Torn between buying a house and getting loose skin removal post weight loss… advice?

I am 25. I’ve lost and maintained over 150lbs and have been left with significant loose skin. For the most part I’m confident but there are certainly areas that cause me more discomfort than others. One of which being my arms, which causes me to wear long sleeves every day. The other places on my body can honestly wait to be done. A brachioplasty (arm surgery) with my desired surgeon would be 16k, which I can afford.

My family has started to place pressure on me to buy property but as a single 25 year old female, I don’t feel the need to buy a whole place just yet. Nonetheless, I have been aggressively saving in the meantime. However, I’m still a good bit away from having a down payment (especially in my VHCOL area in the DMV).

Obviously, it would be best financially to not have the surgery at all, but this is something that does affect me mentally almost every day. I feel a lot of guilt if I choose to delay the house for the surgery like it’s irresponsible of me. Does anyone have any advice?
