Consultation Process
What to expect.
What happens First?
Book Phone ConsultationFor surgical procedures, your first step is a scheduled phone consultation with our Patient Coordinator.
During this call, we will:
- Learn about your goals
- Answer initial questions
- Discuss timing and general pricing ranges
- Help determine if an in-person consultation is the right next step
This allows your in person visit with Dr. Patel to be more focused and personalized.
Do I need to come in right away?
No. Most surgical patients begin with a phone consultation first.
This saves time and ensures your next step of an in person consultation is appropriate for your goals.
What is the in person consultation?
Intake FormYour in person consultation is a one on one visit with Anand D. Patel, MD to discuss your goals, evaluate your features, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Most consultations last 45 to 60 minutes. During your visit, we will review recommended options, pricing, recovery, and next steps.
Please complete intake form in advance and bring questions, medication information, or inspiration photos if helpful.
If it feels like the right fit, our team will guide you through scheduling your procedure or treatment.
Is there a consultation fee?
Yes. Your 100 fee reserves dedicated time with the doctor and may be applied toward treatment or surgery.
Anesthesia Questions
What are my options?
What type of anesthesia is available?
Local (Awake) Anesthesia
Patients remain awake during the procedure and may receive oral Valium, pain medication, nitrous oxide, topical numbing agents, and injected local anesthetics for comfort.
Some discomfort may occur during the numbing process, and patients are aware throughout the procedure. While many patients choose this option, it may not be the best fit for everyone. Certain procedures also require a different form of anesthesia.
General (Asleep) Anesthesia
Patients are fully asleep and monitored throughout the procedure by a board-certified anesthesiologist. A breathing tube is typically used during surgery to maintain safety and comfort.
This option allows patients to avoid discomfort during the procedure itself, though some temporary after-effects can occur, such as nausea or fatigue during recovery.
Recovery Questions

1 to 2 weeks of staying home and limiting social activities.

2 to 4 weeks
Some subtle swelling can continue improving for months.
When will I feel fully normal again?
