Prepare For Your Appointment
Welcome to the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center
We believe well-informed patients make better decisions and have better outcomes. Here is what your journey with us looks like, from the first call through recovery and beyond.
1. Your initial consultation
- You meet with Dr. Hosn for an unhurried discussion of your goals and concerns.
- He performs a clinical assessment and explains how he can help you reach the result you want.
- You review before-and-after photographs, discuss risks and benefits, and get clear answers to every question.
- Most patients meet with Dr. Hosn at least twice more before surgery, so nothing proceeds until you are ready.
2. Preparing for surgery
- We arrange your pre-operative lab work and any diagnostic tests you need.
- Medical clearance, where required, is coordinated with your primary care physician.
- You receive detailed pre-operative instructions covering medications to avoid and what to bring.
- We help you arrange the support you will need during recovery.
3. Surgery day
- Procedures are performed either at a fully accredited outpatient surgery center or at a local hospital, depending on the type and extent of surgery.
- You are cared for throughout by an experienced, compassionate team.
- Most patients go home the same day. Some procedures, such as a full tummy tuck, include an overnight hospital stay for comfort and monitoring.
4. Recovery and healing
- Most patients see Dr. Hosn at least three times in the six weeks after surgery.
- First few days: rest is essential. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and well managed with medication.
- First one to two weeks: most patients return to light daily activities and desk work.
- Three to six weeks: a gradual return to exercise and more strenuous activity.
- Three to twelve months: final results continue to improve as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
Every patient heals at their own pace. We provide close follow-up care and are always reachable if you have questions or concerns.
5. Long-term results
- With a healthy lifestyle, results from most procedures are long-lasting.
- We discuss how to maintain them, including skin care, weight stability, and non-surgical touch-ups where appropriate.
