When it comes to scheduling cosmetic surgery or treatments, timing is everything. Winter, with its cozy sweaters and chilly weather, is a great time of year for many cosmetic procedures. Whether you’re considering a transformation for summer or simply want to enhance your confidence, this time of year offers several advantages, from more discreet recovery to greater sun protection. If you’ve been contemplating a change, Dr. Joanne Lopes and her skilled team in Virginia Beach are here to help you shine your brightest.
Here are six cosmetic procedures that are best performed during the winter months—and why now is the perfect time to book your consultation.
Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift
Winter is a great time to focus on your curves. Breast augmentation and lifts remain some of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, and for good reason—they can enhance your silhouette and boost your confidence.
Why Winter?
- Layered Clothing: Cozy winter wardrobes like sweaters and jackets can easily conceal post-surgical garments or any initial swelling.
- Recovery Time: You’ll have plenty of time to rest and recover indoors without the pressure of swimsuit season looming.
- Summer-Ready Results: By starting the process now, you’ll be fully healed and ready to enjoy your new look by the time warm weather arrives.
At Dr. Joanne Lopes’ practice, you’ll receive personalized care to ensure your procedure is tailored to your goals. Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancement or a dramatic change, winter is a great time to make it happen.
Labiaplasty
For women looking to feel more comfortable and confident, labiaplasty offers a transformative solution. This procedure involves reshaping the labia to address physical discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or both.
Why Winter?
- Discreet Recovery: Winter’s layers of clothing make it easy to maintain privacy during recovery.
- Comfortable Downtime: Cooler months naturally encourage rest and relaxation, giving your body the time it needs to heal.
- Perfect Timing: By addressing your concerns now, you’ll be fully recovered and ready for all your spring and summer plans.
Dr. Lopes specializes in creating natural-looking results that enhance both comfort and confidence. Whether your goals are functional, aesthetic, or a combination of both, labiaplasty performed during the winter months offers a discreet, well-timed path to achieving them.
Botox® and Dermal Fillers
For those looking to refresh their appearance without surgery, Botox and dermal fillers are a fantastic winter pick-me-up. These non-invasive treatments smooth fine lines and wrinkles, helping you achieve a more youthful and vibrant look with minimal downtime.
Why Winter?
- Holiday Glow: Winter is filled with festive gatherings and photo opportunities, making it the perfect time to put your best face forward.
- Convenient Timing: Shorter days and cooler weather naturally lend themselves to quick appointments that fit seamlessly into your schedule.
- Skin Protection: Botox doesn’t require significant downtime, but winter’s reduced sun exposure can further enhance your skin’s ability to heal and maintain results.
- Less Swelling: Wintertime’s cooler temperatures naturally help reduce any swelling and bruising due to these treatments, facilitating a smoother recovery.
Dr. Lopes offers expert Botox treatments that deliver natural, subtle results. Whether you’re looking to soften crow’s feet, reduce forehead lines, or smooth frown lines, winter is the perfect season to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance.
MyEllevate® Facial Rejuvenation
For those seeking a minimally invasive solution to sagging skin and lax muscles in the jawline and neck area, the MyEllevate® procedure is a game-changer. This innovative treatment lifts and refines your lower face and neck with minimal downtime, delivering youthful, natural-looking results.
Why Winter?

Why Winter?
