The most popular time for weddings in the United States is typically from late spring to early fall – May to October is considered peak wedding season, with the best weather, longer days, and lovely scenery. During wedding planning, pre-wedding beauty prep may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it definitely requires a little foresight and attention. The sooner you can get a jump on things, the better.
This is especially true when it comes to cosmetic injectables, like Botox and fillers. If you’re a first-timer, you’ll want to find an experienced, reputable provider and get used to how the injections look and what results they deliver. Then, you can book the final ‘tweak’ appointments closer to the wedding. Experts say it’s always a good idea to start Botox injections as soon as possible – at least six months prior to the wedding. They also suggest scheduling your last Botox appointment no later than one month ahead of your wedding date.
Meanwhile, fillers typically last for a longer time than Botox. The longevity depends on the type of filler, where it’s injected, and how your body metabolizes it. It may be best to book your first filler appointment soon after getting engaged – this gives you time to get used to how it looks and feels. If you need a last minute refresh before your wedding, you can come in for a tiny bit more 3-4 weeks ahead of your wedding.
For surgical procedures, you’ll want to plan a little more time. If you’re looking to get breast implants, tummy tuck or liposuction for your wedding, plan your procedure at least 6-9 months before the event. You’ll also want to factor in your wedding dress – you’ll want any body contouring results to be completed prior to your dress fitting, so make sure your timeline includes enough room for multiple fittings.
