I am a 34 year old female 5'11" currently weighing 215lbs. I weighed almost 300 two years ago and have a lot of skin issues. I would like to get down to about 175 and maintain before surgery. I am saving money and getting very serious about a lower body lift and thigh lift. I want to have a realistic idea of how long I will have to maintain the 175lbs before I can have surgery, also find out when in my weight loss would be a good time to start setting up consultations.
Answer: Body Lifts
After weight loss either by surgery or diet and exercise, ones you plateau on your weight loss it is recommended to have surgery that plateau can be recommended for two or more months and checked for your regular health and nutritionist status

Answer: Lower Body Lift Timing after Significant Weight Loss
This is a good time to set up a consultation so that you will be well informed of the procedures that are recommended, be able to do some research, find out how long the recovery period is and to make sure you have picked the right doctor. I personally like to have patients maintain their stable weight for a minimum of 6 months and one year is even better to be an ideal candidate.

Answer: How Long Do Surgeons Want You to Maintain Weight Before a Lower Body Lift? Congratulations on your weight loss. I would agree with trying to get below 175 pounds. Before a lower body lift and medial thigh lift is contemplated, your weight should be stable for approximately 4 to 6 months. Weight fluctuations up-and-down 5 or 10 pounds are acceptable. I would seek consultations once you weigh 175 pounds. Once you have hit this 175 pound mark, an experienced reconstructive plastic surgeon specializing in massive weight loss patients can show you in the mirror what can be done with your lower body lift and medial thigh lift. Congratulations on your massive weight loss. Good luck with your reconstructive plastic surgery.

Answer: Weight Loss & Body Contouring Surgery Congratulations on your weight loss! Body contouring results are definatelly enhanced by preop weight loss. The more weight you lose before surgery, the better your results will be. Having said that, you are a candidate for surgery to enhance your body contour at any point in your journey as long as you are healthy, and nutritionally sound. In patients who have undergone bariatric surgery we typically weight until 18 months after the procedure before proceeding with body contouring. In patients who have lost it with diet and excercise, the plateau effect happens sooner and is in your control so you determine when you move forward with body contouring. Hope this helps. All the best.
