Dr. Rodgers will then view these and, with your goals in mind, provide a proper assessment, surgical plan, and quote.

Step 3

Arrival & In-Person Pre-Op Examination

When moving forward with surgery, you should plan to arrive in the Katy/Houston area at least one to two days prior to your surgery date. We will schedule an in-person appointment that will serve as your pre-operative exam and give you the opportunity to meet with Dr. Rodgers and discuss any last-minute concerns or questions. We will review pre-operative guidelines and provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions.

Your recovery period will depend on the type of procedure you have. Our care team will give you personalized guidelines and time estimates for recovery. You will remain in the local area for a specified period following surgery so Dr. Rodgers can evaluate your early progress, manage any surgical drains or dressings, and ensure it is safe for you to travel back home.

Traveling Patients Frequently Asked Questions

Your required stay depends on the complexity of your procedure. Minor non-surgical treatments or short outpatient surgeries may require only 2 to 4 days locally, while major surgical procedures (such as facelifts, explant surgery, or combined body contouring) typically require 7 to 10 days before Dr. Rodgers clears you for travel home.

Flying is generally safe once cleared by Dr. Rodgers. Short domestic flights may be permitted after 7 to 10 days, while long-haul or international flights may require 10 to 14 days to minimize risks such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or fluid retention.

After you return home, your recovery progress continues through scheduled phone calls, secure photo check-ins, and video follow-up appointments with our care team to ensure your healing remains on track.

"Best Decision Ever…”

Patient Testimonials

“Best decision ever to come to Dr. Rodgers at The Artisan Center!... I absolutely love my results—they exceeded my expectations! The entire experience was positive, and I truly appreciate the attention and care I received. I would highly recommend Dr. Rodgers to anyone considering breast implant removal.”

— Jennifer A., Katy, TX., satisfied implant removal patient.

“Dr. Rogers is absolutely amazing! He listened, asked questions & was very understanding at our first meeting. He came highly recommended by several people and was on the list of recommended doctors in the breast implant illness group I’m in. He did a wonderful job on my explant with total capsulectomy en bloc and partial lift. I am 3 weeks post op and pleased with the results so far. I highly recommend him for your surgical needs!”

— Amber P., Katy, TX., satisfied explant with total capsulectomy en bloc and partial lift patient.

“After living with breast implants for many years, I decided to undergo explant surgery, mastopexy (breast lift), with Dr. Bruce Rodgers. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful that I chose him as my surgeon… I am extremely happy with my results. My breasts look natural, lifted, and beautiful, and continue to improve as the swelling decreases… I highly recommend him to anyone considering explant surgery, breast lift surgery, or body contouring procedures. Choosing Dr. Rodgers was one of the best healthcare decisions I have ever made.”

— Rossi G., Katy, TX., satisfied explant surgery, mastopexy patient.

“As a first-time surgery patient, I was nervous, but Dr. Rodgers came highly recommended to me. He took the time to answer all of my questions pre/post surgery and made me feel completely at ease. I’m now 1 month post-op from a breast lift, and everything has been great! My recovery has been so smooth, and I’m already thrilled with my results. I couldn't recommend Dr. Rodgers and the Artisan Plastic Surgery team more!”

— Marki Z., Katy, TX, satisfied surgical patient.
