The Best Time for Surgery? Plan for Fall Results, Save with Summer Specials
7/8/2025
There's no "one-size-fits-all" answer to the best time for plastic-surgery - but when it comes to recovery, scheduling, and lifestyle flexibility, many patients find that planning surgery in the summer for fall or winter results is ideal.
Whether you're considering a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, facelift, or liposuction, now is the perfect time to start the conversation and begin planning for a confident, comfortable recovery.
Why So Many Patients Choose Fall and Winter for Surgery
Cosmetic surgery requires downtime, privacy, and patience - cooler months naturally support all three. Here are a few reasons patients often choose to have surgery during the fall and winter season:
Easier to Take Time Off
- Workplaces often offer built-in PTO around holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, making it easier to take time off without drawing attention or disrupting schedules.
Cooler Weather = Cozier Recovery
- Colder weather means more layers, cozy clothes, and time spent indoors - all perfect for post-surgery comfort. Compression garments and post-op swelling are easier to manage under fall and winter wardrobes.
Discreet Healing Before Big Events
- Planning surgery in late summer or early fall means results will be more settled in time for:
- Holiday photos
- Family gatherings
- Vacations
- Special events in the new year
Plenty of Time to Plan
- Scheduling now allows time to:
- Consult with Dr. Mays
- Arrange time off work
- Coordinate childcare or support
- Plan your recovery around your lifestyle
- The sooner your plan is in place, the more flexibility you'll have - especially if you're hoping for a specific date.
Why Now Is The Right Time to Start
At Mays Plastic Surgery, the summer months are a popular time for patients to schedule procedures for the second half of the year. And this year, there's even more reason to take the next step.
