At Clinique K, ‘winter body” takes on a whole new meaning.

Who says you can’t have a beach body this winter?

Why does the summer season get all the attention when it comes to looking great? The ‘Winter Body’ is getting the re-brand it deserves thanks to a variety of surgical procedures that are helping people look their best all year round. Whether you’ll going to be sitting by the fire at the chalet or heading south for a beach vacation, you deserve to look and feel your best. The following plastic surgery procedures are some of the ways Clinique K can help you achieve your ideal winter body:

Bilateral breast augmentation

You just bought a gorgeous, body-hugging cashmere sweater to add to your fall/winter wardrobe. You love the look and feel of your new purchase, but you wish that you ‘filled it out’ a bit more. A bilateral breast augmentation could be the answer. Adding volume to your bust will give you a shapelier silhouette and provide the confidence boost to wear anything from bikinis to tailored suits and sweaters. This might just be the ‘lift’ you need to feel your best this winter. A breast augmentation surgery takes less than an hour to complete and you’ll be back to your usual routine in about one week, minus exercise and heavy lifting. At Clinique K, the breast augmentation operation is performed via a three to five-centimeter incision (depending on the size of the implant), leaving only a fine line at the incision site. The goal is always to achieve the most natural-looking result. We work closely with our patients to determine the best implant type and size, whether the goal is full, perky breasts or a subtle increase in shape and size. These important details are discussed at length with all of our patients during the consultation.

Body contouring for men and women

The winter months can be especially challenging when trying to achieve your ideal winter body. Many of our male and female clientele eat right, exercise regularly, but still notice that some areas of the body seem to stubbornly hold on to fat. For men and women who are already close to their ideal body weight and wish to enhance and sculpt certain areas of the body, liposuction is a great option.  Liposuction works both on removing and redistributing the deep and superficial layers of fat, allowing the surgeon to sculpt certain areas of the body and enhance the underlying muscle definition. For both men and women, this reveals smoother, tighter contours and proportions. Some patients may opt for specialized abdominal sculpting to achieve a more cut and defined look. Ab sculpting surgery, otherwise known as abdominal etching, is a liposuction procedure that removes fat to accentuate the underlying muscles of the abdominal walls. Imagine revealing your new stomach during your mid-winter beach holiday.

Customized Mommy Makeovers

Pregnancy and early motherhood is both a joyful and exhausting time. A time that also changes, stretches and stresses various parts of the body. Many women long to reconnect with the way they looked and felt before they became mothers. Our surgeons and staff have a keen understanding of the emotional and physical motivations of the women who visit the clinic for a Mommy Makeover.  The term Mommy Makeover refers to a specialized combination of breast and body contouring procedures, performed together to improve the physical changes that linger long after pregnancy and breastfeeding. One reason for its popularity is that the mommy makeover has no set components; each procedure is custom-tailored to fit the individual patient’s unique needs. As the breasts and abdomen are the areas of the body that change the most with motherhood, a mommy makeover may include Breast Augmentation, a Breast Lift, Breast Reduction, a Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty), and Liposuction.

Advantage of cosmetic surgery in the cooler months

Fall and winter are the ideal moments to undergo a Mommy Makeover since children are back at school/daycare after the summer break and there are more opportunities for quiet healing time. Choosing to have a surgery like liposuction or breast augmentation in the fall means you can be more discreet about your procedure and cover up without question during the healing process. You will also be ready to flaunt your new silhouette for your mid-winter beach vacation. What’s more, the Clinique K always advises that patients to keep incisions out of the sun, which is less of an issue during our Canadian winters.   Ready to get started on your winter body?
