Answer: Mommy makeover post GS Hi and thanks for asking this question. I like my patients to wait one full year post GS surgery. Doing so gives ample time to acheive the weight loss goal. It is very important to be within 10lbs of your goal weight prior to cosmetic surgery. Example - If you do the surgery too soon and happen to lose an additional 20-30lbs you will most likely end up with loose skin in your abdomen area making it look like you didn't have anything done. Have patience and give your surgeon the best body to work with - you will then have the best results! Good luck1

Answer: How long should you wait before having a mommy makeover after a gastric sleeve procedure? Thank you for your question. I would say you may need to wait around 9 to 12 months after the gastric sleeve surgery. It will take around 6 months after the gastric sleeve procedure for your body to reach or get as close as possible to the goal weight you are aiming for. After this time you will need to keep that weight stable for another 5 or 6 months before the mommy makeover. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Skin removal after massive weight loss Most surgeons agree that patients have best and most reliable outcomes when they wait until their weight has stabilized for about 6 months or so after massive weight loss. If you are considering a gastric sleeve procedure, you should plan to give yourself plenty of time to lose your excess weight. You should allow your body to adapt to your new weight and maintain that weight before scheduling your skin removal surgery.
