According to the Academy of Facial and Reconstructive Surgery (ENT specialty) the increase in demand for plastic surgery from Thanksgiving to Christmas increases by about 25%.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt the holidays are busy times for those seeking plastic surgery procedures for several reasons: everyone wants to look their best for their social functions over the holidays so there is increased demand for skin care, facials, <a href=\"\/skin-care-procedures-grand-rapids\/skinpen\/\">SkinPen<\/a>, <a href=\"\/facial-procedures-grand-rapids\/non-surgical\/ultherapy\/\">Ultherapy<\/a> and other non-invasive treatments for improving the skin that require little or no downtime.<\/p>\n<p>Also, perhaps not coincidentally, we also see a boost in those seeking body -contouring procedures right after Thanksgiving through the New Year! With more options than ever, from liposuction, <a href=\"\/body-procedures-grand-rapids\/non-surgical\/coolsculpting\/\">CoolSculpting<\/a>, <a href=\"\/body-procedures-grand-rapids\/non-surgical\/vanquish\/\">Vanquish<\/a> and <a href=\"\/facial-procedures-grand-rapids\/non-surgical\/exilis-ultra\/\">Exilis<\/a>, there are many ways to trim that extra bit of turkey stuffing from the abdomen or flanks in order to look great for the holidays and new year.<\/p>\n<p>There are also those who are able to take some extra time off over the holidays and choose to have procedures when they have a bit of extra recovery time. These are a few of the many reasons that people give themselves the gift of plastic surgery over the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to surprising a loved one with the gift of plastic surgery, there are a few warnings. A woman receiving a \u201csurprise\u201d breast augmentation from her husband may be less than thrilled with his generosity. The same could be said for a <a href=\"\/body-procedures-grand-rapids\/surgical\/mommy-makeover-michigan\/\">Mommy Makeover<\/a> or tummy tuck. Unless the recipient has requested this type of gift, better to tread carefully. For those in doubt, a gift certificate may be the best option so the recipient can make their own decision on the gift of plastic surgery that they prefer.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information on any of our plastic surgery procedures, please contact <a href=\"\/\">Dr. Ringler<\/a> for a private consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have seen a trend in the past few years of those who want to give others the gift of plastic surgery.
