I was 20 months post wls when I had my tummy tuck and breast lift. Essentially what my plastic surgeon wanted to see was that I was within 10-15 pounds from my goal weight and that I had pretty much maintained that weight for 6 months. My bariatric surgeon recommends that you wait at least 18 months before pursuing plastic surgery.
