If you are considering your cosmetic surgery, wintertime would be a great option. The colder months offer less temptation to be in the sun which could hinder your healing process. The weather outside feels like a great time to spend more time indoors and relax and let your body heal itself. 

More Time Indoors

When having your surgery performed in the winter instead of the summer is a great option because the cold weather offers more opportunities to spend time indoors. Being in the sun during the healing process can be detrimental to your healing process. A procedure in the summer would require extra care when going outdoors including additional sunscreen and paying extra attention to ensure the area you had the procedure on is covered from harmful UV rays. By taking the time to rest up after your surgery can help your healing process move right along and have a quick recovery in time to enjoy the warmer months worry-free. 

Planning for Days Off

Often times, towards the end of the year there are more opportunities for days off. However, if you do wait until the new year, you will be able to set days aside and have a plan for the remainder of the year. If you were to wait until the end of the year to get your surgery done, you may not have enough vacation time and will be forced to wait longer. If you are able to plan the surgery around days of work, such as bank holidays that you may have off of work could potentially feel less stressful so you don’t feel as if you are missing out on as many days of work. 

Dressing Post-Surgery is Easier

After the surgery, you will want to be sure that your incision sites are covered to ensure infection-free healing. After a hair transplant, a hat or beanie would be a great accessory. However, during the summer, your scalp would be directly exposed to harmful UV rays that could hurt your healing. Depending on where the surgery was, having the option to wear sweaters and scarfs will be a welcomed change after your winter surgery. 

Cosmetic surgeries are always a personal decision and should be made with lots of consideration and thought but if you are considering one, these are all great things to consider in the process.
