Model

When it comes to cosmetic surgeries that alter the appearance of the delicate area of our face, which is central to our identity, there are two crucial truisms to consider. The first main truth is that it is worth it to save up for top-level care. The second is that seeking a highly qualified surgeon who provides excellent, compassionate service is critical.

Dr. Weinfeld is a board-certified plastic surgeon renowned for his expertise in facial surgeries, particularly rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. Patients come from all over the United States and worldwide to seek his expertise and attentive care.

We have put together a guide for our out-of-state patients to use when planning to travel for surgery with us. A solid plan is the first step to both a wonderful trip and an optimal surgical experience.

Menu of Face and Nose Procedures

Dr. Weinfeld is known for his outstanding work performing facelifts, neck lifts, and nose jobs, the last of which he is globally recognized for. A complete list of all facial procedures Dr. Weinfeld offers can be found on the Portfolio of Procedures page.

Preparing for Surgery with Dr. Weinfeld

Virtual Education Session

In compliance with Texas state law, we do not offer virtual consultations. However, we offer a Virtual Education Session to ensure we can connect with patients from out of town or out of state.

During the Virtual Education Session, Dr. Weinfeld will:

  • Learn your goals and expectations
  • Recommend procedure combinations
  • Set an in-person consultation date

At your in-person consultation, we can officially initiate care. This includes:

  • Establishing a doctor-patient relationship
  • Finalizing a treatment plan
  • Setting a date for surgery

The gap between the Virtual Education Session and your in-person consultation also allows you time to form any questions or concerns you may have about the post-operative process, accommodations, planning, or anything else that comes to mind.

Pre-Operative Testing

As with any surgery, we will request that you order routine lab work that will be sent to us prior to your surgery.

Planning Your Stay in Austin, TX

We want your stay to be as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Use the following information to guide you as you plan the details of your visit for the best experience.

Post-Surgical Follow-Ups

Plan to stay in town for a minimum of 8 days, preferably 10, with the ability to extend to 14 days if needed. This ensures you can receive the full extent of care necessary and that your recovery is as smooth as possible.

Within the first week after your surgery, you will have at least two or three in-person follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.

You will have direct access to Dr. Weinfeld after hours and on weekends. You will also have close communication with the office during business hours should you need assistance or have any concerns. We are here to support you every step of the way, and we know it’s important for you to be able to reach us at any time.

Caretaker or Companion

It is not safe for anyone to undergo extensive surgery alone. Come with a companion who can help support you or make arrangements if you know someone locally.

If you need help finding qualified medical assistants, our staff has connections and will be happy to assist in arranging a caretaker for your post-operative recovery. Caretakers help with transportation after surgery, hygiene, wound care,  picking up prescriptions, groceries, and meals, and general assistance.

Travel Insurance

Getting travel insurance is highly recommended in case you need to extend your stay. This is sometimes offered as a benefit with credit cards or is attainable through various airlines.

Look for flights that are not restrictive about departure dates, both coming to town and returning home. Flexibility allows for the ideal care and a smooth, stress-free recovery.

We urge you to consider travel insurance to protect your investment in yourself and to ease your mind so you can focus on your procedure and recovery. A comprehensive plan is incomplete without details like this.

What to Pack: Clothing

Be sure to pack comfortable clothes that are easy to put on. Choose loose-fitting tops that button up, and avoid tight necklines. Also, ensure that your clothing is appropriate for the time of year. Consider an extra sweater, cozy socks, as well as light layers.

Hotels & Retail

Many patients choose Airbnb, while others opt for hotels. There are several high-quality, safe, and clean hotels that are reasonably priced and located close to our surgery center. We are not affiliated with these establishments, but provide a shortlist for your convenience.

For shopping and entertainment, we are located near two lovely shopping centers:

  • The Domain is an outdoor mall that has upscale shops, department stores, dining, and a cinema.
  • The Shops at Arbor Walk is an outdoor shopping center with apparel, accessory retailers, and restaurants.

Post-Operative Visits

Virtual Post-Op Follow-Ups

After you travel back home, we will maintain contact with you for routine follow-ups. These will be mainly virtual, for your convenience. Follow-up appointments can be expected at one month, three months, six months, and one year. This schedule is customized to the patient’s needs and the surgery they had.


How Much Does Plastic Surgery Cost in Austin, TX?

The cost of your surgery or combination of surgeries will vary greatly depending on a number of factors. You can ask for a quote during your Virtual Education Session, and at the time of your consultation, you will be given an exact cost along with your treatment plan.
