to keep losing until my BMI is at the low end of normal, so that I have a bit of buffer for regain. I expect to be there by the end of summer, so that might be a good time to begin my research.

I have been to several PS consultations and every one of them is a little different. some completely marked me up, no emotion, "cut you here, here, yadda-yadda, here's the price, if you book now, you will get a discount"... and the ones I really connected with really listened to what my needs were, gave me realistic goals to set for and provided me with a quote. For me, the discount mentioned "if I book right now" lessened the surgeon on my tier of preferred pros. regardless if they had amazing work. I didn't want someone to push me to make a decision based on money/fear. And another thing... there were surgeons who would talk to my husband instead of me... pissed me off.

This is not a decision that is to be made lightly. The one I ended up going with is extremely skilled and I happen to know some of his patients and he was not "cheap" either, he was reasonable. He made me feel comfortable in the room, realistic expectations and asked me what I expected to come from the process. My husband really liked him too. I may have to do multiple procedures, but at least my #1's are getting handled.
