OUT OF TOWN PATIENTS
Traveling Patients
As a renowned plastic surgeon, patients travel from across the globe to seek out Dr. Donald B. Yoo for his expertise in the most innovative techniques in rhinoplasty, facelift and eyelid surgery. Whether you are traveling from Beverly Hills and the greater Los Angeles area, or from Asia, Europe, or South America, we have got you covered. Our office will provide concierge service from the initial consultation all the way through your full post-operative recovery to ensure a seamlessly smooth surgery experience.
Virtual and In-Person Consultation
Many out of town and out of country patients will choose to have the initial consultation with Dr. Donald B. Yoo virtually through video conferencing. Prior to this consultation our office will instruct you how to take photos of your face at standardized angles, and ask you questions about your past medical and surgical history as well as your cosmetic concerns. During your virtual consultation, Dr. Yoo will evaluate those photos and also use them to perform photo-morphing to simulate possible ways to address your cosmetic concerns, and the expected surgery results.
After this initial virtual consultation, an in-person consultation and preoperative visit is required prior to surgery. Most patients will travel to Beverly Hills the day before surgery for this in-person visit, during which time Dr. Donald B. Yoo will perform a comprehensive examination, perform additional photo-morphing based on standardized photos taken in the office to finalize the plan, and discuss in further detail the surgery and what to expect during surgery and recovery. During this preoperative appointment you will also receive a post-operative care package filled with all of your prescription medications, and all the things necessary to take care of yourself after surgery.
