The Care New England Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery works collaboratively with all medical teams and specialized units throughout Care New England for seamless and exceptional care for patients as they are referred to needed services offered locally. Some services may include:
With the advanced virtual imaging software of the Vectra XT 3D Imaging System, patients can see post-operative results before surgery. Patients can see themselves and peer into the future to see how the face, breasts, and body will look after surgery. The floor-mounted device works to assess, educate, and simulate possible outcomes. This comprehensive imaging capability allows an individual to see a simulation of what they will look like the following surgery.
The image shows each person’s body as it actually looks and can be viewed from any angle. The virtual image can be adjusted into the exact shape someone wishes to achieve. Someone will stand in front of the imager and pictures will then be taken by the machine. The software will then be utilized to make visual presentations.

As part of your pre-operative preparation, you’ll complete an assessment at Kent Hospital’s Ambulatory Surgery Center. During this appointment, you’ll have labs drawn and an EKG test, as well as a chest X-ray, if necessary. You’ll also meet with an anesthesiologist and review your current medications.
You will be notified about required appointments, because you may not need all of them. All tests can be performed on the Kent Hospital campus.
You will be contacted by our office only if we find issues with your results. Otherwise, your results will go directly to the surgical team. If you want copies of your results, we can provide them at the time of your post-operative appointment or are accessible through MyChart.
Prior to your procedure, you will have a preoperative visit in which your plastics team will discuss the specifics of your surgical procedure and take the time to go over any preoperative workup you may need. They will also ensure you have all the proper instructions and paperwork at this time and answer any questions you may have. These visits are typically done at the Providence office but can be arranged in East Greenwich as well.
Prior to your surgery, you may be asked to:
Preoperatively, the plastics team will discuss with you:
Do not eat or drink (including water) from midnight the night immediately before surgery, unless otherwise instructed. Do not wear makeup, jewelry, contact lenses, or body piercing items. Be sure your responsible adult companion accompanies you to the surgery location.
