No matter if you decide to schedule an in-person consultation or chat via the web, Dr. Cozart will assess if you are a good candidate for the procedure you desire. After your personal consultation you will be contacted by our Patient Coordinator and advised of the assessment and, when applicable, all fees for surgery and related expenses. We will also suggest hotel and/or post-operative care accommodations, as well as discuss your proposed length of stay in Charlotte.

SCHEDULING
Once you have determined that you wish to proceed with the proposed procedure, the scheduling process begins. Our Patient Coordinator will offer available dates for your procedure. A deposit (payable by credit card or Care Credit) will be required to secure dates, and final payments will be collected at the pre-operative visit. For your convenience we accept all major credit cards. If you wish, our patient coordinator can assist you in establishing an account with Care Credit, the most trusted name in patient financing for cosmetic procedures. Our patient coordinator will also assist you in making arrangements for your lodging and transportation from the airport.

TRAVELING
Typically fly-in patients should plan on staying in Charlotte for approximately 5-7 days. The Refine Institute is located just 15 minutes from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Direct flights are available from most major cities and Charlotte is an international airline hub. Our car service will pick you up from the airport and the first day will be spent in our office covering physical examination, pre- and post-operative instruction, and the review and signing of all consents. (You will be able to download these consent forms from our website in advance, so that you may review these prior to your visit and thus be fully prepared). We allow two hours for this visit so that all your questions can be answered.

RECOVERY
Depending on the procedure performed, this length of stay may be adjusted; however, it is important to allow for the appropriate time to ensure a healthy and safe recovery. We want your trip home to be a pleasant one, and that means following all of our guidelines. Your post-op visits will be concentrated into the required length-of-stay. In the event that you may feel a need for medical assistance after returning home, we are available to refer you to a local physician for check-ups. Your health and well being are always our first priority.
