Dr. Sean Bidic and Dr. Vinay Gundlapalli—double board-certified plastic surgeons in Mullica Hill, New Jersey—will help you navigate surgery and recovery. At American Surgical Arts, the focus is always on care that fits your goals, your timeline, and your life. Here are the benefits of scheduling your body contouring procedures in the winter.
More Privacy and Coverage During Recovery
Oversized sweaters, long layers, and heavy coats are cozy, and they’re also helpful when you’re healing. After surgery, you may wear compression garments or experience some swelling or bruising. It’s easier to stay comfortable and discreet during colder months when everyone’s bundled up. Plus, you won’t feel out of place staying indoors to rest.
Natural Downtime That Fits Recovery
Winter tends to be a slower season socially. Between the holidays, work-from-home flexibility, and fewer outdoor activities, many people naturally have more time to relax. That makes it easier to follow post-op instructions, attend follow-up appointments, and give your body the time it needs without feeling rushed or exposed. Some patients even use built-in time off around the holidays to recover without taking extra leave from work.
Results Show by Summer
One of the biggest reasons patients plan surgery in winter is simple: they want to enjoy their results by summer.
If your goals include a vacation, a refreshed wardrobe, or feeling good in your skin once it’s swimsuit season, winter is a smart time to begin. Starting now gives swelling a chance to go down before the warmer months arrive.
