You can opt for facial plastic surgery in Atlanta no matter what time of year it is, but many people actually find that summer is a more convenient time to commit to the recovery needed before enjoying full benefits. Then again, there are others who assume that the harsher Georgia summer sun may present too may risks for such a procedure.

Just like any time of year, summer may have its own challenges when it comes to getting a facelift. But there are several factors that can contribute to the summer season being the perfect time for a surgical transformation. Whether you’re planning a staycation or simply taking some time off work, we’ll discuss a few reasons why summer may be the “sweet spot” for your facial plastic surgery.

Possible Benefits of a Facelift in Summer

1. Many people prefer staying indoors to beat the heat.

There are plenty of people who love summer for the simple fact that the weather is nice and warm, but there are an equal (or greater) number of people who feel the opposite. Of course, there’s no shortage of people who look forward to those fun-filled pool, lake, and/or beach days under the hot summer sun. In one survey, however, around 55 percent of people said they prefer to stay indoors to avoid the sweltering heat. If you’re one of those individuals, it may be worth it to undergo a facelift during these warmer months and soak up that pleasant air conditioning while your skin fully recovers.

2. School’s out, so your schedule may be a bit more flexible.

With school being out during the summer, you might find your schedule is a little more lax thanks to not having to take the kids or grandkids to various extracurricular activities in addition to school itself. Many patients find summer an ideal opportunity to set aside the necessary time for recovery from a facelift. Plus, it’s vacation season, so if you’re one who enjoys staycations, summer can be a great opportunity to fit in the facelift you’ve been dreaming of.

3. You can likely expect full results just in time for the busy holiday season.

For many people, things tend to slow down a bit more in the summer. Of course, that’s not the case for everyone. But in many situations, summer can be quite the contrast to the busy holiday season when schedules seem to fill up before you even know what hit you. As soon as summer dwindles down, it’s game on. School gets back in session, sporting events ramp up, and then the holidays are here in the blink of an eye. Plus, there are fall weddings and other social events that come about, seemingly out of the woodwork. Having a facelift in the summer can help ensure you’re all refreshed and ready for all those end-of-year activities.

4. You may have an easier time getting an appointment in summer.

Since summer is typically the prime time for families to take out-of-town vacations, that could free up some appointment slots at several plastic surgery practices. Therefore, you may be able to avoid having to wait a few days or weeks to get an appointment with an in-demand facial plastic surgeon in Atlanta, such as double board-certified, fellowship-trained Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker at Atlanta Face & Body. While there’s no official busy season for facelifts, there’s definitely more popular times of year when people decide to make the kind of change they’ve been putting off. The beginning of the year, for example, tends to come with a bit more “waiting list” issues than other times.
