If you’re considering surgery sometime this year, now is the time to start the conversation.
We often meet patients who are hoping to book a procedure “soon”, but don’t realize how much time and planning is involved in doing it properly. Consults, pre-op paperwork, medical clearance (if needed), and thoughtful scheduling take time. And at certain times of year, our surgical calendar books up quickly.
That’s why summer is the perfect time to get the ball rolling – especially if you’re aiming for a fall or winter procedure.
Here’s what a typical surgery timeline looks like:
Consultation
Discuss your goals, review medical history, and go over options
Surgery prep
Bloodwork, planning, logistics
Surgery date
Sometimes 1 to 3 months from your consult
Recovery
Varies by procedure, but some downtime is always expected
Whether you’re thinking about a facelift, tummy tuck, or a minor in-office procedure, booking early gives you more flexibility with dates and recovery time.
If you’ve had surgery on your mind for a while, summer could be the right time to start moving from “maybe” to “making a plan”.
Book a consultation with Dr. Barnsley and your chance to get your questions answered — and get clear on your options.
