  It is not always necessary. As a general rule, plastic surgery will not be considered for at least a year or two after the operation. Sometimes the skin is sufficiently elastic to mold itself around the new body tissue. It is recommended that you allow the skin the time it needs to adjust before you decide to have more surgery.
