Five Steps for Out-of-Town Plastic Surgery Patients

1. Contact Us

Contact us by phone or contact form so we can get your information and learn more about the procedures you are interested in talking about. Someone from our team will contact you as quickly as possible to get information from you. You will be asked to send pictures so that we can evaluate you prior to your consultation. Please note, this is not in place of a formal consultation but in order to facilitate our discussion.

2. Photos for Your Consultation

Your initial consultation will be done via video telehealth. 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. Photos are generally requested to be sent via your patient portal. These are necessary with out of town consultations to be able to be given a quote estimate the day of 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

In general we request out of town patients be present at least two days prior to surgery in order to receive and fill all prescriptions prior to surgery. This meeting is also important so that a formal physical examination can be performed and measurements can be taken. This allows us to promptly order implants or any other necessary items prior to surgery. During this appointment, you will talk directly with your surgeon and any questions or concerns that have not already been addressed will be. At this visit, you will also learn more about post operative care and instructions. A virtual preoperative visit will also be done by a team member at least two weeks prior to your procedure as well.

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.
