Traveling for Surgery
Out-of-Town Patients
Many of our patients travel to South Florida for their procedure. Planning the details in advance makes the trip smoother and helps you avoid delays on the day of surgery. Here is how to prepare for your visit to Your Cosmetic Surgery & SPA in Hialeah, just outside Miami.
Before You Travel
- Contact our team before you book anything, so we can confirm we are able to accommodate your procedure and your dates.
- Start with a free consultation. You can request a call or a virtual appointment from any procedure page on this site.
- Ask which medical tests or clearances you need, and complete them before your trip when possible.
- Plan to arrive at least one day before your surgery.

Recovery and Going Home
After your procedure you will need to rest and avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for a few weeks. Your surgeon gives you written instructions for your recovery.
How long you should stay in the area depends on your procedure and on how you are healing. You will need to attend your post-operative appointments, and long flights or drives soon after surgery can increase the risk of blood clots. Do not book your return trip until your surgeon has told you when it is safe to travel.
Bring a responsible adult who can stay with you, at least for the first days after surgery.
Planning Your Budget
Remember to include flights, lodging, meals and local transportation alongside the cost of your procedure. Financing is available for the procedure itself.
Travel Questions
Can I have my consultation before I travel?
Yes. Consultations are free, and you can request a phone call or a virtual appointment so you can speak with our team before making any travel plans.
Do you help with lodging?
We can answer your questions about nearby hotels and what to look for in a place to recover. You make and pay for your own reservation.
How soon can I fly home after surgery?
It depends on the procedure and on your recovery. Your surgeon will tell you when you can travel, so wait for that guidance before booking a return flight.
Do I need someone to come with me?
We strongly recommend it. You will need a responsible adult to take you home from surgery and to help you during the first days of recovery.
