No set number: But probably smart to wait about a month.

Cosmetic surgey post: There is no magic number but i would think 4-6 weeks would be sufficient assuming you had a normal recovery from your gallbladder surgery.www.beautybybrueck.com.

Surgeon's choice: It depends upon your overall health and how you did after your prior surgery.

Usually minimal time: Following endoscopic gallbladder surgery a patient is back to normal quickly. Following traditional incisions it may take a while to feel like you want more surgery.

Depends...: Cosmetic surgery is considered “elective”; patients should be at their best state of health prior to proceeding. In other words, you will want to have be completely recovered, in good physical and mental health, psychosocially stable... For some patients this may be as early as one month after gallbladder surgery; some patients will need more time. Best wishes.
