Winter has arrived, bringing milder temperatures. During this period, the demand for plastic surgery increases, as plastic surgeon Humberto Pinto explains. "We have patients who plan their surgery six months in advance to operate in winter. The period is perfect for recovery, and for those looking to have a renewed body by summer, this time is suitable," says the doctor.
According to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), procedures increase by about 50% during this period. "The demand is precisely for the time with less heat, and the post-surgery recovery is more comfortable," says the surgeon.
Dr. Humberto explains that during this time, the use of compression garments, healing, and resting are much more pleasant for the patient. “Since it’s less hot, recovery is better, and the patient’s discomfort is lower; recovery is better, and depending on the location of the surgery, wearing clothes that cover more of the body makes patients feel more comfortable,” he points out.
For example: Those who undergo abdominoplasty, liposuction, or even silicone implants want discretion until their body is 100%. “For those who want to be ready for summer, the ideal is to plan the surgery by September,” he emphasizes.
