What forms do I need to complete before the appointment?
Before your appointment, you will likely need to complete certain forms and paperwork. The specific forms required can vary based on the nature of your consultation or procedure. Commonly, you might be asked to fill out a patient registration form, medical history form, and consent forms. These forms help gather essential information about your health, medical background, and the procedures you are interested in.
After surgery, it’s important to avoid certain activities to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of any complications. You should refrain from strenuous activities such as working out, swimming, and heavy lifting until you have been cleared by Dr. Landford. This period can vary depending on the type of surgery you underwent and your individual healing process. It’s vital to follow our specific instructions regarding activity restrictions to ensure optimal recovery and results.
We understand the downtime for many of our patients can look different. The timeline for returning to work after surgery can vary based on the type of procedure performed and individual healing rates. In general, most patients can expect to return to work within 1-2 weeks following surgery, although this timeframe may be longer for more extensive procedures or if complications arise. The type of work that patients perform can also impact the time they should miss. For example, patients who work remotely can oftentimes return before patients whose job include going to an office.
Plastic surgery, when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Landford, is generally considered safe. Like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, but with proper pre-operative steps, careful surgical technique, and post-operative care, the risks can be minimized.
The number of follow-up visits you should expect after surgery typically depends on the type and complexity of the procedure performed. In general, most patients can expect to have 3-5 follow-up visits with their plastic surgeon. These visits are essential for monitoring your healing progress, addressing any concerns or complications that may arise, and setting you on the path to optimal results.
The price range for cosmetic surgery procedures can vary significantly based on several factors. It’s essential to consult with Dr. Landford to discuss your specific goals and receive an accurate cost estimate tailored to your individual needs.
After the initial consultation with us, you will make one more visit to our office for the surgery itself. Following the surgery, you can expect to have 3-5 follow-up visits for post-operative care and monitoring of your progress. These follow-up appointments are considered the final steps to ensure proper healing and address any concerns or questions you may have during your recovery process.
The time of surgery varies depending on the specific procedure being performed. Some surgeries, such as certain facial rejuvenation procedures or breast augmentation, can last approximately 2-4 hours. Other more complex surgeries may require longer operating times. We will discuss the expected duration of your surgery during your consultation to have a clear understanding of what to expect on the day of the procedure.
The duration for which you’ll need assistance after surgery can vary depending on the type of procedure, as well as individual factors like your overall health and the speed of your recovery. In general, it’s advisable to have someone available to help care for you for at least the first few days following surgery. This may include assistance with activities such as getting in and out of bed, preparing meals, and managing medications. Dr. Landford has a relationship with the nurses who will care for patients and will be able to answer any questions and guide them on any situation that may arise.
After surgery, it’s important to follow our activity restrictions to facilitate the best healing and minimize complications. This typically involves avoiding activities like swimming, heavy lifting, and intense workouts. Submerging incisions in water, lifting heavy objects, or engaging in strenuous exercise can impede the healing process and increase the risk of complications. However, Dr. Landford will usually recommend walking after surgery for blood flow.
You’ll need to wait until your surgeon gives you the clear to begin strenuous physical activities.
