Preoperative Visit with Seattle Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder
The preoperative visit is scheduled about 2 weeks prior to your date of surgery. During this visit, I will do a physical exam and review the surgical plan with you. We will also complete the required paper work including your informed consent forms. Please review these prior to your preoperative visit and make a note of any questions or concerns so we can discuss them.

I will review with you what you can expect your day of surgery and I will make suggestions to help your recovery be as rapid and comfortable as possible. If you have any specific concerns, please let me know.

The nurse will review your pre and postoperative instructions and will provide information on ordering postoperative surgical garments if indicated. He/she will review your prescriptions with you. We recommend you fill your prescriptions prior to your day of surgery.

The patient care coordinator will collect payment for my surgical fees.

Total time for the preoperative visit is about 45 minutes.
