At Avenue Aesthetic Surgery, we care for many patients who fly in from all over Australia and overseas. We have established our ‘fly in’ protocols so that all patients – regardless of location – can benefit from our innovative treatments and unparalleled standard of care.Whether you fly in alone or with loved ones, we can take care of you. We will guide you through the entire process from initial consultation to full recovery.
1
Initial enquiry
This is an important first step. Speak to one of our dedicated patient advisors about the procedure, your concerns and goals, the aftercare, options for accommodation as well as the costs involved and have all your questions answered. We want to help you feel comfortable right from the start.
2
Complete assessment form
Our advisor will send you detailed information about the procedure. To help us assess your suitability for surgery, you will be given a link which enables you to provide information and securely upload your photographs. Your photographs will be shown to your practitioner and a video or face-to-face consultation can be arranged with the practitioner of your choice.
3
Meet your doctor
At least two consultations are required before surgery with one of the consultations to be done in-person.
Some patients elect to have a video consultation with their doctor first to discuss their individual goals followed by an in-person consultation at a later date of their choice. During the in-person consultation you will receive your informed consent forms to review. Another consultation is then performed over video with your doctor in order to discuss and sign the informed consent forms.
Alternatively, some patients elect to have their first consultation in-person where they are given their informed consent forms to review. They then have a second consultation over video to review and sign the informed consent forms.
A deposit may be paid and surgery booked 7 days after the second consultation.
