Yes, weather can impact your healing after a tummy tuck, so it’s worth considering the time of year for your procedure.
Heat and humidity can lead to more sweating, increasing the risk of infection and discomfort in the early stages of recovery. Also, I recommend my patients avoid sun exposure while healing. Sun exposure, UV rays can darken scars and delay healing.
Many patients opt for surgery in the fall to allow for a more relaxed recovery period, avoiding excessive sun or outdoor activities. Ultimately, the best time for your surgery depends on your recovery needs, so it's a good idea to discuss timing with your surgeon based on your individual circumstances.
