Choosing the right season for your plastic surgery

No that you have decided to the have that face-lift or liposuction you now have to decide when you are going to have your procedure and that depends on when you want to show off your new look and when you want to devote your time to recovery.

For many people who want to be fit and rejuvenated for the spring or summer, the winter is a good time to have liposuction, breast augmentation or face-lifts. Bulky winter clothing can help hide the swelling that goes along with liposuction or a breast augmentation. During the winter there are a number of three day weekends which gives the patient the opportunity to recover and not use up their summer vacation. This also gives them the chance to achieve the best results before slipping on a sun dress or bathing suit. Since it is colder and businesses slow down it is easier for plastic surgery patients to avoid the sun during their recovery.

Spring and summer is a good time to consider plastic surgery if you are hoping to achieve maximum results later in the summer or fall. For the people who enjoy winter activities this will give them enough time to fully recover from more invasive procedures like a breast augmentation in time to enjoy winter activities.

When you go for your initial consultation discuss when you want to show off your improved looks and your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you exactly how much recovery time you will need.
