Can I have an operation in summer has always been one of those questions that people ask plastic surgeons. Will anything happen if I have it done in summer? Are there more infections?

The truth is that there are not usually more infections. In Spain there should not be more infections than in Sweden.

Summer is a good time to have an operation for many reasons.

1. We usually have holidays. The use of holiday time for an operation allows a more relaxed recuperation, for a longer time, without giving our body time limits. Generally, we have a month to carry out the surgery and a month to recuperate from it. Relax, recuperate and return to work perfectly. This way we do not have to ask for leave which is often difficult to justify with our procedures.
2. It is more discreet. If there is a time of year for discretion, it is summer. In general, you see the people you love the most. You will avoid gossips, envious people or those who get involved in other people’s things instead of their own.
3. There will not be such a waiting list. This is true. Although it is a good time to have treatment, the truth is that in summer we operate less. Our waiting list is substantially reduced therefore if you have made a last minute decision, I’m sure that it is easier to find an available surgeon than if you looked in October or November.
