Does anyone know if you have to have a unfil when you get cosmetic surgery? I had a breast reduction & lift prior to lapband and what was left of the girls are slowly disapearing so I'm already planning to get inplants and was just wondering about the fill. Thx in advance for your help.

Depends on Doctors involved.

Here in Ontario Canada, they believe in the total defill before any surgery.

I was told 6 weeks...........I begged and they gave me my first fill at 5 weeks. I was only filled to 4cc, despite the fact that I had been over 7 before my TT. I have had 2 subsequent fills, and I am at 5.8. I am getting another fill on Monday. I have very little restriction, and it is very frustrating right now.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
