Surgical Process for Traveling Patients: Step-By-Step

Step 1: Submit Your Inquiry

Begin by completing our online consultation form and uploading clear photos of your areas of concern. Our team will give you instructions on how to take photos of your concern(s) from the front, back, and side profiles. Dr. Ayala will review these images and evaluate your goals to determine which procedures may best achieve your desired outcome.

Step 2: Personalized Evaluation

Dr. Ayala will carefully review your submission and design a preliminary surgical plan tailored to your individual anatomy, preferences, and goals.

Step 3: Virtual Consultation

You’ll meet with Dr. Ayala through a secure video call to discuss what you hope to improve in more detail, after which he will break down your treatment options. During this one-on-one conversation, you will receive information on treatment recommendations, recovery expectations, the surgical timeline, and any questions you may have about your procedure.

Step 4: Customized Surgical Plan & Quote

Following your virtual consultation, our patient care coordinator will provide a surgical quote based on your personalized treatment plan. Our office will then outline next steps, including pre-operative requirements and travel recommendations.

Step 5: Schedule Your Procedure

If you decide to move forward, our team will help arrange your surgery date and provide guidance for travel, accommodations, and local recovery options to make your visit as comfortable and convenient as possible.
