Cosmetic Surgery

Also referred to as plastic or aesthetic surgery, cosmetic surgery encompasses a long list of procedures or treatments that are performed to enhance a person’s appearance or, in some cases, to reconstruct areas of the body that are deformed at birth or marred due to injury. Popular procedures include:

Cosmetic procedures can last anywhere from 30 minutes to four hours and, in many cases, may be treated as outpatient procedures.

If you are coming to Miami for cosmetic surgery, you will likely need to spend between seven and fourteen days in the area. Details of your itinerary will depend on your hospital’s particular protocols, but in general you will begin your preoperative exams on the day after your arrival, have surgery on the following day, then get discharged from the facility a few hours later. Depending on your procedure, you may also spend a night or two in the hospital or clinic. You will then require several days to recuperate in your hotel before traveling home.

If you are having a non-surgical procedure, your time spent in-hospital will be minimal. In most instances you should be able to travel home 24-48 hours after your treatment.

Miami boasts some of the country’s top cosmetic surgeons and superb specialty clinics designed with safety and comfort in mind. For specific treatment information, please contact one of the cosmetic surgery specialists in this guide.
