Plastic surgery in the summer, a good idea?

The sun is high in the sky, the temperature is rising and you want to go to the beach. But of course you want to look your best. So in the latest bikini and if possible with a tight beach body and smooth skin. To help achieve that, various cosmetic treatments are available. But do sun and cosmetic surgery actually go together? Plastic surgeon Dr. Kazem of Kazem Aesthetica offers some advice.Image: Kazem Aesthetics

Which cosmetic treatments are recommended for the summer season?

"In preparation for the beach season, treatments that beautify body contours are of particular interest. Such as the non-operative CoolSculpting, to reduce fat in troublesome areas, and EmSculpt, to build and accentuate muscles. Botox can also be a good treatment for people who suffer from excessive sweating."  

How best to protect the body after a summer treatment?

"Whether you have had treatment or not; it is always very important to drink enough. That hydrates and cleanses your body, which is of the utmost importance. Also, use a good sunscreen with a high protection factor. And wear good sunglasses, which will prevent you from "squinting" your eyes too much. That saves unnecessary crow's feet around the eyes."

As a reputable plastic surgeon, you are always working ethically. What treatment would you advise against in the summer?

"I would advise against laser treatments for skin improvement, such as Clear + Brilliant or Fraxel , because after this you have to be extra careful about exposure to too much sun. I would also advise against larger surgical procedures, because too much sun does not contribute to optimal scar tissue repair. Also, after doing chemical peels, exposure to too much sunlight can create the danger of pigmentation."
