For Traveling Patients

For Traveling Patients: Patients travel from West Texas, New Mexico, and all over the United States, Canada, Europe, and other parts of the world to benefit from the expertise of Dr. Boonipat.

Travel Information For many, traveling beyond their hometown, state, or even country is worthwhile to find the right surgeon who can deliver their desired results. We recognize that traveling for a procedure might seem daunting, but our team of experienced professionals will support you throughout the process to make your travel and surgical experience as smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible.

We work with numerous out-of-state patients to efficiently coordinate your arrival, initial consultation, pre-op appointment, and surgery within one convenient trip. To start, we invite you to contact our office so we can introduce you to our practice and discuss your surgical goals and medical history in detail.
We’ll ask you to submit high-resolution photographs of the areas you wish to address and fill out our consultation form online. We will then schedule an online consultation with Dr. Boonipat to discuss your goals, discuss logistics and costs, and make any arrangements as needed.

Upon arrival in Lubbock, TX, we look forward to welcoming you to our office for your in-person consultation with Dr. Boonipat, where we’ll review your surgical plan and address any last-minute questions. This appointment typically takes place 1-2 days before your surgery, followed by your pre-operative appointment.

Dr. Boonipat performs surgeries at a State-Certified Ambulatory Surgery Center connected to a hospital for your safety.

The post-operative experience for our out-of-town patients will vary depending on the surgery performed. We offer several options for concierge nurse staffing to assist with at-home care during your stay. In general, we recommend patients remain in town until all sutures are removed, usually 5-10 days post-surgery. In some cases, dissolvable sutures may be used. Depending on the surgery, you might only need to stay for 1-3 days before returning home. Once you return home, we will continue to monitor your recovery and healing process via televisits.

If we can further assist in arranging your cosmetic surgery trip to Lubbock, TX, please feel free to contact our office. Our staff is happy to help coordinate dining, daytime activities, and shopping plans to ensure you return from your journey feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
