Plan the sequence, not just the drive
Surgery from the Vail Valley involves a consultation, the procedure itself and follow-up visits, and each one is a trip east on I-70.
Because of that, the useful planning happens early. Bring every question to the first visit, and ask how the follow-up schedule is likely to fall so you can group travel where the schedule allows.
Build a weather buffer into every trip. Allow about 2 to 2.5 hours outside peak traffic in good conditions, and more when conditions are not good.

What Vail Valley patients can discuss
Breast volume and injectables
A consultation from the Vail Valley can cover breast augmentation, fat transfer to breasts and BOTOX®. The first two approach volume differently, and Dr. John Samas, MD, FACS will explain what each involves.
Plan the return trip with the same care as the drive down. You will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you as Dr. Samas instructs. Whether and when you can travel home after surgery is Dr. Samas's decision, based on your procedure and recovery. Winter conditions on I-70 can add hours or close the road, so leave extra time and call the office if travel stops being safe. Ask Dr. Samas whether returning to a higher elevation changes anything in your recovery plan. The out-of-town patients page covers how longer-distance visits are arranged.
Travel planning
Travel after surgery
Whether and when you can travel home after surgery is Dr. Samas's decision, based on your procedure and recovery.
- Long car rides after surgery can raise the risk of blood clots. Follow Dr. Samas's instructions about breaks and movement. If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or leg swelling or pain, call 911.
