Hey Brentwood! 🍂 fall's here, and with the leaves turning and that crisp Tennessee air rolling in, it's got us thinking about fresh starts. If you've been eyeing a little facial refresh—whether it's smoothing out summer sun spots or prepping for holiday glow—fall might just be your golden window. As a fellowship-trained, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Ashley Guthrie sees this time of year as prime for everything from laser skin rejuvenation to subtle injectables. Why? Less sun, more privacy, and just enough downtime before the festive frenzy. Let's dive into why fall is ideal for facial plastic surgery in Brentwood, TN, and how you can step into sweater weather feeling like your most confident self.

Less Sun, Better Healing: The Recovery Advantage

Summer's over, and so is the intense UV battle. Fall means shorter days and milder rays, which is a game-changer for procedures that need you out of the sun. Lasers, chemical peels, and even surgical tweaks like blepharoplasty heal faster without the risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring.

Protect Your Results from Sneaky Sun Damage

Direct sunlight can undo your progress—think uneven tone after a CO2 laser. In fall, you're naturally covering up more, making it easier to stick to that post-treatment SPF routine. Dr. Guthrie always says, "Sun protection isn't optional; it's essential for long-lasting results."

Compression and Comfort in Cooler Temps

Whether it's a gentle facelift or neck lift, fall's chill makes wearing any needed compression gear feel like a breeze. No sweaty discomfort—just cozy recovery under a light scarf.

Pro tip: If you're in Brentwood, our milder fall weather means you can ease back into outdoor walks sooner, boosting circulation and healing.

Non-Surgical Glow-Ups for Busy Schedules



Not ready for the scalpel? fall's perfect for quick-hit treatments that fit around school runs or tailgates. At Guthrie Facial Plastic Surgery, we love helping you sneak in a session without missing a beat.

Lasers and Peels: Erase Summer's Souvenirs

Got sunspots or texture from beach days? CO2 laser treatments or chemical peels work wonders now—downtime aligns with indoor hygge vibes. Patients often see that "just-vacationed" glow by mid-November.

Injectables: Botox, Fillers, and That Holiday-Ready Lift

Quick win: Book a "fall refresh" combo—many see it as the ultimate pre-holiday investment.

Privacy Perks: Heal Without the Spotlight

Fall fashion is your secret weapon. Oversized sweaters, hats, and scarves? They camouflage any temporary redness or swelling way better than summer tanks. Plus, with fewer big events until Thanksgiving, you've got breathing room to rest and recharge.

Mental Boost from Low-Key Recovery

Recovery isn't just physical—it's about feeling supported. Our Brentwood patients tell us they love the quieter season for focusing on self-care, emerging refreshed for holiday photos.
