Consultation Process

What to expect.

  • What happens First?

    For 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.

    Book Phone Consultation

  • 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?

    Your 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 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. 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.


    Twilight or IV Anesthesia: Patients are sedated and monitored throughout the procedure by an anesthesia provider. Anesthesia is provided through an intravenous line. Patients breathe on their own.


    General or “Gas” Anesthesia: Patients are fully asleep and monitored throughout the procedure by an anesthesia provider. A breathing tube and anesthesia machine is used to maintain respirations and anesthetic effect. Potential nausea or fatigue during recovery is highest with this option.

Recovery Questions

What to know.

  • How long after surgery can I resume normal activities?

    • For the first 1-2 weeks, no work at office, exercise, social activities.
    • Desk work from home is ok in the first week.
    • Start 50% exercise at 2 weeks and ramp up to 100% by 1 month.
    • Plan 2 months of recovery before important life events.

  • When will I look normal again?

    Most visible swelling and bruising significantly improves in the first two weeks. However, it does take 6 weeks for 90% of swelling to resolve. The last 10% can take 6 months or more. Healing is progressive, and results continue refining over time.

  • When will I feel normal again?

    Tightness, stiffness, and numbness gradually improve over a 6 month period. Some residual symptoms may take longer.
