Hello! I've asked questions before, and a apparently a decent candidate for this procedure. However- i kno you prefer weight stabilize? What is too much of a recent weight fluctuation? -- I was 270 plus, pre-gstric sleeve in 2017. I made it to (lowest weight 164), bounced up a tad to 175 and tht was my weight in January 2023. I'm down to 162. Not trying to lose any additional, but should i maintain this for 6 months or am i fine to start getting consultations? 39 yrs 5'5"
Answer: Weight stabilization Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! Generally you want your weight to be stable for about six months prior to having surgery in order to optimize your results. Fluctuations within a ten pound range are fine. I've included a video on plastic surgery after major weight loss that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Body Lift after recent weight Loss Thank you for your query. Generally it is best to let the weight loss stabilise for six months to one year before getting a lower body lift. However, in your specific situation, if you are not likely to gain or loose more weight, and since you are already several years post bariatric surgery, a body lift procedure may be reasonable at this stage. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Am I still a good candidate for a body lift after recent weight loss? Should I start my consultation journey? Congrats on your weight loss! It's always best to arrive at your ideal weight prior to body contouring procedures. Based on limited photos - it appears that it is a good time to start your post weight loss reconstruction journey. In the right hands -I predict - you can expect a dramatic transformation. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS and discuss your options during in person exam

Answer: Body lift timing and weight loss Hello and thank you for your question. Ideally, the best candidates for body contouring surgery are at or as close as possible (within 10 lbs) of their goal weight and have been stable (less than 10 lb fluctuations) for at least 6 months. It is totally appropriate to start the consultation process and plan out your body contouring journey and you appear to be, in my opinion, a very good body lift/belt lipectomy candidate.
