Now that the weather is getting colder and drearier by the day, you may have shifted your focus to the spring. But you have more to look forward to than you realize. If you’ve been contemplating having a surgical procedure done, now is the best time to do it. Here’s why.

 

Less Time Off Work

 

Since plastic surgery is optional in many cases, clients can’t afford to take much time off work. Having the procedure done over the holidays gives you extra days for recovery. Most workplaces give employees extra days off, as well as shortened days. If you have a procedure done at the end of December, you could be fully recovered by the time you return to work in January. More recovery time, less days off work and more money in your pocket are all perks to having plastic surgery done in the winter.

 

Easier to Cover Up Bandages

 

When you head outdoors to go shopping, take a walk or even enjoy a quick lunch date, it’s easy to feel self-conscious about yourself when you have bandages on your face. During the winter months, however, it’s much more acceptable to keep covered up. Put on a ski mask or wrap a scarf around your neck and you can enjoy going out in public as soon as your recovery allows.

 

Everyone’s Spending More Time Indoors

 

The nice thing about having any type of surgical procedure done in the winter is that you won’t be missing much. The weather is cold and snowy in New Jersey anyway, and most people are indoors watching movies, baking cookies and decorating their homes. Now is a good time to catch up on some of the things you don’t normally have time for, whether it’s sorting through old pictures or organizing your drawers and closets.

 

Turn Winter Break into a Staycation

 

Staycations are very popular these days because they are affordable, far less headache than traditional traveling and they encourage people to enjoy their own cities. This winter, give yourself a staycation – and a good excuse for not having to travel far to see distant relatives. Use your time off to rest, and you’ll be close to your doctors should you need anything. This is the perfect excuse to stay in your pajamas, watch holiday movies and avoid the crowded shopping malls.

 

Give Yourself a Gift

 

Holiday bonus? Gift money from relatives? With a plastic surgery procedure, you can work out some of the features that have made you self-conscious all your life – and enter the New Year in much better spirits! Always make sure that you meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon. There are a variety of holiday plastic surgery specials offered at this time of the year, but the most important thing is finding a doctor who will safely perform the surgery and give you the look you’ve been longing for.
