Summer is finally here! As you enjoy summer activities like boating, cookouts, beach days, and holiday celebrations, you want to look and feel your best. By undergoing plastic surgery, you can do just that. No matter what your aesthetic concerns may be, there’s a procedure that may improve or resolve them. Plastic surgery can mean the difference between feeling good in your own skin or being self-conscious as you go through the warmer months.
When Should You Consider Surgery?
Some patients believe that the summer is the perfect time to schedule a surgery. While the summer might be okay for procedures with shorter recovery times, more extensive procedures with longer recovery periods should be reserved for the fall or winter. This is because you’ll be able to heal during these colder months and recover comfortably before summer makes its debut. Of course, factors like your schedule and preferences will help determine the ideal time for plastic surgery.
Plastic Surgery Procedures to Consider
Here are several procedures you may want to explore.
Liposuction
Are you bothered by stubborn fat despite eating healthy and exercising regularly? If so, liposuction may be the ultimate solution. It can sculpt your body and permanently get rid of fat in your inner and outer thighs, abdomen, back, buttocks, arms, and even chin. As long as you’re at or near your goal weight, you may be a good candidate for liposuction. Just remember that it’s a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss surgery.
Tummy Tuck
Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck can help you achieve a firmer midsection. If you have loose skin or stretched abdominal wall muscles because of pregnancy or excessive weight loss, a tummy tuck is ideal. After a tummy tuck, patients report a more toned abdomen that allows them to look great in and out of clothing.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation may be performed to leave you with the fuller, more attractive breasts you may desire. While saline implants contain a silicone shell and sterile salt water, silicone implants are pre-filled with a special gel and offer a more natural look. During a consultation, you can determine which implants make the most sense for your particular goals.
Mommy Makeover
If you’re bothered by excess skin and fat deposits after pregnancy or weight loss, a mommy makeover should be on your radar. It combines a number of procedures, like breast augmentation, liposuction, and a tummy tuck so that you can enjoy a more toned figure, flatter midsection, perkier breasts, and less fat.
The Sky’s the Limit
Thanks to plastic surgery, you can dramatically improve your appearance. If you undergo a procedure in the fall or winter, you’re sure to look and feel your very best once summer rolls around. Schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
