Five Steps for Out-of-Town Plastic Surgery Patients
1. Contact Us
Simply fill out our contact form or give us a call to get started. We will have a brief conversation to get your contact information and learn more about your needs and goals.
2. Photos for Your Consultation
If you schedule a virtual consultation with one of our surgeons, you will be asked to send along photographs prior to your appointment. Pictures of the area to be treated will be viewed by your surgeon in order to help them understand your needs and your options prior to your virtual consultation.
3. Virtual Consultation
Your virtual consultation appointment is your opportunity to meet your surgeon, ask any questions, and discuss your concerns and goals. Your surgeon will create a treatment plan based on this discussion, although plans may be adjusted after your first in-person exam. Our team will also discuss pricing estimates and financing options with you. You will need to place a deposit to secure your surgery date.
4. Preoperative Appointment
You should plan to arrive in the Houston area at least two days prior to your surgery date. We will schedule an in-person appointment that will serve as your pre-operative exam as well as give you the opportunity to discuss any last-minute concerns or questions. We will review pre-operative guidelines and provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions.
5. Initial Recovery
Your recovery period will depend on the type of procedure you have. Your care team will give you personalized guidelines and time estimates for recovery. In general, you should expect to remain in the Houston area for several days after surgery for your initial recovery and follow-up appointment. Additional follow-up appointments and communication can take place virtually.
Additionally, we can assist in arranging for local overnight or extended recovery for patients who wish to utilize a trusted recovery house or local nursing care.
