How Much Weight to Lose Before Body Lift?

I would personally recommend for you to first go with a bariatric specialist  or a nutritionist so they can adequately guide you in the correct and healthy way to loose weight. After the specialist has guided you and you have accomplished what he has recommended you can afterward see a plastic surgeon so he can evaluate you and let you know what would be the best choice in regards to plastic surgery. Hope this helps. 

Thank you for your question.

I always recommend to ALL of my patients that they should lose as much weight as possible prior to surgery and to be as close as possible to their long term stable weight to get the best results.  This will maximize chances of achieving a long-term stable result without the need for revision surgery (related to weight gain or loss issues).

For example, if you have the procedure and then lose  more than 10  pounds, you may need revisionary surgery to take care of excess skin, etc.

I hope this helps.
