Starting the Year With Lipo: Why Winter Works Best

Plastic surgeon in Boca Raton marks areas for liposuction before a procedure on a female patient's abdomen

January brings a fresh start and renewed motivation to look and feel your best. If you’ve been struggling with stubborn pockets of fat in the belly, thighs, or anywhere else, you might be thinking about reshaping your body in the new year.

Winter is one of the best times to schedule liposuction. Although you can schedule cosmetic procedures year-round, the cooler months offer unique advantages for healing, comfort, and long-term results.

At Dr. Giancarlo Plastic Surgery, PLLC, many of Dr. Giancarlo’s patients choose to begin the year with lipo not only for these seasonal benefits but also for the personalized, concierge-level care that defines our practice.

Board-certified in both the United States and Canada, and a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC), Dr. Giancarlo delivers a level of expertise and attention uncommon in South Florida’s high-volume market. Read on to learn why so many people find that liposuction and wintertime are a great combination.

Why Winter Is an Ideal Time for Liposuction

There are several practical reasons winter is considered the “sweet spot” for body contouring:

  • Cooler temperatures make recovery easier: Compression garments are essential after liposuction, but they can feel warm during Florida’s hotter months. Winter weather makes them far more comfortable to wear, helping patients stay compliant and supporting a smoother recovery.
  • More time to heal before spring and summer: Getting lipo in January gives you months to heal, refine your contours, and reveal results ahead of beach season. Many patients appreciate having the full timeline—from initial swelling to final shaping—lined up with their lifestyle goals.
  • Layers allow for discreet healing: Winter clothing helps conceal post-procedure swelling and makes compression garments easier to wear. Whether you’re in the office, working from home, or traveling, recovery can feel more private and seamless.
  • Fewer social commitments: After the holidays, schedules often slow down. With fewer events, vacations, and outdoor activities, patients find it easier to rest and follow recovery guidelines closely.

Considering a Combination Procedure This Winter?

Another reason liposuction and wintertime are such a good fit is that it’s often an add-on to other cosmetic surgeries. Many patients use the winter season to enhance multiple areas at once, allowing them to have a single recovery and undergo anesthesia only once.

You can add liposuction to other procedures, such as:
