Arranging Your Surgery

From the first phone call to your return home, our team provides the support and guidance you need at every step.

• Initial Contact: You initiate the process with a call or email, and we guide you through the rest.
• Virtual Assessment: Your surgeon evaluates your needs based on photos, ensuring you’re a good candidate for your chosen procedure.
• Consultation: Our patient care consultant goes over costs and insurance coverage and walks you through the preoperative, recovery, and accommodation details.
• Scheduling and Preparation: A deposit reserves your surgery date, and comprehensive instructions and consent forms are provided well in advance.
• Personalized Pre-Op Review: 2 weeks before the surgery, our physician’s assistant revisits your health history and preoperative guidelines to confirm that everything is set.
• Arrival and Consultation: You arrive 1 to 2 days before surgery to allow time for a detailed in-person consultation with your surgeon.

Post-Surgery Care

Post-surgery care is crucial. To guarantee you receive the necessary medical attention, we require:

• An overnight stay at an accredited aftercare facility
• Postoperative appointments at our center
• A recommended 7 to 14-day stay in the area for monitoring and follow-up care, depending on your procedure and progress

Connecting Your Care With Your Primary Physician

We recommend notifying your primary care physician of your upcoming surgery and coordinating follow-up. This ensures continuity of care and peace of mind as you return home.
