Fly to Sacramento for Plastic Surgery
Flying to Sacramento for Plastic Surgery
There's a growing trend in plastic surgery. It's not a new anti-aging device or a new procedure as you might think. The trend is this: more and more people are traveling from their hometowns to seek treatment from the country's premier plastic surgery specialists. It makes perfect sense. By flying to a center of excellence in a major city you get state of the art care and expert treatment while recuperating quietly and anonymously away from home.
Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark have performed plastic surgery in Sacramento for patients from all across the United States and even from other countries. This last year alone, patients from up and down the East Coast, the Pacific Northwest and Central America have come to Sacramento to take advantage of Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark's expertise and their team's commitment to unsurpassed care.
What's the "Fly-in" Process?
Our staff can assist you with your travel plans from start to finish. They can help you set up your itinerary and suggest local accommodations. Most patients book their stay for a week for smaller procedures, and 10 days typically for longer procedures.
We recommend you arrive at least 48 hours before your scheduled procedure to meet with the surgeons, complete paperwork and get situated in your new surroundings. Prior to your visit, we will work with you to ensure any medical tests required can be accomplished through your local primary care doctor or local medical facilities.
We encourage you to travel with a friend or family member who can help take care of you after surgery and provide support while you heal; however, should that not be possible, we have caring staff members who will help you through every step of the process. There are several local hotels with kitchenettes that are very convenient for our patients.
On your first day after surgery, you will likely feel somewhat tired and groggy, so plan on getting plenty of rest. On that day, you will also see Dr. Kaufman or Dr. Clark. By the third and fourth day, you should feel more rested and somewhat more energetic, and we have a host of local attractions should you be interested in venturing forth. Typically, a week after surgery you will meet with Dr. Kaufman or Dr. Clark for another follow-up appointment.
Where Can I Stay During my Trip?
The doctors and their staff make it easy to travel to Sacramento for plastic surgery. The office is located in a suburb of Sacramento called Folsom.
There are two local hotels with which we have a relationship. The first is the Marriott Residence Inn, located approximately one mile away from our office at 2555 Iron Point Rd., in Folsom, CA 95630. The phone number is (916) 983-7289. The other recommended local option is Larkspur Landing at 121 Iron Point Rd, in Folsom, CA 95630; phone number (916) 355-1616. Both these facilities have very reasonable room rates, in the neighborhood of $100 to $150 per night.

How Do you Perform a Consultation for Fly-in Patients?
Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark encourage you to complete the virtual consultation form so they can get a sense of your goals and needs. The virtual consultation process can include a detailed medical history, photos of your current condition and a phone or e-mail discussion of your desired outcome. After this virtual consultation, you will have the information you need to prepare for surgery, but you will still need to meet with Dr. Kaufman or Dr. Clark usually two days before surgery so they can examine you in person and go over the surgical details.
Distance does not need to be a barrier to an in-depth conversation, consultation and information exchange. Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark are committed to providing as much information as you need, and they will answer all your questions so you will be well prepared for surgery.
What if Something Goes Wrong After Surgery?
The overwhelming majority of Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark's Sacramento plastic surgery patients have a great experience that is just what they expect, because the surgeons are as committed to safety as they are to making the entire process pleasant and gratifying. While in Sacramento, you will have continuous access to Dr. Kaufman or Dr. Clark to handle any medical concerns and, once you return home, they can connect with local medical resources should the need arise.
Flying in for an expert medical treatment is easier than ever. Most of our fly-in patients find the option offers multiple benefits. They:
- Enjoy the opportunity to see a new area
- Relax and recover in privacy and anonymity, released from everyday stresses and demands
- Take advantage of the expertise of highly-trained plastic surgeons committed to beautiful, natural results
We invite you to begin the process with the virtual consultation. Or call us at (916) 235-8838 if you have questions. We look forward to meeting you in the near future.
