Why is Travel Always Worth It?
While travel isn’t a requirement to get matched to the right surgeon, expanding your search can open up even more ideal options. With board-certified surgeons nationwide, you get more choice and more confidence in your care.
Here’s why many Bliss clients like to go out of state for their procedure:
The best fit for your goals may not be in your backyard, so Bliss connects you with vetted surgeons who might be a flight or car ride away and focuses on your exact procedure or aesthetic style.
Simply put, expanding your search can open up better timelines and get you booked for your procedure much faster than you would have anticipated.
Surgeons in states like Florida operate with lower procedure costs for extremely high-quality care. Clients can typically save up to 40% by choosing procedure packages in different states, even after accounting for travel expenses.
Travel allows you to prioritize yourself, without distractions or local pressure. It’s the kind of self-care most don’t get to experience.
Healing away from home can offer more privacy and peace, or complete anonymity if you prefer.
How to Properly Travel For Your Procedure.
When you’re heading out for a procedure, it’s not just about the flight—it’s about protecting your body, your results, and your peace of mind. This checklist covers everything you need to know before and during your trip so you can focus on healing.
Before You Book Your Cosmetic Procedure.
- Meet your board-certified surgeon matched through Bliss.
- Confirm your consultation(s) before committing to a date.
- Understand your procedure thoroughly including prep, risks, downtime, and expected results.
- Discuss your health history and medical clearance needs with your Care Advisor and surgeon.
- Ask about anesthesia type, facility accreditation, and check with your surgeon’s practice about complication protocol.
- Get a quote breakdown and make sure it includes all fees: procedure, anesthesia, garments, and the facility.
When You Travel for Your Cosmetic Procedure.
- Choose your travel companion (if required); someone who can support you post-op.
- Book flights and lodging close to your surgical center (Bliss can help coordinate).
- Schedule pre-op appointments and bloodwork (if needed) in advance.
- Pack loose clothing, compression garments, medications, and hygiene essentials.
- Set up a recovery space at your Airbnb, hotel, or extended-stay suite.
- Prepare for downtime with entertainment, hydration, pillows, and post-op instructions printed or saved.
Arriving and After Your Cosmetic Procedure.
- Arrive early; at least 24 hours before your procedure to settle in.
- Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, and smoking in the days leading up to your procedure.
- Follow all pre-op instructions from your surgeon exactly.
- Keep emergency contacts and your Bliss Care Concierge info handy.
- Before heading home, attend all post-op checkups.
- Keep an eye out for any signs of infection or complications and follow recovery instructions.
Travel is an Investment in Yourself.
Travel expenses are absolutely something to consider when booking your trip. From airfare to aftercare, a smooth journey takes more than just a packed bag. It takes a plan. Your Care Advisor will help break down travel expenses, but here’s a quick look at what you might need to budget for on your own:
Your round-trip airfare, plus any added costs for flexible tickets or early boarding if needed for comfort.
Think airport transfers, Ubers, or a rental car, whatever gets you to and from your procedure safely.
Whether it’s a hotel, Airbnb, or a post-op recovery suite, comfort is crucial for both you and your companion.
If someone’s joining you, their travel, meals, and accommodation should be factored in too.
Wheelchair services, special seating, or mobility aids can make travel easier after surgery.
