I truly appreciate you taking the time to consider a surgical procedure at Allen Aesthetic Surgery. I understand how much time, thought, and planning you have likely invested in this process. I deeply regret to inform you that I will be relocating from North Carolina to Tennessee to be closer to family and will discontinue surgical procedures in September 2026. As a result, I will be unable to provide long-term follow-up care after that time. Virtual care may be an option in some circumstances; however, this is a decision you must feel comfortable with. Your safety and aesthetic goals remain very important to me, and I want to ensure you are supported as much as possible during this transition.

For larger procedures, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or similar surgery, it may be in your best interest to consult with another surgeon, as these cases generally require a longer recovery period. Smaller procedures, such as blepharoplasty or liposuction, may still be possible during August and September. Ultimately, however, the decision about how you wish to proceed is entirely yours as long as you understand that I will not be seeing patients beyond October 23, 2026.

I will not be performing any surgical procedures beyond mid-September. This decision is intended to protect your safety and ensure that no patient is left without appropriate follow-up care or support during the recovery process.
I am truly sorry that I cannot continue as your physician, and I extend my warmest wishes for your future health, confidence, and happiness.

You are not too old and it's never too late.....
