Although plastic surgery is performed year round, is there a better time of the year to have a certain procedure done? It is reasonable to try to plan a certain cosmetic surgery according to the season. December is popular month for cosmetic surgery since many people have vacation time, there are plenty more options. In order to maximize the results from a cosmetic surgery it is best to undergo certain procedures at certain times of the year to allow an appropriate time for safe recovery and conceal scars and swelling. Below is an outline to the different seasons of the year and what surgeries are appropriate
Mid-December thru March :
Mid-December thru March This is an ideal time for just about any surgery. The cooler weather makes it easier to conceal swelling and bruising with layers of winter clothing. Turtle necks, hats, and scarves can help hid the effects of a facelift, brow-lift, and rhinoplasty. Sweaters can help camouflage the body changes from a breast augmentation Boston , breast reduction, liposuction or tummy tuck. Rest and recovery are important for any type of plastic surgery. Keeping away from strong sunlight after any surgery is also very important after any operation. This is a lot easier to do during this time of year. Also, it is a slow business period for many companies and long holiday weekends contribute to additional time off. Recommended surgeries include: facelift, rhinoplasty, brow lift, body contouring, and breast enhancement procedures.
Spring-April thru June :
Spring-April thru June This is a very busy season for cosmetic surgery. This is usually the time of year where people are preparing their body for the summer. By having a surgery during this time period you are able to enjoy the holidays and can still use some of the winter advantages. This also gives you a bit of extra time to diet and exercise to lose the extra weight. Recommended surgeries for this time period include breast enhancement procedures, facial rejuvenation procedures, liposuction Boston , and other body contouring procedures.

Summer-July thru August This time period isn’t recommended for plastic surgery unless you prefer to use your summer vacation as a time to recuperate. However, this does not entail recuperating outdoors by the poolside or even in the shade. The summer sun and heat can aggravate prolonged swelling or even bleeding post-op. Healing is to be done indoors in the air conditioned comfort for 1-2 weeks. Immature scars should not be exposed to direct sunlight because they may become tan, making them more noticeable. Only minor procedures are recommended for this time period such as Botox , fillers, etc.
