Traveling Patients

Travel For Surgery

Patients from across the United States and around the world seek out Dr. Breitbart’s surgical expertise to address their plastic surgery needs. We understand that it may be inconvenient for a patient that lives out of state or abroad to fly to our office for a consultation prior to scheduled surgery. Below are some helpful tips to make the process easier.

STEP 1: Virtual Consultation

Dr. Breitbart provides a convenient and free Virtual Consultation where you can upload photos, ask questions, explain your goals. Upon completing the Virtual Consult, Dr. Breitbart will email you his professional opinion in a preliminary consultation.

STEP 2: Phone/Video Chat

Upon completing the Virtual Consultation, Dr. Breitbart's staff will contact you to schedule either a telephone appointment or live Video Chat session via Skype or Facetime to review your Virtual Consultation with Dr. Breitbart.

STEP 3: Pre-Op Visit

Dr. Breitbart does require a face-to-face visit with his patients prior to conducting surgery in order to check their physical health, medical history, to determine if you are a proper candidate for surgery, and to discuss the surgery in detail.

Planning

Dr. Breitbart's staff will help you determine how long you need to stay after surgery for a healthy recovery so that you can best plan your trip. In general, patients can stay anywhere from five to fourteen days. The staff will also educate you about the recovery process and healing, so you know what to expect before you get here.

Travel

We recognize that when traveling, you may be completely unfamiliar with the areas. Hence, we are happy to assist you in booking your hotel, transportation needed to and from the airport/hotel/doctor's office/surgical center, make recommendations on where to eat, buy groceries, shopping or anything else you might need.

Scheduling

Dr. Breitbart's office staff will make all arrangements for your pre-op and post-op office visits, pre-surgical testing, and surgical arrangements and scheduling.

Recovery

Dr. Breitbart's staff plan a night at a nearby recovery center staffed by nurses for you, if needed. We also request that patients who are traveling have access to a family physician at home. At both of our Manhattan and Long Island offices, we take every measure to ensure your comfort and safety.

I have had a very good experience with Dr. Breitbart during my procedure (breast lift with little breast reduction). I am almost at two months since the surgery, and I am very happy with the size/shape. My scars are still healing (and believe they will be for some time), but everything looks good, including shape/size of nipples.

Anonymous

Breitbart allowed me to come in and see him whenever I had any anxieties, questions, or concerns, even if it wasn't time to see him yet. I very much appreciated these possibly unnecessary doctor visits. Makes a patient feel valued and safe!... HIGHLY RECOMMEND… Only regret? Should have done this sooner in life.

RealSelf Review of Dr. Breitbart

I have been going to Dr. Breitbart for a few years now and have had a few procedures done. I had been to other plastic surgeons but would never ever see anyone other than Dr. Breitbart. Dr. Breitbart has all the qualities you look for in a doctor: Compassion, Strong Work Ethic, Professionalism, Knowledge, Confidence, Humility, and Passion for his work. I have been very pleased with all my results.

I had an extraordinarily positive experience and would do it all over again… I had SmartLipo of the Lower abdomen and flanks. My first interaction and all others with the front-line staff was lovely… Dr. Breitbart is exceptionally professional and exceeded my expectations. Clearly, he has extensive experience in the field, and what I loved the most was his calm demeanor while explaining everything to me from beginning to end.
