Fly-In Program
New York Cosmetic Surgery Fly-In Program
If you would like to see Dr. Klapper for a consultation but do not live in the New York City area... We have a solution. Our patients come from all over the International Community. Our office staff will help you arrange your "fly in..." With three International airports serving our Manhattan office and 100's of hotels just minutes away. We will help you plan every step of the way...
Step One - The Initial Contact
- Fly-in for a personal consultation and exam (ideal for the person who can afford to travel and/or who prefers to meet with the doctor and staff before making any decisions)
- Send-in photos and we will prepare a consultation by means of these photographs and your completed medical history forms. Please send a cover letter outlining your expectations, so that we can fully understand and appreciate your goals. You will usually receive a response within a week or two from your package arrival date. (ideal for the person who is looking for a cost-effective way to determine whether or not Dr. Klapper feels they can be improved and what options may be available)
Dr. Klapper will assess if you are a candidate for the procedure you desire. You will be contacted by our Patient Coordinator and advised of the assessment and when applicable, all fees for surgery and related expenses. We will also suggest hotel and/or post-operative care accommodations, as well as discuss your proposed length of stay New York City.
Step Two - Scheduling
The scheduling process begins when you have decided that surgery is right for you. Our Patient Coordinator will offer available dates (usually a Monday/Tuesday combination). A deposit (payable by check or credit card) will be required to secure dates, and final payments will be collected at the pre-operative visit. For your convenience we accept all major credit cards. The first day will be spent in our office covering physical examination, pre and post-operative instruction, and review and signing of all consents. (A packet containing copies of all consents and instructions is mailed to you upon scheduling, so that you can peruse these at your leisure while at home, and thus be fully prepared). We allow two hours for this visit so that all questions can be answered. The next morning surgery will be performed.
Step Three - Recovery
Typically fly-in patients must plan on staying New York City for approximately 1 to 2 weeks Depending on the amount of surgery performed, this length of stay may be adjusted; however, it is important to allow for the proper amount to ensure a healthy and safe recovery. We want your trip home to be a pleasant one, and that means following all of our guidelines. Your post-op visits will be concentrated into the required length-of-stay. In the event that you may feel a need for medical assistance after returning home, we are available to refer you to a local physician for check-ups. Your health and safety will remain our number one priority. You will return home with more than just memories of your trip to one of the Greatest Cultural Centers in the World... you will return as the new you...
