Coming to Dr. Lebowitz From Out of Town?
Patients travel to Dr. Jonathan Lebowitz from across the United States and internationally for gynecomastia surgery, male chest contouring, VASER 4D Hi-Def body sculpting and more comprehensive transformations.
Traveling for surgery adds another layer of planning, so Dr. Lebowitz starts the process before you ever arrive in New York. Your initial consultation can be completed virtually, allowing him to learn what concerns you, review your goals and discuss what treatment may be appropriate.
If you decide to move forward, the procedure, travel schedule, local stay, postoperative follow-up and recovery considerations can then be planned together.
Start With Dr. Lebowitz — Then Plan the Trip
There is no reason to guess how long you should stay, what day you should arrive or when you should fly home. Those decisions should follow the procedure rather than come before it.
Virtual Consultation
Meet with Dr. Lebowitz remotely to discuss the areas that concern you, your goals, relevant medical history and the type of treatment he may recommend.
Build Your Surgical Plan
If you are a candidate, Dr. Lebowitz can explain the procedure or combination of procedures and what that means for your visit to New York.
Plan Your Travel
Once the surgical plan is established, you can arrange flights, accommodations and transportation around the timing Dr. Lebowitz recommends.
Surgery & Recovery
Your postoperative care, local follow-up and any Lebo Recovery services are coordinated according to the procedure you actually had.
Return Home
Do not assume a specific return date before surgery. Dr. Lebowitz will tell you when he is comfortable with you traveling based on your procedure and progress.
You Aren’t Traveling to a Surgery Center. You’re Traveling to Dr. Lebowitz.
Dr. Lebowitz is directly involved from your initial consultation through your procedure and postoperative follow-up.
That continuity is especially important when you are traveling. He knows what was planned, what he performed, which areas were treated and how he expects your recovery to progress.
If your treatment involves multiple areas, gynecomastia surgery, VASER 4D Hi-Def, Renuvion, fat grafting or a more comprehensive Neck to Nuts transformation, he can also account for those details when discussing how long you should remain nearby.
Airports for Out-of-Town Patients
Huntington is located on Long Island and can be reached through several New York-area airports. The best choice depends on where you are flying from, flight availability and your transportation plans after arrival.
Long Island MacArthur Airport
Ronkonkoma, New York
When flight options work for your trip, MacArthur can be a convenient choice because you arrive directly on Long Island and avoid crossing New York City from one of the larger airports.
John F. Kennedy International Airport
Queens, New York
JFK offers extensive domestic and international service and may provide more flight options for patients traveling longer distances.
LaGuardia Airport
Queens, New York
LaGuardia is another option for domestic travel to the New York area. Ground travel time to Huntington can vary substantially with traffic.
Ground Transportation
Once you arrive in the New York area, you will still need transportation to Huntington and between your hotel, Dr. Lebowitz’s office and any postoperative appointments.
Private Car or Rideshare
For many patients, direct car transportation is the simplest option when arriving with luggage or traveling shortly before or after a procedure.
Long Island Rail Road
Huntington is served by the Long Island Rail Road, which can be useful for patients coming from New York City before surgery. Postoperative transportation should follow Dr. Lebowitz’s instructions.
Your Surgery-Day Ride
Do not assume you will be able to drive yourself after your procedure. Dr. Lebowitz will explain the transportation and responsible-adult arrangements required for your particular surgery.

Plan the Details Before You Arrive
Once your procedure is scheduled, make sure the travel portion of the experience supports the surgical plan rather than complicating it.
Your Local Stay Is Part of the Recovery Plan
For an out-of-town patient, recovery does not simply begin once you get home. The first phase may take place while you are still in Huntington.
Dr. Lebowitz can determine when he wants to see you after surgery and whether your postoperative plan should include additional services through Lebo Recovery.
Depending on the individual, those services may include lymphatic massage, red light therapy or hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions.
Your Return Trip Should Follow Your Recovery — Not an Arbitrary Checkout Date.
How long you should remain near Huntington depends on the procedure you had and how you are doing afterward. Dr. Lebowitz will discuss the timing he considers appropriate for you. When possible, choose travel arrangements that give you flexibility rather than forcing your recovery around a rigid itinerary.
Your First Visit Can Be Virtual
You do not need to fly to New York just to find out whether Dr. Lebowitz may be able to help you.
A virtual consultation allows you to begin the conversation from home. You can explain what bothers you, discuss your goals and learn more about the approach Dr. Lebowitz would consider before making travel arrangements.
If treatment is appropriate and you decide to proceed, the next step is planning the New York visit around your individualized procedure.
