Traveling Patients

Should you desire plastic surgery at the offices of Park Avenue Smart Lipo™, we can perform it for you no matter where you call home. Many of our patients routinely fly in for surgery from around the country and from around the world because of the easy accessibility of our New York City location. While our specialists deliver expert service, we'll also assist you (and anyone accompanying you) in arranging for hotel accommodations until your Smart Lipo treatment is over. It's as simple as that.

All patients are assured expert care and treatment by a New York State-licensed Plastic Surgeon. You can fly-in on a convenient date, based on your schedule. Our staff will guide you through every step. It all takes place in three steps:

Step One - Initial consultation

Come to our New York City office for an initial in-person consultation.

This initial examination is an important part of the process as it helps to determine the future course of action and also keeps you informed of the steps you need to take to prepare for surgery and the time period required for recovery.

Those finding it difficult to travel can arrange for an educational and informative virtual consultation over the Internet with one of our non-physician staff members. The purpose of the virtual consultation is to provide you an opportunity to obtain more information about the SmartLipo procedure to assist you in deciding whether to travel to our New York City office for an initial in-person consultation with one of our plastic surgeons. In addition, the virtual consultation enables us to obtain from you certain preliminary information about your medical history and medical condition which our plastic surgeons can review subsequent to your virtual consultation but prior to your in-person consultation to assist them in determining your eligibility for SmartLipo treatment. If, after conducting a virtual consultation, you are still interested in obtaining SmartLipo treatment, the next step would be to schedule an in-person consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.

Step Two - Scheduling the visit and pre-surgery examination

After your initial consultation, if you decide to go ahead with your SmartLipo procedure, we will explain the scheduling options and provide assistance with hotel arrangements. We will also arrange for your pre-surgery medical examination, by one of our trained plastic surgeons, to confirm your medical eligibility for surgery. To secure dates for surgery, you are required to pay a deposit by either check or credit card. Final payment needs to be made at the pre-operative visit.

Shortly after your SmartLipo treatment is scheduled, you will receive copies of various consent forms and useful instructions for you to review. On the first day you arrive, one of our plastic surgeons will meet with you to conduct a detailed pre-operative medical examination, give you pre- and post-operative instructions and go over the consent forms with you. After we have explained everything and answered all of your questions, you will then sign all of the consent forms.

Step Three - Surgery and recovery

SmartLipo will be performed the next day by one of our trained surgeons. Following the procedure, it is recommended that you remain in New York City approximately 7-10 days to ensure a safe recovery.
