Are pre-op visits a standard-of-care for facelifts?

March 10, 2016
Asked By:DinaTelli in Columbus, OH

I had a consult with a reputable PS I really like. Called the following week & scheduled my procedure for 6 or 7 wks later; gave a deposit. A month prior to my procedure date, I asked about scheduling a pre-op visit. The tech said they don't usually do them, that they're not really necessary. I asked about pre & post-op instructions. They don't like to mail the pre-op too early because people lose them & I'll get the post-op & scripts the morning of my procedures. Sound right?

Answer: Is meeting your plastic surgeon several weeks BEFORE your planned #facelift day mandatory? of course it is.
