The Day
Of Surgery
On the day of surgery, you report directly to the Advanced Plastic Surgery entrance. Once in the waiting room, you will be greeted by our surgery nurse, who will accompany you through the pre and post-operative process.
The space itself is calming and expansive with an abundance of natural light. You will recognize the signature color and themes associated with Advanced Plastic Surgery. Once settled in the pre-op area, you will meet with your anesthesiologist who will be with you during the entire surgery. You will also meet with Dr. Timek who will complete your surgical markings before being escorted to the operating room.
Following your procedure, you are transferred to the recovery room. Our top priority in recovery is assuring your comfort and well-being. You will be accompanied by our surgery nurse until you recover. Once recovered, you are escorted by your nurse, through a private exit, directly to your waiting companion or family member.
