Wherever you live in the city, the steps are the same: read the guides, send one short request with your ZIP code or neighborhood, and an independent plastic surgery office replies. Tell the office where you are and how far you are happy to travel for the consultation, the operation and the follow-up visits.

Planning around surgery in the city
- Cleveland Clinic says someone should drive you home after breast augmentation and ideally stay with you the first night, so plan that before you book.
- Ask where the follow-up visits take place and how many there are.
- Think about stairs, a long commute and carrying bags in the first weeks; ASPS says most people return to desk work about a week after surgery.
Before choosing, read the cost guide, and if a lift or a reduction may be part of your plan, the breast lift and breast reduction guides.
Wherever you are in the five boroughs, send one short request to an independent plastic surgery office.
