Gary, my Plastic Surgeon recommends waiting until you are at least 12 months postop but preferably more like 18 months postop. My wls surgeon told me not to even think about plastic surgery until I was 18 months postop.
My plastic surgeon also wanted me pretty close to my goal weight and having maintained my weight for the past 3 months.
I was 20 months postop when I had my tummy tuck and breast lift. I was 10 pounds from goal and had maintained that weight for 3 months.
Hope that answers your question.
