Dr. Thomas Bartell is a Madison based “plastic surgeon near me”. Dr. Bartell is Madison’s only board certified plastic surgeon who focuses on below-the-neck procedures, which makes him highly sought-after for cosmetic surgery like breast augmentation, tummy tucks and liposuction. Not only does he proudly provide his services for those living in Madison, but commonly sees patients who travel from surrounding areas throughout the Midwest. We have put together some information to better help these who may be coming to Dr. Bartell from out of town if you don’t have a plastic surgeon you trust near you. Below you will find some common surrounding cities with travel advice as well as post-surgical instructions. Your comfort is our top priority. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Patient safety is the highest priority at Dr. Bartell’s surgery center. For this reason, we require that all patients have someone, a family member or friend, to drive them home, to your hotel or to wherever they are going. Sorry, cabs are not allowed. Family members or friends are not required to stay during the duration of the procedure, but if they leave the clinic waiting room, they will be asked to leave a cell phone number where they can be reached.
Most of the time it is completely fine to travel back home after your surgery. If you are taking the trip by car, many people like to lean their seat back due to the pressure of the seat belt, another good reason to have someone you trust be your driver. Also make sure you follow your surgeon’s after care instructions exactly. Any medications he prescribes for pain should be used according to the prescription if needed to make your trip home and your healing process more comfortable.
Some people, after having plastic surgery, find it’s difficult to eat and drink for a couple days after their surgery. Eating normally is extremely important, however, to promote healing and to keep you healthy while recovering.
