The only limitations to the time between your consultation and tummy tuck or those necessary to prepare for surgery. Limitations may be the amount of time available from your surgeon, Time for preoperative work up et cetera. Importantly, there is no cooling off were waiting period necessary after your consultation.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in tummy tuck/abdominoplasty.

I wish you the best.

Dr. Gabbay.

Assuming that you are in good health, it will really just depend on your surgeon's availability and how fast you can get the necessary medical tests completed. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Tummy tucks are popular procedures, and this is a busy time of year for plastic surgeons.  Generally, a wait of a couple of weeks is necessary between the consultation and the procedure.  Best with your upcoming tummy tuck.

Hi, thank you for your question.  Once you have decided on a surgeon (you may want to have more than one consultation to find the best surgeon for you), it will depend only on the schedule of your surgeon and the time to get any pre-operative clearance (depending on your age & medical problems possibly labs, ekg etc). Best of luck in your search!

Hi, Dailey2748.The wait time between consultation and surgery date depends on each surgeon.  Most plastic surgeons who are busy and well-regarded will have at least couple weeks of wait time.  Please choose your plastic surgeon carefully.  Check for his/her credentials and make sure that he/she is board-certified by ABPS. Review your plastic surgeon's photo gallery and discuss your goals and find out if you are a good candidate for tummy tuck.  It is important to be informed about your surgical procedure/recovery as well as feeling comfortable with your surgery and surgeon.Best regards.
