How long after Bariatric Surgery can you have a Body Lift?
After making the decision of having Bariatric Surgery, let it be a Gastric Sleeve, Bypass, or Duodenal Switch, you start to look for the next step: skin removal through a Body Lift. But when can you start considering it?
It is recommended to wait a minimum of 6 months. Each body is different, and your metabolism and healing speed can affect the timing.
Why You Should Wait Until You Reach Your Goal Weight
The idea is to finish losing weight or reach your goal weight before considering surgery. Otherwise, if you continue to lose weight after getting a quote, the initial estimate may change due to further skin loosening. For example, an extended tummy tuck might turn into a circular one, or even a belt lipectomy with a fleur-de-lis incision. Moreover, if your budget was based on the first quote, this change could cause unexpected stress. Therefore, it’s ideal to wait before making a final decision.
How to Maintain Results After a Body Lift
A body lift can transform your appearance. Results are long-lasting; however, natural aging may gradually reduce firmness over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise is essential to preserve the outcome.
