How to skip validation in django model serializers?

Its a general question. I have a code where I have implemented the validation of the serializer. Now when I make a post request and validate the data by is_valid function, it should run the validate method. But when I make a patch request it validates the data again. I want to skip this part because in my validate function I am validating data using some fields which are sent by the client during the post request but not during the patch request. I am not sure how to deal with this. Can someone help me with this ?
