Fall is all about pumpkin spice and everything nice. As it turns out, this wonderfully chilly time of year is also ideal for scheduling breast surgery like breast implants or a breast reduction. So how does breast enhancement fit in among the ranks of pumpkin carving, apple cider and sweater weather? These are just some of the top reasons.
1. You’re Motivated, Coming out of Swimsuit Season
At the close of summer, you might find that you’re newly motivated to make changes to your diet and exercise habits or scheduling the breast enhancement surgery you’ve been considering. If you weren’t quite happy with your beach body this year, what better time than right now to start making healthy changes so you can look and feel better and better as the year goes on?
Start planning your breast augmentation or reduction now so you can be well on your way to shopping for new swimsuits for next season.
2. You’ll Have Plenty of Time to Pick the Best Plastic Surgeon
Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with ample experience performing breast surgeries. Many women feel more comfortable with a female plastic surgeon.
The summer months are when you might be most interested in getting breast enhancement or reduction surgery. But you don’t want to rush your decision to try to squeeze your procedure into this busy time of year. Instead, start your search for the best plastic surgeon for breast surgery near the end of summer or early fall. That way, you have plenty of time to do your research, narrow down your plastic surgeon search and schedule a consultation or two.
3. You Can Sit Back and Enjoy a Cozy Recovery
Cozy up with a pumpkin spice latte, a good book and the comfiest blanket you can find and give your body plenty of time to recuperate after plastic surgery. Breast augmentation recovery in the summer months can be a bummer, since you’ll have to stay out of the sun and wear a special surgical bra for a few weeks. So why not grab your favorite oversized sweater and recoup in style this fall?
4. Take Time away from Work More Easily
Vacation requests usually plummet in the fall, compared to the bustling summer vacation season. It might be easier to schedule time off work as the leaves begin to change and treat yourself to a little “you” time.
Additionally, if you have kids, they’ll be headed back to school in the fall. Lots of moms find that they have more time for rest and recovery as the hustle and bustle of summer comes to a close and the family settles into their school-time routine.
5. Be Ready for Bikini Season Next Summer
Keep in mind that it can take up to 6 months to see your final results from breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery. So if you schedule your procedure for the cooler fall months, you should be able to show off your new beach body just in time for next year’s summer vacation.
