Answer: Plastic surgery after gastric sleeve Great question! This will depend on how quickly you loose the weight and become stable. Often times it takes 6-12 month for you to loose the weight down to where your body become "stable" meaning you're not loosing or gaining any weight. Then you need to be stable for about 3-6 month before proceeding. So you're looking at around 1-2 years or more before you're able to have plastic surgeon, again depending on how things progress.Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Waiting time Dear maria.acosta, generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, BBL, breast lift or other elective procedure, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. So, in this case the right time for cosmetic procedures is once you reach your goal weight. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Wait at least 12-18 months After gastric sleeve surgery, it's generally recommended to wait at least 12-18 months before considering plastic surgery to remove excess skin and reshape areas like the breasts, thighs, and abdomen. This waiting period allows your body to stabilize, both in terms of weight loss and overall health, which helps ensure the best results from cosmetic surgery. During this time, you'll also have the opportunity to reach your goal weight, as the body may continue to lose weight for several months after surgery. Your surgeon will want to ensure you’ve maintained a stable weight for a period before moving forward with procedures like a tummy tuck, breast lift, or thigh lift.
