Congratulations!: You need to plateau in your weight for several months. Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Good Candidates: I ask that my post bariatric patients wait at least 18 months after the weight loss surgery date, maintain a stable weight for at least 2 month, and have a BMI (body mass index) of less than 40. Be sure to consult with board certified plastic surgeons who specialize in body lifts following weight loss and get case-specific information catered to you and your goals. Best wishes!
