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

Great job in losing the weight. You really want your weight to be stable and not fluctuating.  You want o have a stable diet and exercise program.

hi, starting to maintain your weight its the best signal to start the PS seeking. if its maintain for 6 mo, youre ready for surgery. keep up the good work!

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.

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.
