I am seriously considering TT, Lipo, and BBL due to excess belly skin from Weight loss and Two C-section. I am 5 months post op from sleeve surgery. How long do I have to wait to have the above procedures? I am 60lbs lighter, though it's my desire to lose 15lbs more but I am totally happy with myself. Current weight is 165lbs, desired weight is 150lbs, Height is 5'3. I will appreciate your feedback- with details. Thank you.
