“Dr. Daines is by far the most talented plastic surgeon I’ve ever known! I flew from Colorado to see him and he never disappoints. He’s extremely knowledgeable and helps you understand what he’s doing no matter the procedure. If I could give him 10/10 stars I’d give him 11!” 

—Kimmey H.

Convenient Consultations 

To help you plan your journey, we offer virtual consultations so you can meet with Dr. Daines before booking your surgery. This convenient option allows you to discuss your goals, learn about your options, and receive a personalized plan without traveling until it’s time for your procedure. 

Recovery Resources

For facelift patients and others undergoing more advanced procedures, Dr. Daines recommends staying at least one night at a specialized recovery center. These facilities provide professional nursing care and attentive support to make your first night after surgery as safe and comfortable as possible. If you prefer, we can also arrange for a caretaker to assist you in the comfort of your hotel or chosen accommodation. 

At Daines Plastic Surgery, your journey is our priority. From your first consultation to your safe return home, our team is dedicated to making every step seamless.
