The Benefits Of Having Plastic Surgery in Winter

Men and women turn to plastic surgery for many different reasons. A common reason is to boost their confidence by enhancing the shape and appearance of their body contours. Many patients choose to have plastic surgery in winter in because they want to be able to show off their physiques in bathing suits, shorts and sundresses.

Plastic surgery is something of a multi-step process and it requires a lot of planning. You have to prepare for the day of surgery and also keep in mind your recovery period. This recovery period can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on the procedure.

To ensure that your recovery will not interfere with your summer plans, consider scheduling your plastic surgery procedure in winter so that you have plenty of time to heal. By planning ahead you can enjoy the warm summer months doing the things you love and not spend your time recovering at home. There are also a number of benefits to having plastic surgery in winter.

Scars Fade 

While scarring is an inevitable part of plastic surgery or any other type of surgery, the scarring is always at its worst shortly after the procedure. Even after the wound heals, scars will be red, raised and swollen. While it may take a significant amount of time for all of the discolourations to fade to their final appearance, a significant amount of scar healing happens in the first few months.

By choosing to have plastic surgery in winter, you are giving your scars ample time to heal and fade before summer, when you may want to show off your figure and expose the areas where scarring may be visible. This healing period can be especially beneficial for procedures such as tummy tuck, breast reduction and liposuction surgery.

Swelling Disappears 

Just as scars can take months to lose their initial redness, swelling can be present for the same amount of time. Most swelling subsides after a few weeks, but it may take up to six months for all the swelling to fully dissipate. The presence of this swelling affects the overall quality of your results and hinders the appearance of your final contour. Plan for your surgery early so that all of the expected swelling is gone before summer. The best thing you can do during your recovery is to give your body enough time to heal by getting enough rest.  

Cold Weather Allows for Easier Concealment

Even after you have been cleared to return to your normal activities and routines, you may still experience the visible effects of the recovery process. Winter allows for easier concealment of these recovery marks. Long sleeves, loose sweaters and scarves all enable you to hide the treatment areas until you feel ready to show off your results.
