I'm 5'2", and currently weigh 162. At my heaviest, during my last pregnancy, I weighed 221. I've maintained within 15lbs. of my current weight for about 3 years now. Because of pregnancy, and the weight loss, I have loose skin and sagging breasts. I would like to be about 145lbs. Is it advisable to wait until I am closer to my goal weight and have maintained it for several months, or should I go ahead and move forward with the surgery now?

Answer: Weight and surgery There isn't a perfect answer for this. Generally, I like my patients to get within about 10 lbs of their goal weight. But there are always exceptions to the rules. And it could be that your excess skin is making up quite a bit of your excess weight. It sounds like you have been stable for long enough. I might suggest that you go ahead and move forward with your procedure. You can still afford to lose a little more weight after surgery without affecting the results much.
