Question: When is the best time of the year to get plastic surgery? 

Answer: The best time for surgery is the time when you may best set aside time for YOU. The time when you can minimize stress from work, family, and personal obligations. Patients heal best when not under stress. Skin resurfacing procedures (e.g. laser, facial peels, dermabrasion) and scar revisions are better in the winter months when there is less potential sun exposure.
