Plastic surgery is not to be taken lightly. Deciding to undergo plastic surgery is committing to an operation that requires healing and downtime.
Downtime takes time away from your regular schedule, including work time, family time, and social time. For this reason, the holidays may offer some candidates an ideal opportunity to get plastic surgery because they don’t need to worry about asking for time off work or worrying about the prying eyes of their colleagues as they heal fully.
Conversely, the holiday season is also a time for parties, quality family time, and you-time. People can choose to look their best for the multitude of photographs that come with the holiday season by opting for a non-invasive or minimally invasive procedure that brings little-to-no downtime.
The best option for each individual depends on their own schedule and many other factors, but the choice is ultimately theirs! Here, Dr. Jose Barrera in San Antonio, Texas, takes a look at the best surgical and non-surgical techniques to consider over the holiday season.
Surgical Holiday Choices
Surgical procedures, such as the facelift, necklift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, or fat grafting, provide more permanent and profound results compared to their non-invasive counterparts. However, these operations do require downtime.
Other procedures, particularly reconstructive procedures such as sinus/nasal surgery, can be a ling-changing gift to loved ones who have sleep apnea or snoring issues. The holiday season gives them the ideal opportunity to consult with an elite reconstructive surgeon, such as Dr. Jose Barrera, and consider their options and recover from the procedure before moving forward with the new year and returning to work.
Timing and recovery are two of the most essential considerations of deciding to get plastic surgery.
Non-Surgical, Minimally Invasive Holiday Procedures
With all the meals, parties, dances, and family outings over the holidays, the camera is always at the forefront. Holiday snaps are people’s favorites, and looking ones’ best during this time can leave a lasting impression.
To get into holiday-photo-friendly shape quickly, dermal fillers and other skin treatments offer fast-healing, result-oriented solutions.
Dermal fillers show their results within seventy-two hours, so a visit can be booked on short notice once you know the date of your party. Once the swelling resides (generally after two days), dermal fillers provide contoured lines, volumized cheeks and temples, and smooth, fine-line-free skin.
For those concerned with more prominent forehead and nasolabial fold wrinkles, neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport can provide a younger, more vibrant appearance in a short amount of time.
Finally, after months of tanning and outdoor play, our skin might be feeling the effects of too much sun. Non-surgical skin treatments like chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing help revitalize and refresh the face and eliminate freckles, sunspots, and uneven skin tone.
