Why Winter Is the Best Time for Body Contouring

Many people tend to put their aesthetic goals on hold over the winter months, but actually, winter is the perfect season to have that body contouring procedure. Cooler weather allows you to heal comfortably while avoiding sun exposure and heat, and compression garments are much more comfortable under winter clothing than summer outfits. You’ve avoided the spring rush, and by the time swimsuit season comes around, you should already be enjoying your complete results.

Whether you’re considering a breast lift, a reduction, or another procedure, Dr. John Compoginis will deliver a fully personalized experience that achieves the results you’re looking for well ahead of summer. A double board-certified expert in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Compoginis serves Newport Beach and the surrounding areas with a full suite of body contouring procedures.

Breast Augmentation in Newport Beach, CA

Having your breast augmentation done during the winter months gives you several key advantages during the healing process. Cooler temperatures help to keep swelling down, while layered clothing makes it much easier to conceal compression garments and initial changes in your chest contour. During your consultation, Dr. Compoginis will review various implant shapes and sizes with you to create a result that harmonizes with your natural proportions seamlessly.

Recovery from breast augmentation typically requires one to two weeks before returning to most normal activities, and four to six weeks for more intensive activity. By spring, you’ll have fully healed and feel confident in form-fitting clothing and swimwear.

Breast Lift

Whether due to pregnancy, dramatic weight changes, aging or other factors, sagging or drooping breasts can have detrimental effects on confidence. A breast lift repositions breast tissue and elevates the nipple to create a more youthful and refreshed look.

Winter timing offers several key advantages for the recovery process. Supportive surgical bras are easily concealed under winter clothing, and colder weather means less sweating, which means less chance of irritating your incisions as they heal in the early phases.

Dr. Compoginis carefully selects from three primary incision techniques (anchor, lollipop or periareolar) based on your anatomy and the degree of correction needed. His surgical precision minimizes visible scarring while maximizing lift and symmetry. Final results emerge over three to six months as swelling subsides and tissues settle.

Call (949) 659-3599 (Newport Beach) or (661) 537-3030 (Palmdale) to discuss breast lift surgery with Dr. Compoginis and discover how winter can be the best time for your procedure.

Breast Reduction

Overly large breasts often come with functional as well as aesthetic concerns. They can cause chronic back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, poor posture and low activity tolerance. Breast reduction provides immense relief for women affected by these issues, and opting to have your procedure in the winter is helpful in a number of ways. Cooler weather makes compression garments more comfortable, and you won’t have to worry about missing out on fun outdoor activities during your recovery.

Dr. Compoginis approaches each breast reduction with both aesthetic and functional goals in mind. He removes enough tissue to alleviate the above symptoms while creating proportionate, attractive contours. His double board certification in general surgery and plastic surgery gives him comprehensive surgical expertise for optimal results and patient safety.

Schedule your breast reduction consultation by calling (949) 659-3599 (Newport Beach) or (661) 537-3030 (Palmdale).

Gynecomastia Treatment

Many men with enlarged breast tissue or excess fat in the chest area, also known as gynecomastia, feel self-conscious about their appearance to the point where they avoid activities like swimming. During gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Compoginis carefully removes this excess tissue and fat to leave behind a firmer and more masculine contour. Depending on the severity, liposuction or surgical excision may be used to remove the excess tissue.

Winter offers the perfect opportunity for men who want to address their gynecomastia discreetly. By the time swimsuit season comes around, especially when factoring in Dr. Compoginis’s ability to create very small and well-concealed incisions, you will feel fully confident in your own skin once again.

Contact Dr. Compoginis at (949) 659-3599 (Newport Beach) or (661) 537-3030 (Palmdale) to schedule your gynecomastia consultation.

Pec Implants

Some men, no matter how much they exercise, struggle to develop the chest muscle definition they’re looking for. Pec implants work especially well for men with naturally thin or asymmetrical chests. In this procedure, Dr. Compoginis will place solid silicone implants beneath the pectoral muscle to create a fuller and more masculine contour. He will size and position your pec implants to create a completely natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your overall physique.

Having your pec implant procedure done in winter makes it easier to comply with activity restrictions, as there are far fewer outdoor sports or events to miss out on. Men also enjoy the ability to recover more privately as they wear compression garments under their clothing.

Call (949) 659-3599 (Newport Beach) or (661) 537-3030 (Palmdale) to discuss pec implant surgery with Dr. Compoginis and discover how winter can launch your body transformation.
