How far ahead to schedule a tummy tuck?

October 11, 2022
Asked By:Pretty Please in Ardmore, Pennsylvania

42F 5'0" 145lbs I had my first consultation for a tummy tuck today. I was offered one surgery date in May. This makes me wonder how far in advance offices schedule. Does every patient want a December surgery date? If so, is it reasonable to try to find a booking for Dec 2023? I am very naive to this process so be gentle with me!
