Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  If you are in good health and can obtain medical clearance from your primary physician, then this timing should be safe.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
