Should I lose weight before my consultations?

October 26, 2015
Asked By:CanadianMom123 in Orillia, ON

I Plan on getting a "mommy makeover" with a tummy tuck, breast lift and implants in the fall of 2016. I tore a ligament in my knee that temporarily is preventing me from being active. I am now about 25lbs heavier than I normally am but would like to choose a cosmetic surgeon soon. Should I wait until my injury has fully healed and I've lost the excess weight to start setting up and attending consults? Or can I start now and still get a good idea of what's needed while I have the extra weight?
