What is the best season to do?

Traditionally, the month of July is the most sought after month for cosmetic surgeries because winter brings benefits during hot seasons for those who intend to have plastic surgery and how July, in turn, is a school vacation, allows those with children to plan their surgery and have a calmer recovery

Andre Colaneri explains that because it's colder , swelling may be lower compared to warmer days. This is more obvious for surgeries such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, facial surgery, in which edema (swelling) is more prominent. Another point to consider is that in some plastic surgeries the use of compression tapes for more than a month is necessary during recovery, which is much more bearable on cold days.

However, more than working in the cold, there are other factors of fundamental importance in the programming of surgery and which involve more strongly in the outcome of plastic surgery. The first of them is to seek a specialist. "It makes sense, but many non-specialist doctors are doing plastic surgeries, surgeons accredited by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery are recognized as specialists, since it is he who oversees the training of the specialist," says Dr. Colaneri.

Working in a hospital environment is also fundamental to safer surgery. It is not enough to know how to cope with a possible complication, you must have the means and the equipment.

The last factor of fundamental importance is to have sufficient time and logistics for the recovery of the surgery performed. Inadequate recovery will directly influence the outcome. It is therefore better to operate in the summer and have enough time to recover than to work in the winter and return to work sooner.

Vacations are also much sought after as a recovery option as they provide adequate rest and recovery for minor surgeries. , avoiding losing vacation to recovery. "Surgeries with quick return to office work, such as bad prostheses, eyelid surgery, ears, gynecomastia and intimate surgeries allow adequate recovery during the holidays, even outside of the winter."
