Out Of Town

It is Time for

Planning your
Cosmetic Surgery Trip

What to consider before your surgery?

Here are some of the aspects you may want to consider before scheduling your cosmetic procedure:

• Weight variations: If you are in the process of losing weight, make sure you have reached your ideal weight and kept it for at least three months before surgery.
• Realistic expectations: Many patients come with pictures of how they would like to look after the procedure. We recommend choosing photos of patients similar to you regarding body structure, height, ethnicity, and weight.
• State of mind: Plastic surgery can significantly increase your self-confidence. Still, we must remember that it will not "fix" other areas of your life in which you may experience some problem.

Your consultation in our office

If you are able to travel to our Aesthetic Center prior to your surgery for an in-office consultation. Your surgeon will meet you to listen and evaluate your concerns, review your options, and give you personalized recommendations to achieve your goals.

Your coordinator will take this opportunity to discuss with you the complete surgical process and safety information related to your travel. The price of your procedure will also be provided, as well as the information on how to be prepared for surgery and medication requirements if needed.

Depending on availability, you may be able to schedule your surgery shortly after your consultation and remain in Miami until the day of your surgery.

virtual consultation

For those who cannot travel for a consultation at our clinic, we invite you to submit your information and schedule a virtual consultation. Contact us online or by phone during business hours by calling our office number.

In order to get the utmost advantage of this type of consultation, there are a few things we will need from you:

• Patient form. Including medical records.
• Pictures of yourself. Including the areas, you wish to treat.
• One hour of uninterrupted time.

Pre-Op Paperwork

Our pre-operative department will send you the specific instructions requested by your surgeon and a prescription for the necessary lab tests. All tests must be performed in your hometown within 30 days before your surgery date. Depending on the results of your preliminary tests, your surgeon may require additional tests. The results are considered expired after 30 days, and it is your responsibility to submit the results to us on time.

Book your flight

Once you are cleared for surgery, it is time to book your flight. To determine your return date, you may take into account the following indications according to your procedure:

We recommend staying five to seven days for the following procedures:

• Breast procedures
• Liposuction
• Eyelid surgery

We recommend that you stay eight to ten days for the following procedures:

• Abdominoplasty
• Brazilian Butt Lift

Please note that all our patients must arrive in Miami the day before their first pre-operative consultation. And return to our aesthetic center for their follow-up consultation with their surgeon to ensure proper healing.

Travel Arrangements

All of our procedures at Prestige Aesthetic Center are performed on an outpatient basis; once the surgery is completed and your post-operative evaluation has been achieved, you will return to your hotel or place of lodging.

If possible, we recommend that you travel with a friend or loved one, especially if the procedure requires a general anesthetic. You may need transportation to and from your hotel, as well as a little extra care on the first night. We will be providing you with detailed instructions on your recovery process when you are discharged.
