There is no good reason to plan certain operations according to the season even though some common sense must be respected.
It is wise to plan your procedure according to the duration of the social eviction in order to optimize recovery time for a safer recovery and also to conceal edema and scars under clothes in certain periods of the year.
Most procedures can be performed in summer and winter, but you should plan to avoid the sun.
During a laser treatment, medium peel or another aggressive treatment, it is important to avoid any risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation by staying away from natural or artificial ultraviolet light.
We can specify that each period has its advantages :
In winter :
It is the ideal time to undergo certain cosmetic surgery procedures such as facelift, liposuction and breast augmentation.
Simply for the good and simple reason that cold weather allows you to hide swelling and bruises (that appear just after the intervention) with voluminous clothing. Turtlenecks, scarves and hats hide the effects of a facelift, blepharoplasty, facelift or rhinoplasty….
In summer :
The possibility of a longer period of time off work.
A psychological break from a busy « school » year while having the opportunity to entrust your children.
You will have enough time to recover and get back on track before returning to work and before the beginning of the school year.
Possibility of going to sunny and warm countries in winter (reverse calendar of the southern hemisphere)…
However, when the decision to undergo surgery is carefully considered, the patient is always in a hurry to schedule the operation, he/she is the only one who can decide when to undergo the procedure with the help of his/her plastic surgeon.
