It is usually during the months of Spring when we start to hear that little voice in our head grumbles about the upcoming bikini season. It seems only natural that we would feel the urge to slough off extra pounds as the weather warms up and heavy clothing starts to shed, layer by layer. There may never be a bad time to think about weight management, fitness, and body contours. However, to wait until the last minute could be more stressful than acting now, in the heart of Winter, to perfect your shape.

Why Body Contouring is a Great Wintertime Treat

There are a few key reasons why we encourage patients to think about their aesthetic goals now, during months when the body is rarely “on display.”

• The cover-up. After a body-contouring procedure like liposuction or a tummy tuck, or even brachioplasty, there is a bigger desire to cover-up due to post-surgical swelling and bruising. These side effects may linger subtly for several weeks. The last thing you want is to feel the urge to wear shorts or a bathing suit when your body is in recovery, so why not look into surgical body contouring when the weather demands more clothing?
• Time on your Hands. There is something to be said about the need for “me time” after a surgical cosmetic procedure. On the one hand, it may sound enticing to schedule treatment during the summer, when kids are out of school, but this could backfire. Winter proves to be a great time for cosmetic procedures precisely because kids are kept busy several hours a day outside of the home. This allows you the ample time you need to do nothing but relax and recover.

Let’s Talk about Non-Surgical Body Contouring

Not everyone is interested in whittling their middle with liposuction or other cosmetic surgery. Many people today prefer non-surgical methods of fat-reduction. We offer Liposonix® and Velashape for gradual slimming and cellulite reduction. There are clear benefits to non-surgical body contouring. However, these techniques take time to work – up to three months. For this reason, the “off-season” is a great season to schedule your consultation and treatment for a great bikini body.
