How soon can you get a BBL after a gastric bypass?

Follow-up surgeries after gastric bypass are typically performed about 6 to 18 months after surgery once the patient has lost all his/her weight and has adapted to lifestyle changes. You do not want to have the BBL too soon as continued weight loss will negatively affect the results. I would recommend clearance from the bariatric surgeon before having the BBL.

Dear Straightforward27296,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a BBL, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You should be as close to your goal weight as possible, before surgery, for best results. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

It seems to me like you’re missing a very important step here.

That step is weight loss.

After gastric bypass those who are successful need to be assessed as weight loss patients.

Massive weight loss patients typically do not make for good BBL candidates.

Instead patients with massive weight loss typically do much better for body lift procedures, they lift, arm lifts and breast lift procedures.

Ideal candidates for the BBL procedure are typically those with modest amounts of excess fat and tight skin.

Weight loss patients are typically the opposite.

Best,
