What happens if I get hip dip transfer early post sleeve surgery?

Question

I’m 2 months post op from sleeve surgery, currently 5’7 180 pounds. I was considering a minimal Lipo and hip dip transfer around April. I KNOW they say we have to wait 1-2 years but I only see aesthetic reasons I want to know if my health is really at risk besides the usual In my case I don’t even want a tummy tuck right now and my loose skin isn’t an insecurity I just want an hourglass shape as natural as possible my waist is good it’s just my hips :(

Dear maddievee,
The recommendation, and it is just that, is to wait until you have reached goal weight after bariatric surgery and maintained it for 6 months.  If you were to proceed now, you have to be prepared for what might happen to the transferred fat depending on whether you continue to lose weight, or gain it back.  And that is not predictable.  Good luck!
