Patient Resources

Dr. Mahony recognizes that new patients have special needs and many would like a little extra help getting started with their cosmetic surgery experience. This is especially true for the women and men who travel to her practice from other states. Be sure to learn more about our Fly-In Program to see how easy it is to schedule a cosmetic surgery getaway at her Westport, Connecticut practice.

Destination: Rejuvenation

Take a rejuvenation-vacation in beautiful Westport, Connecticut. Dr. Ellen Mahony's clients walk from her offices into this charming New England community nestled between the Long Island Sound and the Saugatuck River. Just 47 miles from Manhattan with easy access to Westchester and LaGuardia Airports and major expressways, Westport is a bustling, eclectic community. The one-time historic farming village is now a compact and picturesque modern town, offering visitors an abundance of stimulating cultural and recreational activities, as well as sophisticated shopping along its quaint Main Street, and your choice of Zagat-rated restaurants.

You can plan your stay at the historic Inn at National Hall located in the National Hall Historic District along the west bank of the Saugatuck River. The Inn, a stately red brick Italianate landmark building, was built in 1873 and meticulously restored as a boutique Inn fashioned after Europe's elite manor houses. Each of the 16 individually decorated and designed guestrooms and suites will treat you to unparalleled luxury. Across the street from the Inn you can dine on the Saugatuck River at Napoli sul Fiume, featuring fine Northern Italian cuisine in a romantic, cozy setting. Or if you prefer fully organic but chef-designed American fare (with an astonishing wine list), try Paul Newman's The Dressing Room.

After dinner, stroll through town over the flag-festooned bridge and catch the evening breeze. On the water below, egrets, swans, and other waterfowl dine at sunset, and you may see Westport's nationally ranked rowing crews cut the still water. Then browse the varied and fashionable shops on Main Street, stopping for an ice cream or a cappuccino.

Continue along to The Westport Country Playhouse completing your evening with an award-winning play such as Our Town that starred Paul Newman, or possibly a concert or even a silent film with full orchestra. With Joanne Woodward at the helm, The Westport Country Playhouse, in its newly renovated red barn, is not only a Connecticut cultural landmark, but is taking its place as one of America's finest professional theatres.

With a reputation as a Mecca for "creatives" in the world of theatre and the arts, familiar residents have included Robert Redford, Bette Davis, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward. Martha Stewart got her start in Westport, and filmed her TV show, Martha Stewart Living from Westport studios.

Add to this mix 5.5 miles of beach along scenic Long Island Sound and it is easy to understand why Westport is called the Gold Coast of Connecticut. During the summer, you have easy access to the sand and surf of Westport's clean beautiful beaches at the Compo Beach-Longshore Complex; "the gem of Westport" offering calm waters, picnic areas, barbeque facilities and snack bar. The Longshore Complex also includes one of America's best kept (and sometimes challenging!) public golf courses, along with tennis, sailing, kayaking, swimming pools, and a bathing pavilion.

Night life can begin at the beach with a drink overlooking the sunset on Long Island Sound at Splash, an Asian-Fusion restaurant with live music on the patio Saturdays and Sundays. In the winter the patio overlooks the ice skating rink - join in the fun. Or, have a drink or dine in center of Main Street at the cozy Tavern on Main, a historic tavern with exposed beams and an original fireplace. In the summer do some people watching as you relax on its breezy stone patio.

There is much more! You can't leave without shopping. Main Street is known as the Rodeo Drive of Connecticut. You can shop for art and antiques at its many galleries and for the latest fashions in clothing, shoes and accessories and even jewels at Tiffany's famous blue building. In the summer, the town opens its streets to an Arts Festival, and the open-air Levitt Pavilion offers an eclectic range of music and movies. Adjoining the Pavilion is our state-of-the-art Westport Public Library, one of the nation's finest public libraries, perfect for quiet browsing, reflection, writing, or viewing the rotating art exhibition.
