Summer is a great time for many activities, but not the best time for plastic surgery. That’s because you would have to spend you summer vacation time recuperating indoors. Even exposure to shaded areas is not recommended during the summer months because heat and sun can cause prolonged post-op swelling.
Laser resurfacing and chemical peels are also not recommended during the summer months. That’s because you should avoid sun exposure on treated areas for up to one month following laser resurfacing.
Here are some cosmetic procedures that won’t interfere with your summer plans.
Dermal Fillers and Injectables
Summer is a great time to think about getting rid of unwanted lines and wrinkles because dermal fillers and injectables require virtually no downtime. They won’t interfere with your summer plans because you don’t have to stay out of the sun to recuperate.
Botox® is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world, and it is the perfect choice for summer months because there is no downtime to recuperate. Many patients will even have the procedure during their lunch hour and return to work right after. Botox® is a great choice for treating deep expression lines, wrinkles and creases on your forehead. These signs of aging are caused by overly repetitive movement of these facial muscles. Botox® relaxes the muscles and temporarily prevents them from fully drawing in, allowing the skin to become smooth.
Dermal fillers are another good summer treatment that require no downtime. They are used to add volume to deep wrinkles or volume-depleted areas of the face like the cheeks. Injecting fillers into the lips can also add desired fullness. With dermal fillers, the results are immediate and will last up to a year or two.
Skin Tightening
As you age, your skin loses its elasticity. It can stretch and sag over time, so you may want to have your skin tightened for a more fresh, youthful look.
Collagen is needed to keep the skin youthful and tight. But collagen production decreases as we age. As a result, you may consider a skin tightening procedure. All of our skin tightening treatments are focused on generating long-term results ideally with non-surgical and non-invasive methods that require no downtime. That makes skin tightening a perfect procedure for the summer months.
