Atlanta serves as an excellent destination for those seeking top-tier medical care, including plastic surgery. Dr. Daraei, a renowned facial plastic surgeon in Atlanta, welcomes patients from across the country. To ensure a comfortable and seamless experience, we’ve compiled a list to help you best prepare for your surgery at Dr. Daraei’s practice.
Reasons to Travel for Facial Plastic Surgery
Choosing to travel for surgery allows patients to select from more experienced surgeons, ensuring alignment with their aesthetic goals. Additionally, recovering in a new environment can provide a peaceful retreat, free from the usual demands and distractions of daily life. Dr. Daraei’s team is dedicated to facilitating every aspect of your journey, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
After Your Surgery
We recommend that you remain in the Atlanta area for seven to ten days post-surgery, depending on your specific procedure. This duration allows Dr. Daraei to monitor your recovery closely and ensure optimal healing. Our team can assist in arranging accommodations and provide information on local services to enhance your comfort during this period. Once you receive approval from Dr. Daraei, you may return home, with the option for virtual follow-up consultations to monitor your ongoing recovery.
Nurse Concierge
To support your immediate post-operative needs, we offer the option of a registered nurse concierge for the first evening after surgery. This service provides assistance with incision care, medication management, and answers to any questions you may have. Having access to a medical professional experienced in post-surgical care can offer additional help during the initial recovery phase. This service is available upon request and can be extended for additional evenings if desired for an additional fee. If you have friends or family accompanying you, this service may not be necessary but remains available as an optional benefit.
Post-Surgery Nutrition
Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in the healing process. Dr. Daraei emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in protein while minimizing salt and sugar intake to promote your recovery and reduce swelling. It is recommended that you eat a healthy diet throughout your entire recovery.

Preparing for Surgery
Complimentary Photo Screening:
Before scheduling a consultation, please send us a few clear photos of your face from various angles. Dr. Daraei will review your images to determine if you are a candidate for facial plastic surgery.
Scheduling a Virtual Consultation:
We are typically booked out about four weeks for the soonest available consultation date. A consultation fee is required to reserve your appointment, and we will work with your schedule to find a convenient time.
Pre-Consultation Check-In:
Approximately two weeks before your scheduled consultation, our Patient Care Coordinator will reach out to introduce themselves, walk you through what to expect, and answer any preliminary questions.
Virtual Consultation:
Your Zoom consultation will be approximately one hour. You will begin by meeting with one of our nurses to review your medical history. Then, you will have an in-depth conversation with Dr. Daraei to discuss your concerns, explore potential procedures, and ask any questions you may have. Afterward, our Patient Care Coordinator will provide a personalized quote via email and guide you through next steps.
Booking Surgery:
Once you have made your decision, we typically schedule surgeries six to eight weeks in advance. This allows you time to prepare and complete any necessary medical clearances.
One Month Before Your Surgery:
We recommend that you visit your primary care provider for standard pre-operative laboratory tests, an EKG, and medical clearance for IV sedation, if required. These results should be submitted to our office prior to your scheduled surgery date.
Two Weeks Before Your Surgery:
A virtual pre-op appointment will be scheduled with our team. During this visit, we will walk through all your medications, supplies, and post-op instructions, and answer any final questions to ensure you are fully prepared.
One Day Before Your Surgery:
You will meet Dr. Daraei in person for a final review of your surgical plan. You will also connect with our nursing staff to finalize your medication list, review your recovery expectations, and ensure you are feeling confident and ready.
