Frequently asked questions

How early do I fly in?

Fly in the day before surgery (some patients arrive 2 days before if labs need to be finalized locally). This lets you rest, hydrate, and meet the surgical team in person before the operation.

How long do I stay in Miami after surgery?

5–7 days for isolated liposuction; 10–14 days for Lipo 360, BBL, or lipoabdominoplasty. Never fly home before your surgeon clears you due to DVT risk.

What is a recovery hotel?

Partner hotels near the surgical facility with staff experienced in post-op patients — quiet rooms, food service, and on-call medical concierge for garment changes, lymphatic massage, and check-ins.

Do I need a caregiver?

Yes — a responsible adult must be with you for the first 24–48 hours minimum. For larger cases (Lipo 360, BBL, TT combos), plan for a caregiver through the first week.

Is virtual consultation available?

Yes. Most out-of-town patients complete an initial virtual consult with photo review, then an in-person exam the day before surgery. Final surgical planning happens in person.

When is flying home safe?

Most surgeons clear flights at 5–7 days for small cases and 10–14 days for combined cases. Compression garments should be worn during the flight and hydration prioritized. DVT prophylaxis (walking every hour, pneumatic compression) is essential.

Airport transfer?

Coordinated black-car service is standard for post-op transfers to and from MIA or FLL. Ride-shares are not recommended during the first week post-op.
