Our Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Dr Vlad Milovic, believes quality plastic surgery care involves attention at every phase of treatment. For this reason, he is committed to delivering attentive, personalised, comprehensive care before, during and after each procedure. While other pages of this website go into great detail about Dr Milovic’s approach to the consultation, treatment planning, and surgical specifics of each procedure, we want to focus now on the importance of our surgical aftercare program. Our surgical aftercare program is aimed at facilitating proper healing, enhancing patient comfort, minimising the potential for complications, and providing reassuring support. Continuity of care and ongoing patient support are priorities of our practice.
Why Is Aftercare Important?
The post-operative recovery phase can be challenging for many patients, and aftercare provided by Dr Milovic and his support team can help make this period go more smoothly. Following your plastic surgery procedure, the aftercare regimen you abide by at home, and the comprehensive post-operative services our practice provides are critical to supporting your healing journey.
What Does Dr Milovic’s Aftercare Program Entail?
Dr Milovic and our patient team want to see that your needs and concerns are taken care of at all stages of the surgical process, and this continues throughout the aftercare phase and beyond.
- Dr Milovic and our team are committed to providing attentive and personalised care throughout your surgical journey.
- Prior to undergoing surgery, you will receive a thorough, easy-to-understand education in the recovery process associated with the procedure(s) you are having. This can help prepare you for the post-operative healing process.
- You will be provided detailed post-operative instructions for at-home aftercare. You are encouraged to follow these instructions closely to potentially help enhance your comfort and aid in healing.
- You are encouraged to ask questions and share your concerns with Dr Milovic and our team at any time. Dr Milovic will provide you with his after-hours phone number, which you can use to contact him about urgent post-operative concerns, questions, or issues at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
- During your post-operative appointments you will always be seen by Dr Milovic, unless prior arrangements have been made. He follows each patient’s progress closely at every review appointment.
- If you have an urgent post-operative concern that requires medical evaluation and/or attention, our office team will schedule an emergency appointment for you with Dr Milovic right away.
- You will have the opportunity to join our private Facebook support group, which is moderated by our former patients. This group provides a community for our patients to rely on pre-surgery, during recovery and beyond. The group can be a great way to connect with patients who have already undergone surgery with the same surgeon.
How Does Aftercare Affect Pricing?
When considering plastic surgery, it is worth understanding what is included in a surgical fee. Comprehensive care — including pre-operative consultations, the procedure itself, and post-operative follow-up — involves significant time and resources, which are reflected in pricing. Surgery is a journey, and is not limited to just the surgery itself. You will be attending a number of appointments, and you need to feel comfortable with the surgeon and their staff both pre- and post-surgery. You will also need to rely on them for any questions or concerns that you have.
Dr Milovic is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon with AHPRA registration in plastic surgery, offering comprehensive care before, during, and after each procedure. When you receive an estimate for the procedure(s) you want, the cost for the comprehensive care you will receive before, during and after your surgery—not just the surgery itself—is conveniently incorporated into the overall price. If you require a longer operative time, request changes or need further procedures, additional costs may be added to the original price.
If you are considering plastic surgery and want to find out how much it would cost to have Dr Milovic perform your procedure(s), we encourage you to contact our practice to schedule a personal consultation. During this consultation you will have the opportunity to meet with Dr Milovic, explore your options, discuss pricing, and learn all about his patient-centered approach to plastic surgery.
