Our Procedures-Ready for New You?
Plastic surgery procedures can help revitalize and rejuvenate one's appearance. Each person's face and body has its own unique qualities and characteristics. Therefore, it is important to have a full understanding of all procedures before undergoing any form of plastic surgery.
What To Expect With Every Procedure
Consultation
Every procedure performed by Chesapeake Plastic Surgery begins with an in-depth consultation. After a short wait in our waiting area, you will be escorted into a spacious consultation room by a member of our staff. Our patient care coordinator will ask you a few questions about your past medical history.
Be sure to discuss with either Dr. Barlow or the registered nurse with your concerns, goals and expectations for the procedure at this time.
Scheduling
After your consultation, you will be introduced to our Surgical Coordinator and you will go over a detailed quote that includes the surgeon's fees and the operating room/anesthesia fees and she will answer any other questions you may have. Also, she can provide you with information about the various financing options available to you.
If you would like to go ahead and book your surgery, we require 10% deposit of the surgeon's fees to hold your surgical date. You and she will decide on a date for surgery and a date for your preoperative appointment, which will be approximately one to two weeks prior to your surgery date.
The Procedure
Dr. Barlow performs surgical procedures at Inova Fairfax Hospital and Inova Alexandria Hospital. Please keep in mind that you will see the doctor on the day of your surgery before any anesthesia is given, and you will have an opportunity to talk to him just prior to your surgery
All aspects of the surgery will be discussed with you prior to this day. If you do have any further questions, we suggest our patients make a list to discuss with the doctor just prior to the surgery.
Following the procedure, you will be given detailed post-surgical care instructions.
Follow Up Care
After the procedure, our Patient Care Coordinator will call you to check on your progress. During the healing process, it is important to remember that Dr. Barlow and our staff are always available help you in any way. A post operative appointment will be scheduled in order for you and Dr. Barlow to evaluate your progress.
