You’ll generally want to wait until your weight loss has stabilized, which may take 12-24 months or longer, depending on your operation. We recommend body contouring surgery after you have achieved your weight loss goal and your weight has been stable for at least 4-6 months. Your bariatric team members and plastic surgeon will determine the best time for you to have body contouring surgery.
