Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery Named #1 Destination for Plastic Surgery Travel

    BEVERLY HILLS,CA, January 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, located on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, has become a magnet for people traveling for plastic surgery with its Rodeo Drive Transformation Vacation(TM). Recognizing its innovative programs and position as a leader in the area, the travel web site iExplore recently ranked the Center as the #1 destination for plastic surgery, both in North America and the world.

According to medical director Dr. Lloyd Krieger, roughly 25 percent of his patients drive or fly in from locales at least two hours away. Many come from Northern California cities, while others from such states as Alabama, Mississippi, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and abroad including the United Kingdom, Germany, New Zealand, Korea, Canada, Ivory Coast, and Saudi Arabia among many others. They are choosing to spend those first crucial days of recovery in a quiet hotel or other facility where they can get the care they need, but also take in what we have to offer here as a get-away city.

Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery includes concierge style services to help visiting patients coordinate hotel or facility accommodations, make reservations or book excursions and shopping trips. Krieger's practice also offers other services that connect patients with Rodeo Drive businesses, such beauty salons and fashion retailers, where they can get help starting new workout routines or re-vamping their wardrobes or skincare regimens. Those amenities make it possible to help turn what can be sometimes a tedious recovery process into a life-transforming adventure through cosmetic surgery travel.

The advantages of an out-of-town recovery presents an appealing option for some patients who may not have the luxury to create a quiet setting back home, due to children or other obligations. While away they have time to take in the immediate effects of their surgery and begin adjusting to physical changes before going home, both important facets of the healing process. Krieger stresses recovery from even the most minor procedures takes longer than just a week or two, and that additional recovery time is always involved once a patient gets back home. "I am a strong believer that if my patients have a positive recovery experience they will enjoy their final results more and they will heal faster from their procedures such as Beverly Hills breast augmentation," says Krieger.

About Dr. Krieger: Dr. Krieger is a cosmetic surgeon who was educated at Stanford University and the University of Chicago. He completed his residencies in general surgery and plastic surgery at UCLA Medical Center and maintains operating privileges at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He has established a unique professional network to offer his patients a lifestyle overhaul along with their surgery, which may include a new wardrobe at nearby Rodeo Drive shops, a new hairstyle, spa treatments or a new fitness regime.

About Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery: Nestled next to Chanel, Dior and Tiffany & Co., Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery is the only plastic surgery center on Rodeo Drive. The posh 5,000 square foot facility looks more like a boutique than a doctor's office. This center specializes in Los Angeles tummy tuck and all cosmetic surgery procedures.

Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery's on-site surgery center is accredited by AAAHC and Medicare and the full-sized operating rooms and recovery suites are equipped with the latest equipment and fully staffed at all times to provide the best patient care possible. "We designed our center to combine the convenience of storefront shopping with what I call the Four Seasons treatment," Dr. Krieger concludes. "Because cosmetic surgery is elective, people are looking for a first-class experience, and that's what we offer at our center." Beverly Hills plastic surgery is practiced in a cutting edge environment and the center seeks to define the best in service and latest techniques in plastic surgery.
