When wealth travels for plastic surgery, it’s increasingly coming to San Diego, California. The condensation of high quality board certified plastic surgeons and aesthetic specialists in San Diego closely parallels other top destinations like Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, New York City, and Miami, Florida. San Diego Plastic Surgeons are intimately involved with local biotechnology firms, and are the first to introduce innovations in many cases. Local attractions and mild climate make San Diego a desired spot to heal after procedures and to bring family along for assistance with recovery.
Dr. Steve Laverson, owner of Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery in Sorrento Valley, estimates 25% of his clientele travel from out of town for procedures. “Patients shop the internet for a plastic surgeon whose gallery photos demonstrate the type of result they’re looking for. Everyone wants the most perfect result for their face, breasts, or body, and many are willing to travel for it if they cannot find a doctor near their home with a portfolio of outcomes they like.”
For Plastic Surgery, San Diego provides a restful environment and every level of service to support visitors. “We’ve had patients do vacation rentals, Airbnb, Courtyard by Marriott, The Grand Del Mar, and others,” says Laverson. Some patients are prominent business people, busy professionals, or active socialites in their hometown and prefer to travel for a procedure so friends and colleagues don’t see them for a while after surgery. Many like their procedure(s) to remain confidential, and “vacation” is a great alibi for a more youthful refreshed look.
Another attraction of San Diego is year round sunshine. Full schedules during Spring, Summer, and Autumn drive some to prefer Winter for a cosmetic procedure and recovery. If you’re from Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, or any snowbound state and you’re planning a January or February recovery, San Diego plastic surgery is highly desired.
There are also disadvantages of traveling for Plastic Surgery in San Diego. “There’s no place like home” holds true to some degree for recovery from facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, and other cosmetic procedures. Familiarity of one’s home environment has some value during the recovery period. For this reason, Dr. Laverson recommends that patients drive or fly to San Diego at least two days before their procedure to get acquainted with local geography, to get established in their surroundings, and to prepare transportation and other details. If you travel for Plastic Surgery in San Diego, after your initial recovery and follow up doctor’s visit(s) you return home, but still need longer term communication with your San Diego Plastic Surgeon. Dr. Laverson meets regularly with remote patients electronically on platforms such as Skype or Facetime. Ultimately however, there’s nothing like personal follow up with your surgeon to evaluate your outcome and perform minor adjustments if necessary. These require a return trip to your Plastic Surgeon San Diego. Some visitors justify this second San Diego vacation as medical leave, and eagerly anticipate their post-operative appointment!
