I have heard of most Doctors wanting to wait 6 weeks, to make sure you are mostly healed, swelling has gone down, etc.

You need to be healed well and eating hard proteins regularly before you get a fill. I, personally, waited 2 months. I wanted to be sure that I was doing my part first.

Six weeks for me too. I agree with Marie, being completely healed is first and foremost.

Good Luck!
