WELCOME TO PEAK PLASTIC SURGERY IN DRAPER

Our Plastic Surgery Process: What to Expect

Choosing plastic surgery is a personal decision, and understanding the process can help you move forward with confidence. At Peak Plastic Surgery, we provide clear guidance, honest recommendations, and personalized care from your first consultation through your final follow-up visit.

A Personalized Approach to Plastic Surgery

No two patients have the same anatomy, concerns, or goals. That is why our process begins with listening.

Board-certified plastic surgeons Devan Griner and Gregg Guilfoyle take time to understand the changes you are considering and what you hope to achieve. We develop every treatment plan around your health, lifestyle, natural proportions, and desired outcome.

Patient safety guides every recommendation. If a procedure isn’t appropriate for you, or a different approach may produce a better result, we will explain that clearly.

Step 1: Request Your Free Consultation

Your journey begins by requesting a private consultation at our Draper office. Our team will help you schedule an appointment and provide any information you need before your visit.

You can contact us to discuss procedures for the face, breasts, or body, including:

We also provide specialized pediatric and craniofacial care.

Step 2: Meet With a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

During your consultation, you will meet privately with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. This conversation allows us to learn about your concerns, answer your questions, and understand what a successful result means to you.

Your surgeon will review important factors such as:

  • Your medical history

  • Current medications and supplements

  • Previous surgeries or treatments

  • Allergies and health conditions

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding plans

  • Lifestyle and tobacco use

  • Your desired changes

  • Your expectations for surgery and recovery

Please be open about your health and goals. Accurate information helps your surgeon determine whether surgery can be performed safely.

Step 3: Receive an Honest Evaluation

Your surgeon will examine the area you want to address and assess your anatomy, skin quality, tissue characteristics, proportions, and overall health.

You will receive straightforward feedback about:

  • Whether you are a suitable candidate

  • Which procedure may best address your concerns

  • What surgery can realistically achieve

  • Where incisions and scars may be located

  • Possible limitations or alternatives

  • Potential risks and complications

  • Expected recovery requirements

Our goal is to give you the information needed to make an informed decision without unnecessary pressure.

Step 4: Create Your Personalized Treatment Plan

If you are a suitable candidate, your surgeon will recommend a treatment plan designed specifically for you. This may involve one procedure or a carefully selected combination of procedures.

For example, a mommy makeover may include breast and abdominal surgery, while facial rejuvenation may combine a facelift with a neck lift or eyelid surgery. We combine procedures only when it’s safe and appropriate.

Your plan will explain:

  • The recommended procedure or procedures

  • The proposed surgical approach

  • Expected incision placement

  • The anticipated recovery process

  • Activity restrictions

  • Follow-up care

  • Personalized pricing

You can review your plan and ask additional questions before scheduling surgery.

Step 5: Review Pricing and Financing Options

Plastic surgery costs vary by procedure, surgical complexity, anesthesia, facility needs, implants (when applicable), and whether treatments are combined.

Once your treatment plan has been finalized, our team will provide detailed pricing. Peak Plastic Surgery offers financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi for qualified patients.

Our team can explain the available payment options, but the individual provider determines approval and financing terms.

Step 6: Prepare for Surgery

Before surgery, you will receive specific instructions to help support a safe procedure and recovery. Requirements vary, but preparation may include:

  • Completing requested medical evaluations or laboratory testing

  • Adjusting certain medications or supplements as directed

  • Avoiding nicotine and tobacco products

  • Arranging transportation

  • Preparing a comfortable recovery area

  • Organizing help with children, pets, meals, or household responsibilities

  • Following eating and drinking restrictions before surgery

  • Filling necessary prescriptions

Follow all instructions carefully. Contact our team if you become ill, experience a change in your health, or have questions before your procedure.

Step 7: Your Surgery Day

On the day of surgery, our team will review your procedure and help you prepare. Your surgeon may make surgical markings and answer any final questions before the operation begins.

Surgery length depends on the procedure and whether multiple treatments are performed. Our team remains focused on your safety, comfort, and surgical plan throughout the experience.

You will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you as instructed following outpatient surgery.

Step 8: Begin Your Recovery

Recovery looks different for every patient. Swelling, bruising, soreness, tightness, fatigue, and temporary changes in sensation can occur during early healing.

You will receive instructions regarding:

  • Incision and dressing care

  • Prescribed medications

  • Support garments

  • Sleeping and resting positions

  • Walking and circulation

  • Showering

  • Returning to work

  • Driving

  • Exercise and lifting restrictions

  • Warning signs that require medical attention

Do not compare your progress with another patient’s recovery. Healing timelines depend on the procedure, your health, and how your body responds to surgery.

Step 9: Attend Your Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-up care allows your surgeon to monitor healing, evaluate your progress, and answer questions as you return to normal activities.

Even if you feel well, attend all scheduled appointments. Your surgeon will let you know when it is safe to resume work, exercise, lifting, and other activities.

If you notice an unexpected change or have concerns between visits, contact Peak Plastic Surgery for guidance.

Step 10: Allow Your Results to Develop

Some improvements may be visible soon after surgery, but swelling and tissue settling can temporarily affect your appearance. Depending on the procedure, final results may take several weeks or months to develop.

Scars also change over time. Although surgical scars do not disappear completely, they typically soften and fade as healing progresses.

Maintaining a stable weight, protecting your skin from the sun, and following your surgeon’s recommendations can help support long-lasting results.
