Answer: Can I have liposuction a month after my gastric band surgery? You should wait to have any plastic surgery until you have reached your goal weight and have been stable for at least 6 months. It is best to lose the weight gradually and then have the correct procedures based on what things look like once you've reached your goal weight. Something that may be the right procedure for you now may not be necessary once you've lost the weight, or worse, may prevent you from having the procedures you really need later on. Best of luck with your weight loss.
