How Long Do Surgeons Want You to Maintain Weight Before a Lower Body Lift? (photo)

March 11, 2013

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.
