The holiday season marks one of the busiest and most joyful times of the year—filled with family gatherings, travel, parties, and long-awaited time off. It’s also one of the most strategic moments to invest in yourself.

At Dr. John Burns Plastic Surgery and JOLA DALLAS, we see a surge in both surgical and non-surgical treatments between November and January as patients prepare for the holidays and enter the New Year feeling renewed and confident.

Whether your goal is a subtle glow-up or a full transformation, this guide will help you plan your timing, treatments, and goals beautifully.

Surgical Procedures Patients Request Most During the Holidays

Cooler temperatures, cozy clothing, and built-in time off make winter ideal for surgeries that require downtime. These procedures dominate the holiday calendar:

✔ Breast Augmentation & Breast Lift

Faster recoveries and natural results are now the standard thanks to modern options like
👉 Motiva® implants
👉 Preservation Breast Augmentation
👉 PRESERVE® Minimally Invasive Technique

✔ Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A transformative favorite for patients wanting a flat, sculpted abdomen.
