It's the most wonderful time of the year... for a facelift

Baby, it’s cold outside — and plastic surgeons are enjoying a seasonal change as patients rush in to get work done ahead of Christmas and New Year.

“We’re doing four times as many as procedures, starting from late October through the end of the year,” Dr. Melissa Doft, who runs a Park Avenue plastic surgery practice in Manhattan, told Moneyish.

The hibernating nature of winter allows for tummy tucks and boob jobs to heal beneath layers of clothing ahead of summer, explains Doft.

She also reports a rise in students who have time off between semesters opting for nose jobs, while men and women in their 40s and 50s are getting facelifts during their time out of the office.

Dr. Elie Levine, from Upper East Side New York, also said he gets a lot of “mommy makeovers” this time of year because “their partners may also be off work and around more to help out with the children while they are recovering.”
