Four critical checkpoints across your preparation.

Understand deposit policies, cancellation terms, clinic promotions, and written commitments before signing contracts or transferring funds.

• Clarify whether your quote locks in facility and anesthesia rates or only surgeon fees.
• Review cancellation cutoff dates and non-refundable deposit terms in writing.
• Confirm what happens if medical clearance is delayed or surgery must be rescheduled.

Organize your clinic's preparation requirements, assemble questions for your treating team, arrange local lodging, and build realistic travel & support plans.

• Align clinic lab deadlines (CBC, BMP, PT/INR, EKG, etc.) with local testing turnaround times.
• Plan appropriate South Florida lodging within the clinic's required proximity radius.
• Verify designated adult caregiver policies required for surgical discharge.

Know exactly who you are meeting, confirm surgical marks and treatment plans, and understand optional add-ons, garment choices, and remaining costs.

• Confirm whether you are meeting your primary surgeon or coordinator at pre-op.
• Review surgical marks, planned incisions, and expectations together calmly.
• Understand optional in-clinic purchases (foam pads, compression boards, post-op garments).

Plan practical recovery support, realistic time away from work, post-op communication channels with your surgeon's staff, and garment fit/exchange logistics.

• Establish the direct communication channel for urgent clinical questions with the nursing team.
• Schedule lymphatic drainage massages in advance with licensed massage professionals.
• Prepare stage-two garment sizing and exchange plans as postoperative swelling subsides.
