Planning Your Visit to Los Angeles
Successful surgical travel requires advance planning and coordination. We recommend the following timeline for international patients:
Initial Consultation Options
Virtual Consultation: Before traveling to Beverly Hills, many international patients begin with a virtual consultation to discuss goals, review medical history, and determine candidacy for desired procedures. This allows Dr. Sayah to provide preliminary recommendations and help you plan your in-person visit.
In-Person Consultation: Your first visit to The Sayah Institute includes comprehensive evaluation, detailed discussion of surgical options, review of before-and-after photos, and development of your personalized treatment plan. This appointment typically requires 60-90 minutes.
Pre-Operative Preparation
- Medical Clearance: If you have pre-existing health conditions, obtain medical clearance from your primary physician before traveling. We can coordinate directly with your healthcare providers to ensure all necessary documentation is complete.
- Laboratory Testing: Complete required lab work either at home or through facilities we recommend in Los Angeles. We provide detailed instructions about necessary tests based on your specific procedure and medical history.
- Timing Recommendations: Plan to arrive in Los Angeles at least one day before your surgical date, allowing time to adjust to travel, meet with Dr. Sayah for final preparations, and ensure you are well-rested for surgery.
Recovery and Return Home
- Recovery Timeline: Dr. Sayah will provide specific recovery guidelines based on your procedure. Most surgical patients require 7-14 days in the Los Angeles area for initial healing and suture removal before traveling home.
- Comfortable Accommodations: Recovering in a luxury hotel near our office allows easy access for follow-up appointments while providing the comfort and services essential for healing. We recommend accommodations with room service, concierge assistance, and quiet environments.
- Travel Clearance: Before your return journey, Dr. Sayah will ensure you are medically cleared for air travel. We provide detailed post-operative instructions, prescriptions, and contact information for any questions after you leave Los Angeles.
- Long-Term Follow-Up: We schedule virtual follow-up appointments at appropriate intervals and can coordinate with plastic surgeons in your home country if ongoing care is needed, though most international patients prefer returning to Dr. Sayah for any future treatments.
