Introduction
Nestled in the vibrant city of Athens, Georgia, Lugo Plastic Surgery combines cutting-edge surgical techniques with a commitment to personalized care. Under the guidance of Dr. Lugo, a board-certified plastic surgeon known for her artistry and precision, patients can expect exceptional results and a compassionate, tailored approach.
Whether you’re seeking facial rejuvenation, body contouring, or advanced surgical procedures, Lugo Plastic Surgery offers an experience that reflects Athens’ balance of tradition, educational excellence (go dawgs!), and innovation.
The city is served by Athens-Ben Epps Airport (AHN), which is just a short 15-minute drive from the practice. For those arriving from outside the area, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is about 1.5 hours away, offering a wide range of domestic and international flights.
Athens offers a variety of luxurious accommodations that are perfect for out-of-town patients seeking comfort and convenience. These hotels offer a range of experiences, from elegant to contemporary, ensuring that our patients enjoy a restful environment during their stay.
Athens’ food scene is a mix of Southern classics and innovative culinary experiences, all with a buzzing vibe. Here are some standout dining destinations that will elevate your experience when you are looking for a place to relax and dine when in town:
Schedule your consultation by filling out the requested form by clicking here. You can also call our office at (706) 707-5854, Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm, and Friday, 8:30 am – 12:00 pm.
Our patient care coordinator will set up a time for a phone or video consultation with Dr. Lugo to discuss the specific procedures you are interested in. Dr. Lugo will explain to you what the surgery entails and also answer all your questions. Our consultation fee is $100 payable by credit card prior to consultation. If you schedule a procedure, the $100 will be applied to your procedure.
Once you have completed your consultation, our patient care coordinator will give you a quote for your procedure and help you schedule a date for your surgery. A deposit of $1,000 (one thousand) is required to book your surgery date.
Surgical scheduling requires careful planning and coordination between the hospital, anesthesia provider and our staff. In addition, Dr. Lugo’s surgical schedule is planned months in advance in order for her to be able to provide exceptional medical care. For all of these reasons, the following cancelation & rescheduling policy is strictly enforced:
After you have scheduled your surgery, we will send you a packet containing pre- and post-operative instructions, as well as consent forms for your procedure. PLEASE read all the documents carefully, initial each page, and sign them. If you have any questions, please email or call us. We will review the consents as well as the instructions with you prior to surgery.
You will need a medical clearance from your doctor and routine blood tests prior to surgery. We recommend you schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as you schedule your surgery so you have sufficient time to be seen. The tests must be done no later than 30 days before the day of your surgery so that there is sufficient time to obtain and review the results. The exact tests that must be ordered will be determined by your age, general health and planned procedures. If you are considering breast surgery and need to have a mammogram, it must be arranged in advance. If you have had a mammogram, it must have been done within the previous 12 months to be valid. You will need to send us the report.
You will need prescription medications after your surgery. These medications should be filled out at least one day before surgery. You can choose to obtain them in Georgia after your arrival.
When making your travel plans, you will need to arrive at least one full day prior to your procedure and see Dr. Lugo for your final pre-operative visit. We will email you consent forms and instructions prior to surgery which we will review with you at your pre-operative appointment. The pre-operative appointment is scheduled approximately 2 weeks prior to surgery and can be conducted by phone or via video conferencing.
You will need to stay at least a week in Georgia before you can return home. The exact amount of time depends on your procedure and how far you are traveling. You will need to have an adult with you throughout your stay. If you do not have someone that could accompany you, we can help you arrange for a caretaker to take care of you after your surgery. On average patients stay for a week after surgery and up to 2 weeks for more extensive procedures.
We partner with several hotels as well as private nurses to help our patients have the best possible experience. Dr. Lugo’s patients receive discounted rates and our patient care coordinator will provide you with all the necessary information on how to reserve.
At Lugo Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to providing you with exceptional surgical results and a seamless experience. From your first consultation to your post-operative care, we ensure that every aspect of your visit is handled with precision and care. Whether you’re here for a procedure or simply enjoying Athens during your consultation, we are committed to making your journey as comfortable and rewarding as possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to Athens, where tradition, innovation, and the Southern hospitality of Georgia come together for an unforgettable experience!
