People look in the mirror on a daily basis and see something they would like to change about themselves. It is human nature to want to continually improve on what we were born with, but more and more people are finding that the changes they seek cannot be taken care of with hair color change or different make-up. These people are looking for changes that can improve their appearance more permanently. These are the people who consider medical or dental procedures as an option.

1) Complete the Contact Us form: We would like to help you make your dreams turn into a reality, but you must take the first step by contacting us. You can call or email us with your questions by filling the Contact Us form. We will answer your questions and then will be happy to schedule you for an in-person consultation with our specialist. We understand that an in-person consultation can be seen as an intimidating or unnerving experience. Our goal is primarily to educate the patient about the surgery in question, answer all of your questions and ensure that you feel comfortable, confident and relaxed.

2) Meeting the Doctors You will meet your doctor in a private, comfortable consultation room where you will spend time communicating your specific desires and wishes. The doctor will examine you and give you his advice on how to best achieve the results that you desire.

Many patients, across the miles (domestically and internationally), have found our doctor's surgical skills, patient care and state-of-the-art techniques to be well worth the trip. Imagine taking off for vacation, and actually returning looking and feeling rejuvenated and refreshed!! Your vacation will have taken years off your appearance!

MWe understand that it is often inconvenient, time-consuming and expensive for patients, who live far away from our facility to travel long distances by car, train or flight to our office for a consultation then travel back again a few weeks later for surgery. We have designed a program to facilitate your experience that will allow you to determine the options that are available to you with ease and understanding. Here's how it works:

7) Scheduling Your Trip

We would be happy to assist you with your trip. We can help with airport pick-up and drop-off, accommodation, transportation, arranging sight-seeing.

You should arrive at least 36 hours prior to your scheduled procedure.

Try to arrive between Sunday night to Wednesday night.

You will be scheduled for an in depth in-person Consultation and Pre-Operative Testing on your first day here and surgery is generally scheduled for 9am the following day.

Surgery is performed Monday through Friday, unless there is a holiday.

Surgery is not performed on Saturday or Sunday.

Therefore, an example schedule is as follows –

Arrive Sunday night, Consultation and Pre-Op testing is scheduled for Monday and Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. Or if you arrive Wednesday night, your Consultation and Pre-Operative testing is on Thursday and Surgery can be scheduled for Friday.

8) Recovery

We advise all patients that fly-in for surgery performed under general anesthesia, to spend at least the first night at the surgical facility thus ensuring any required medical attention necessary. If the surgery involves multiple procedures, you will be advised to stay for more than one night, depending on your surgery. In the days that follow we will see you post-operatively and depending upon the procedures that have been performed you may return home 2 - 14 days later.
