Important Information for Out-of -Town Cosmetic Surgery Guests |
| Important Information for Out-of-Town Patients: | ||
| As we see many patients from out of town, Dr. DeWire and his staff will do their utmost to make your Cosmetic Surgery trip to Richmond rewarding and enjoyable. Whether you are having surgery in our AAAASF-certified Office Surgical Suite, or at nearby Doctors Hospital, we will provide helpful suggestions to maximize your comfort, and minimize your time away from home. Reasonably priced lodging is | readily available within a few miles of my office. Based on patient recommendations, I would suggest you consider the hotels that are listed below. Generally the best hotel deals can be obtained by requesting corporate rates or by using services such as Priceline.com or Hotels.com . Advanced Art of Cosmetic Surgery has no commercial affiliation with any hotel or hotel brokering service. | |
| How
does it work for Out-of-Town Patients?
|
||
| We try to tailor out-of-town consultations and surgeries to fall on consecutive days, and do a compressed follow-up aiming to get patients home on the 3rd or 4th day post-op, but this leads to some logistical hurdles. Since it is difficult for patients to describe what I will see at consultation, and since I need this data well in advance of an out-of-town consultation, I request patients call the office (804 - 285-4400) to talk to the staff about specifics of their health history, as well as habits such as smoking, use of medicines and homeopathics. I also request a set of patient photos (front, both sides and 45 degree quarter-view photos -- no faces). This allows me to make a good estimate of the potential need for skin tailoring (mastopexy), as well as estimate the | volume range of implants needed. Since surgical patients may require some help in the early hours post-op, it is important that all out- of- town patients have a companion at discharge, or we can put you in touch with a private- duty nursing agency, beforehand, to provide this for you on the day of surgery. Currently some local hotels have arranged favorable rates and transportation for out-of-towners, to make your stay as pleasant as possible. There are ample activities available for visitors to Richmond, even those who are recuperating from surgery (Museums, Parks, etc.) An online copy of the information sheet , questionnaire, and pre-op recommendations are found here LINK, or it can be obtained by requesting it via e-mail to Dr. DeWire | |
