Just curious, how long did you wait to have plastic surgery?

Just wondering because I have read so many different things. I thought you need to be at goal for a certain amount of time to let your body settle before getting into plastic surgery.

Just interested on everyone's experience and thoughts!

I was sleeved July 12, 2012. Just had panni done on July 30. My surgeon suggested i see his partner for skin removal when i saw him for my 8 month check up. And the surgeon wanted me to wait til i hit the one year mark so after all the insurance requirements that's about where it took me to. Now i have to start saving up for boobs

I had my sleeve done may 28 ,2012 and plastics (lbl, muscle tightening, inner thigh lift, outer thigh hip Lipo, BL with aug) done July 26,2013. I lost 90 lbs and platued there for 5 months. I was 25lbs away from my goal "weight " but was in the size I wanted to be in. Sooo I was happy where I was size wise before plastics. I have went down another size in jeans (29 now) and can fit in a size small shirt.

It is recommended to wait at least a year so you are not waisting money and not ending up with the best results.
