Out Of Town Patients
At Envision Cosmetic Surgery, we are proud to welcome out of town patients for a variety of treatments and services. In fact, we commonly receive patients from Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and other areas surrounding Salt Lake City, Utah. Wherever you’re from, we look forward to welcoming you.
To help our patients that will travel, we wanted to give out a little information. First, we can easily perform an online consult. If you send pictures to Dr. Dunkley – drbenjamindunkley@gmail.com – he can give you costs for the procedures and get things moving.
We limit the number of visits you have to make. One is possible, but two is preferred. First visit is three days minimum. Plan to arrive the day before surgery for a face-to-face consult. Your surgery will be the following day. Your first post-op appointment will be the day after surgery. A second visit three to four months out from surgery is ideal.
If you have a tummy tuck, a drain is placed. A physician in your hometown can remove the drain but you must make arrangements beforehand. The drain usually stays in 5-7 days.
We work with a local hotel that offers a continental breakfast. The hotel we use is the Holiday Inn Express located in Murray, Utah. For more information, please call the hotel at 888-465-4329 or visit their website.
Unfortunately people don’t always heal as expected. Though uncommon, occasionally you will need a revision or have an issue while healing. You are responsible for getting to my office or finding a physician in your hometown that can help you should the unexpected arise.
You must have a responsible person with you. Even if your surgery is under mild sedation, the drugs are mind-altering and you cannot drive. Nor should you be responsible for your pain medications. There are services that will provide a medically trained person to stay with you should you need it. Even if you traveled far, without someone to stay with you your surgery will be canceled.
Plan to email pictures at the one-month marks so healing can be assessed. Hundreds of patients have used our services. So far the cosmetic vacations have gone perfect.
