Answer: Cosmetic surgery post gastric sleeve If you are considering a cosmetic procedure after a gastric sleeve, you should wait until reaching maximal weight loss with maintenance of that particular weight. This is usually 12 to 18 months post op. It is very important that you take your vitamins as recommended by your bariatric surgeon and keep up with your daily protein requirement for healthy wound healing.

Answer: Wait a minimum of One year for Plastic surgery post Bariatric Surgery I would say minimum a year or once you have maintained your weight for 3 - 6 months (which could be over a year). It's better to wait. You don't want a tummy tuck (for example) while you are still losing weight, because the skin will get loose again as you lose more weight. If you get surgery at your lowest low, that too could be risky. You won't have the perfect smooth contouring that you want. You really need to figure out where your "steady" weight level is going to be before you have plastic surgery. Most bariatric surgeons have plastics surgeons they work with or can refer you to who they trust. Some bariatric surgeons perform body contouring procedures and that too can be a great option. These are long surgeries with a lot of skin being taken off. You don't want to pick a plastic surgeon known for nose jobs, to do a body contouring procedure. Either way congrats! The fact that you are getting the sleeve is going to be a huge step in the right direction.
