Out of Town Patients

How to Book Your Surgical Stay in Fabulous Las Vegas

At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we are dedicated to making things easier for you. Our out-of-town patients are pleased to discover that we take care of planning the surgical procedures, as well as the entire visit to Las Vegas. If you are from out of town, there are four steps to planning your operation:

• Email/Phone Consultation
  Out-of-town patients can email their cosmetic concerns to our practice, which should include up-to-date digital photos of the areas of their bodies that they would to address. Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will review the photos and discuss all cosmetic surgery options with the patient on the phone or via email.
• Payment
  Once the doctors have talked with the patient about his or her surgical options and an operation date is set and confirmed by both parties, the patient should email all personal information to our practice. Payment by check or credit card is due two weeks before the procedure. We offer a variety of financing options to make your operation more affordable. Contact our practice to learn more about the specific financing options that are available to you. In addition, we can help you book your entire Las Vegas stay. We work with a number of hotels to provide you with accommodations of the highest quality.

• Pre-operation Visit
  Once patients arrive in Las Vegas, they will meet with Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn for a pre-operation visit. At this time, the doctor will discuss the entire procedure with the patient and complete a thorough examination. Patients will also have the chance to discuss any questions or concerns they may have regarding treatment.
• Recovery
  Our surgeons highly recommend that you remain in the Las Vegas area for a period of time after the operation; the timeframe varies per procedure performed. Doing so can help us keep track of your healing during the crucial initial stages of the recovery process. For certain procedures, our surgeons recommend that patients stay at an aftercare surgical facility, a serene retreat that can house individuals as they recover. Our practice also works around your schedule when planning post-operative follow-up appointments.
