Surgical Instructions

We strive to make sure every patient is as informed as possible about any procedure they undergo with Alford Facial Plastic Surgery. Please take a look below for more information on some of our procedures. If you have any questions or do not see your procedure listed here, please don't hesitate to contact our office. 

Our staff looks forward to meeting you and discussing your plastic surgery goals. We strive to keep our appointments on time, as scheduled. Prior to your appointment, we encourage you to fill out the patient forms that are located on this website so that you can accelerate your check-in process. Please download, print and complete the forms and bring them with you to your appointment. If you are unable to download our patient forms, then it is recommended that you arrive to your appointment between 15-30 minutes early so that you can have ample time to fill out the appropriate forms.

For your safety and convenience, you will be evaluated by the Houston Methodist Hospital Anesthesia Preoperative Evaluation Clinic (APEC) before your surgery.

For your convenience, younger, healthier patients with few existing medical conditions may be able to be registered and screened over the phone. Patients with more serious existing medical conditions must be seen in APEC in advance. These patients may be asked to provide a letter of consultation from their internal medicine physician/cardiologist; this report can be faxed to APEC. For patients with cardiac stents or implanted defibrillators, an evaluation by the patient's cardiologist is typically required before surgery can proceed.

To determine which level of surgical clearance you will need please complete the online Anesthesia Pre-Op Evaluation questionnaire at least 7 days prior to your surgery date which can be found here 

Once you have completed the questionnaire please call the clinic at 713-441-5035 to inquire if you will require further testing. The Anesthesia Preoperative Evaluation Clinic is located on the 22nd floor of the Houston Methodist Outpatient Center. For more information or questions call us 713-441-5035 Or visit http://houstonmethodist.org/apec.
