When and at what weight should I get a body lift? Should I go ahead with lipo now? I've scheduled a lift in 9 months.

Congratulations on your weight loss.   Most of us recommend that our patients who are considering a body lift be as close as possible to their ideal body weight.  Additionally, we prefer for patients to be weight stable for at least 3 months.   If the liposuction makes you feel better about yourself prior to the body lift, then you should do it.  Be advised that most patients don't lose a significant amount of weight following liposuction.  Best of luck on your continued weight loss journey. 

Thank you for your question. I usually recommend that you get down to the lowest weight that you can with diet and exercise that you can comfortably MAINTAIN over the long term.  I have seen too many people try to crash diet down to a goal weight only to have their desired cosmetic surgery and then gain it all (or a lot) back!  Your best surgical result happens when you are in the best shape you can be in and your surgical result is best maintained with a stable postoperative weight.   Substantial gains or losses postop could dramatically change your result. Best of luck to you!
