Dear Charlie

Dear Charlie:

What is the best surgical procedure to have done at this time of year?

- Just Wondering, age 40

Dear Wondering,

With the cooler weather, it's a perfect time for liposuction or a tummy tuck – as both require the patient to wear a tight (girdle-like) compression garment. Although very snug, it feels comfy to wear, yet it could be bothersome in hot weather. Assuming one is a good candidate for body contouring, this Spring makes for great timing too, as summer is just around the corner! With today's shorter recovery periods, you'll be sporting a smokin' body long before the sun comes out!
