Out of Town
Patients from across the country travel to Dr. Mark Plastic Surgery for trusted expertise and natural results. Our team makes planning your procedure simple and seamless, from virtual consultations to personalized travel guidance and recovery support in Scottsdale.
Planning Your Consultation
For patients outside Scottsdale and the Phoenix metro area, we offer two consultation options. Our patient care coordinator team will guide you through the process, review fees, and help you plan the most convenient timeline.
Virtual Consultation
Connect with Dr. Mark online through a virtual consultation to review your goals and medical history. This convenient option is ideal if you’d like to plan your procedure and secure a date before traveling to Scottsdale.
In-Person Consult
Some patients prefer to meet Dr. Mark in person before scheduling surgery. In these cases, you would plan one trip for an in-person consultation, then return for your procedure at a later date.
Combo Approach
If you would like a balance of convenience and personal interaction, a combination approach may work best. Some patients begin with a virtual consultation to review options and then visit in person before their procedure for a full evaluation and final planning.
Traveling to Scottsdale
Scottsdale is both easy to reach and a beautiful place to recover.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is located only 20 minutes from our office, while Scottsdale Airport (SDL) is available for private flights.
Once you arrive, transportation is simple with ride-share services, taxis, and rental cars. Our team can also recommend trusted private car services if you prefer added comfort.

Scheduling and Recovery Timeline
Traveling for surgery requires a clear plan. Below is a general timeline to help you prepare for your visit:
1–2 Days Before Surgery
Arrive in Scottsdale for your pre-operative exam, final review with Dr. Mark, and preparation for your procedure.
Day of Surgery
Your procedure is performed in an accredited facility with your safety and comfort as the top priority.
1–3 Days After Surgery
Rest and focus on initial recovery. You will have your first follow-up visit during this time.
4–7 Days After Surgery
Continue healing under our guidance. Most patients have sutures removed or bandages changed during this period.
7–10 Days After Surgery
Depending on the procedure and overall healing progress, patients are often cleared to fly home. Longer stays may be advised for more extensive surgeries.
Your exact timeline will be customized to your procedure and health, but most out-of-town patients should plan to stay in Scottsdale for at least one week.
Restaurants
Scottsdale has a vibrant dining scene with options ranging from casual to fine dining. Some of our team’s favorites include:
We can provide personalized recommendations based on your preferences and dietary needs.
Things To Do Before Surgery
If you arrive early, Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area offer a variety of activities that can make your stay enjoyable before your procedure. Here are a few local highlights:
Old Town Scottsdale
Explore the galleries, shops, and restaurants that make Old Town a charming cultural hub. With a mix of Southwestern character and modern attractions, it’s a favorite spot for visitors arriving early.
Desert Botanical Garden
This nationally recognized garden highlights the unique beauty of desert plants. Walking through the trails offers a calm, scenic experience that connects you with Arizona’s natural landscape.
Camelback Mountain
One of the most famous hikes in Arizona, Camelback offers panoramic views of the valley. It’s best enjoyed before surgery, as it requires a moderate to challenging climb.
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Located downtown, this museum provides an intimate collection of modern art, design, and architecture. It’s a relaxing way to spend an afternoon without overexertion.
Gentle Activities for Recovery
After surgery, rest will be your top priority. Once cleared for light movement, Scottsdale offers low-key activities that allow you to enjoy your surroundings without strain:
Poolside Relaxation
Scottsdale’s warm climate makes poolside recovery especially enjoyable. Many resorts provide shaded seating areas and peaceful environments perfect for rest.
Scottsdale Fashion Square
This indoor mall features luxury brands, casual shopping, and plenty of places to stroll. It’s an easy way to spend time in a climate-controlled environment once you feel ready.
Spa Settings
While you’ll need to avoid treatments until cleared by Dr. Mark, many resorts offer tranquil spa environments. These settings can provide peace and relaxation during your early recovery.
Evening Art Walks
Old Town Scottsdale hosts art walks featuring local and international artists. Once you’re comfortable moving around, these low-key events provide a relaxed outing.
