You will undergo a thorough evaluation by Dr. Hernandez at your initial visit. She will make recommendations based on your exam and goals. Complete facial rejuvenation surgery often requires more than one procedure which may involve different areas of the face, neck, eyes and brows. During your consultation, you are encouraged to share your concerns and expectations with Dr. Hernandez and her staff who will strive to answer all your questions and guide you in the right direction. Mutual trust and communication between the patient and the physician are essential.
Once you have scheduled your surgery Dr. Hernandez and her staff will be with you every step of the way through your preoperative and postoperative course. A thorough medical history and examination with appropriate laboratory tests will be completed prior to surgery. All surgical procedures are scheduled in our state-of-the-art operating suite which is right on the premises. Anesthesia is provided by a Board Certified M.D. Anesthesiologist. Our overnight suite is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities with Registered Nurses in attendance at all times. After your procedure, Dr. Hernandez will personally attend to your follow-up care.
Fees for aesthetic surgery are customarily paid prior to the surgery. The costs may vary depending on the procedure and/or complexity of the surgery. All costs will be reviewed with you at the time of your initial consultation.
