Just curious, how long did you wait to have plastic surgery?

Just wondering because I have read so many different things. I thought you need to be at goal for a certain amount of time to let your body settle before getting into plastic surgery.

Just interested on everyone's experience and thoughts! ;)

I have heard that too.. my year will be in dec.. Im hoping to have it done then.. Im only 29lbs from my goal wt... and 7mo out.. so in the next 5mo I should be stable and at my goal wt..

I was sleeved July 12, 2012. Just had panni done on July 30. My surgeon suggested i see his partner for skin removal when i saw him for my 8 month check up. And the surgeon wanted me to wait til i hit the one year mark so after all the insurance requirements that's about where it took me to. Now i have to start saving up for boobs ;)

1 year my wieght plateaued and i was able to maintain it for 6 months straight

I had my sleeve done may 28 ,2012 and plastics (lbl, muscle tightening, inner thigh lift, outer thigh hip lipo, BL with aug) done July 26,2013. I lost 90 lbs and platued there for 5 months. I was 25lbs away from my goal "weight " but was in the size I wanted to be in. Sooo I was happy where I was size wise before plastics. I have went down another size in jeans (29 now) and can fit in a size small shirt.

It is recommended to wait at least a year so you are not waisting money and not ending up with the best results.
