What time of the year are surgeons most and least busy?

Question

I am wanting to get a breast augmentation in June and I was just curious about surgery months that are most and least common to have surgery.

Francis X. Fleming, MD · Answer

Hi Jamari, I do see lots of people wanting surgery over Christmas break, spring break and during the summer because that is when they are taking time off of work.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

This varies on location. Typically it is our busiest in winter as most patients have time off from work and want to be well healed with the warmer weather. Regards,

Thank you for your question. Taken as a whole, aesthetic surgery has peaks in the spring months and towards the end of the calendar year, times when people have an opportunity of taking time off from work.  Summer months tend to be slower due to vacations and patients do not want to be recovering.  That said, breast augmentations tend to be fairly steady through the year.  Hope this helps.

Hi, I actually find in my practice that bookings for breast augmentation are pretty steady throughout the year.  However, there seems to a modest dip in overall cosmetic surgery demand in early January, and a peak in the spring.  I assume that as people start thinking about the summer they want to have their surgery finished and be fully recovered before the nice summer weather arrives.

The busiest times in Scottsdale are March through August. The slowest months are February and September. I believe it varies between different locations. Best, Dr. Aldo

Jamari,thanks for your question this depends on the plastic surgeon, some surgeons are booked months in advance and some are not. The most important thing is to seek a board certified plastic surgeon in person for a consultation to get all of your questions answered and have an exam done, from there ask them about their availability in June. Have a wonderful day.

lag times and back to school is always a challenging time to be fully booked.  January is less predictable but later summer is almost a certainty.  The week of graduations is also a slower time as most people want to be there to celebrate with their families.

Hi Jamari,I'd say there are two times when plastic surgeons schedule becomes more available.  February/March (tax season) and August/September (summer vacation and kids back in school)  I think June is a great time to have breast augmentation surgery, but April/May or sooner is probably ideal if you want them ready for summer.  Hope that helps.Best,Dr. B

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello. The answer to your question varies based upon the focus of the plastic surgery practice that you are reviewing.  The winter months of January and February may slow down for body contouring procedures with an uptick in breast cases in early spring. Have fun fun with your new look!

Theodore Nyame, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. As mentioned already, the trends tends to vary by season and by region. In general on the East Coast most of the spring is fairly busy as people are getting ready for the summer however other procedures are equally popular during these periods. Best wishes Theodore T Nyame M.D.
