We then schedule the final preoperative visit on a Monday and your surgery on Tuesday. A deposit will be required to reserve dates, and final payments will be due two weeks in advance of your surgery.
The Monday before your surgery will be spent in our office and will include a directed physical examination and visit with Dr. Shifrin, pre and post-operative instructions, a preoperative photo session and time to re-review and sign all consents.
You will have received your consent forms for leisure review in a packet mailed to you after scheduling. The next morning, surgery will be performed in one of our partner surgery centers. The day after surgery, you will have your first postoperative visit with Dr. Shifrin.
RECOVERY
Out of town patients must plan on staying in Chicago for a minimum of 7 to 10 days after their surgery. The length of stay is dependent on the amount of surgery performed and may be adjusted to fit your anticipated recovery needs. We take care to ensure a healthy and safe recovery. Your postoperative visits will be spread out over your time in Chicago. In the event that we would like for you to be seen by a physician after returning home, we will arrange a referral to a local physician for check-ups.
