The Benefits of Getting Plastic Surgery During Holidays

The holidays are a time for relaxation, fun, and spending quality time with loved ones, but did you know they’re also an ideal time for plastic surgery? The timing of your surgical procedures is a significant factor to consider when deciding to undergo cosmetic surgery. By scheduling your procedure for a holiday period, you can take advantage of the increased availability of plastic surgeons who are generally busy during the warmer months. This can give you the best chances of reversing the aging process and elevating your confidence.

Plastic surgery takes time, so it’s best to start planning as early as possible. Whether you’re considering facelift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, breast reduction, eyelid surgery, a nose job, body contouring, liposuction, mommy makeover, and more, many plastic surgeons recommend patients get plastic surgery during the holiday season. Here are a few other reasons why plastic surgeons recommend scheduling you get plastic surgery around the holidays.

1. Holiday Time Off

People tend to slow down during the holidays and take more time off. This makes it easier to recover from an invasive plastic surgery procedure. In addition, many people have scheduled time off from work because of the holidays. Take advantage of the company time off and save on your PTO and vacation days! Finally, if you don’t want to answer questions about why you’re taking extensive time away from work, the holidays give you the perfect excuse.

2. You’ll Have Extra Support

Holidays are when friends and family come together to spend quality time with each other. When you recover from cosmetic procedures, having the support of your loved ones can be extremely helpful. While recovering, nothing is as essential as having your loved ones around you. They can help you prepare meals, walk you around, clean up, provide emotional support, and help you feel better about your recovery. They also can help to reduce the stress you might feel about recovery, which can make the healing process faster and more effective.

3. You Can Recover Discreetly

If you undergo plastic surgery around the holidays, you don’t have to worry about being seen in public. If you do go out, you have the benefit of bulky sweaters to hide your bandaging from both strangers and your loved ones visiting from out of town. Bulkier clothing can also help you conceal your results until they’re ready. During winter, events like holiday parties are also much less likely to be outdoors. You can go about your daily routine without worrying that someone might notice that you’re recovering from plastic surgery procedures.

4. Perfect Time to Stay Indoors

The winter months tend to get a little colder, even in Florida, so you are probably already planning on staying indoors to curl up on the couch and watch a holiday movie. This is the perfect thing to do while you recover since you should limit your activities, especially during the first couple of weeks. It can help you avoid sun damage that can worsen the appearance of scarring. Plastic surgery during the summer months can be especially hard because you will want to spend time outside with your friends and loved ones. This can put extra emotional strain on your recovery process and impact your results.

5. Prepare for Summer Weather

Complete recovery from cosmetic surgery can take several months. Having surgery during the holidays will give your body plenty of time to get back in shape for bikini season when you can show off the results of your surgery. The swelling should reduce significantly and your scars won’t be as prominent by summertime. It’s normal to want to show off your results as soon as possible, but waiting until your results are fully developed can make the transformation seem much smoother.
