What is a typical wait time between the consultation and the surgery?

 Each office will be different, however in our practice most patients are able to get on our surgery schedule within 3-4 weeks after the consultation.More important than the wait time is finding a surgeon who can give you a natural result, and who has lots of experience with  both a blepharoplasty and chin implant procedures

Thank you for a wonderful question. Since the procedures you mentioned are considered "minor" in nature, it is reasonable to have these performed within a week of consultation assuming your surgeon has availability. So long as you are in good health and have not recently (within the past week or so) taken any blood thinning products (ie aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory meds etc.) you should be good to go. Finding a surgeon who performs these types of procedures "in house" may be a better option since finding time to schedule on short notice is usually easier when the surgeon performs procedures under his/her own roof. Of course timing is a consideration when selecting a surgeon, but more important is your comfort level with him/her. Be sure you make a good connection during consultation and have mutual trust.

Every practice is different and waiting time is also dependent on the nature and length of the procedure. I can schedule eyelid surgery within a few weeks in my accredited OR. However, for breast reductions, which are performed in hospital, I have a limited amount of OR time and am booked out for months in advance. Waiting time can also be seasonal as well.
