When it comes to having any kind of cosmetic surgery – and particularly a procedure involving your face – it is important to consider the timing of your surgery carefully. While facelift surgery is certainly safe, possible, and appropriate at any time of year, there are some compelling benefits of choosing to schedule a facelift in the winter months. Use this helpful information from the expert team of Reston, VA board-certified plastic surgeons at Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery to better understand why a facelift in the fall or winter may be a good fit for you.
If you’re like many men and women who are under 50 or over 70, you may think you’re either too young or too old for a facelift. In reality, however, facelift surgery can be appropriate and beneficial at almost any age. With a wide array of facial rejuvenation procedures to choose from at Austin-Weston, patients can look their best at all stages of life. Some of the most common types of facelift surgeries performed today include:
Based on the nature and severity of your concerns, the elasticity of your skin, your desired outcome, and other personal factors, our knowledgeable surgeons will recommend the most suitable facelift approach for you.
As you think about the right time to schedule your facelift surgery, there are a number of important things to consider, including:
With all of these things in mind, many patients find that the summer and winter holiday breaks offer the most time off of work for recovery, the most flexibility for their partner/loved one’s schedule, and various other benefits.
For patients with certain professions – such as teachers or educators – the summer break may be an ideal time to schedule facelift surgery. While this certainly allows for a relaxing recovery period, there may be some benefit to scheduling facelift surgery in the winter if possible. Not only do many men and women have an extended vacation period during the holiday months, but a winter facelift may make certain recovery guidelines easier to follow. For example, one of the most important instructions for facelift recovery is to avoid direct sun exposure. This encourages proper healing and fading of scars, while also minimizing the progression of additional lines and wrinkles. Because most of us stay indoors more during the winter than in the summer, sun exposure is easier to limit. Additionally, scheduling a facelift in the fall or winter gives patients plenty of time to recover and heal so they can show off their new look confidently during travel, wedding season, and other classic summer activities.
