Out-of-Town Patients
Many of our patients come from outside of the Washington, DC metropolitan area—from New York, other parts of the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. We will work closely with you to plan your visit, including travel and accommodations.
Ideally, we would ask you to visit us for a preoperative consultation where we will evaluate you in person, take preoperative photographs, and discuss the various treatment options. We would then schedule a surgical date convenient for you. We often recommend that you fly into town the day before surgery, and come into our office where we would review the surgical plan, provide prescriptions for medications after surgery, and go over your postoperative instructions.
In certain circumstances, we might arrange for another plastic surgeon closer to your home to help with the long-term postoperative care, and we would work with that surgeon in coordinating the best care for you.
In limited circumstances for international patients, we can arrange for one of our surgeons to visit you in your home country to provide some of the preoperative evaluation and postoperative care.
