The hospital advertised was not the one I went to. The operating room was thrown together i my opinion. Hardly anyone spoke English so I had a difficult time with the forms. I didn't even get a copy. After the surgery I was left on my back overnight night and was told I'll be ok. Once finally discharged the next morning, I only received antibiotics and ibuprofen. No instructions on how and what to do afterwards. I felt like they did what they was supposed to and dropped me off in the streets to fend for myself

The surgeon was good but the coordinator Carlo made too many mistakes. 1. Didn’t book continuous days at hotel. 2. As a result, I was kicked out of room the day I was in surgery. . 2. Need more after care days to remove drainage. I was abruptly kicked out of TJ while I was still feeling weak. Needed more days in Tijuana. At least 2 more. Return to America and no one wanted to remove drainage tubes. 3. The day nurse talked bad about me to everyone. The night nurse , Paulina was perfect. I would never recommend surgery in Mexico. No need to go viral with this because all of USA know this. Mexican are much better at picking fruits!

Their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria
First off, I used Aura Wellness Center, instead of Alice Beauty Clinic. And, their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria. Sara was the best English speaker there and helped me with everything. Maria was kind, warm, and also a great English speaker. They made it less lonely since I had this journey alone. Through Bookimed, I was assisted by Confidence, she was super thoughtful and checked up on me. She made sure I had connections with my medical coordinator and doctor. My coordinator was named Carlos. He was kind, answering all my questions and even texted me after my surgery numerous time to ensure I was recovering and satisfied with my results. My doctor was Dr. Ayala. I can't say much about him since he was in and out of the surgery room. I met him briefly. And, I'm unsure of my results as I am only one month post-op.
The staff at the clinic was accommodating. The coordinator from Bookimed and from the doctor ensured my questions were answered.
Dr. Ayala's brevity and lack of check up after the surgery. I didn't meet him more than 15 (when I was conscious since I was under anesthesia when he operated on me).

My experience has been very bad with Dr. Ayala… He only spoke with me for about 10 minutes before my surgery and afterwards was very reluctant to answer any questions when I said I was not happy with the outcome of my neck and ears. He said I could come back in a couple of months to have it fixed. When I came back. I decided to do liposuction on my abdominal area at the same time again the same thing no follow up as far as what I should be doing or wearing or anything… Again, one of my ears was not corrected and looked actually worse than before. When I came back to get my stitches out I pointed that out and he said that was normal and I argued saying that my other ear came out fine and this year looked bad. He said he couldn’t do anything else except wait for another couple of months and have me come back again. At this point, I showed him my liposuction, which looked bad as well with a lot of fibrosis happening… He gave no recommendation except to have ultrasound treatment done. I went online and discovered I should be wearing compression garments as well as getting massage for lymphatic fluid, which was building up. Once I went to the masseuse, she informed me of all the things I needed to be doing, but this is also cost me an extra thousand dollars. The whole experience was very disappointing and now I need to go to another surgeon to get one of my ears fixed hopefully for the last time But this all started Jan 3 and we are now into May and I’m still not out of the woods! I actually liked the personalities of everybody that I worked with, but I cannot in good conscience. Recommend them to anyone else because I know they will be very disappointed!

my doctor, Dr. M was amazing. He was available by text very experienced knowledgeable. I cannot comment on the outcome as of yet. I’m only 10 days out but definitely will be back to update my review so far he has a 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone thinking of Having surgery. I really cannot say enough about his professionalism
I liked how the doctor explained everything to me in details that I understood made sure I understood exactly what was happening as well as being realistic about how long it will take in the journey to get there. And just knowing that he and his staff were there for me at all times during my stay.
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I don’t think I have any one particular item that I did not like of course nobody likes having surgery done however they made it as comfortable as possible

I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue
I had a really great experience with my doctor and care here. I wanted a very natural looking nose, not to look "doll-like" or like I had a rhinoplasty. Same for lip filler. I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue. I believe it required different degrees of cutting for each nostril so I'm very impressed that the end result's symmetry appears less than 1mm different from one another, that's a huge improvement from before. The shape is really nice and I was impressed that after surgery the packing was done in such a way that I was able to breathe through my nose the whole time, even during my recovery.

All You Need to Know about Breast reduction in Mexico

Why do patients travel to Mexico to have a breast reduction?

According to ISAPS, Mexico is among the top 5 countries for plastic surgery in the world. Over 1,000,000 procedures are performed here annually. Breast reduction is one of the most popular procedures in Mexico. People visit this country to have a procedure due to:

  • Affordable prices. The cost of breast reduction surgery in Mexico is 2-3 times lower than in the USA or some European countries. For instance, an operation will cost you about $3,500 in Mexico, while in the USA — approx. $6,500.
  • Experienced doctors. Mexican doctors permanently improve their skills to perform plastic surgeries of any complexity at the highest level. Some specialists have at least 20 years of experience. However, before entrusting your health to a plastic surgeon, check out his/her CV and qualification.
  • Convenient location. Mexico borders with the USA, so it is quite easy for Americans to get here. The travel expenses also do not affect breast reduction cost too much.

How is breast reduction surgery performed in Mexico?

Breast reduction surgery is a removal of excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to make a new shape of the breasts and to replace a nipple together with the areola. As a result, a patient receives simultaneous breast reduction and lifting.

There are 2 main techniques to perform breast reduction in Mexico. Only a doctor can decide which option is the best according to the patient's needs.

  • Vertical or "lollipop" breast reduction. It is applied when the breasts are not large, and only small intervention is required. So, a doctor makes the first incision around the areola, and the second — vertically from the areola to the beneath of the breast. This incision has a lollipop shape.
  • "Anchor" breast reduction method. In case if it is necessary to reduce the breasts significantly, a specialist makes "anchor"-shaped incision — around the areola and vertically from the areola to beneath the breast and along its crease.

Depending on the breast reduction surgery type, the cost of the operation and recovery period vary.

How long does recovery take?

A breast reduction takes 1.5-4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. A patient can be discharged from the clinic the same day, or in 1-2 days depending on surgery complexity.

Just after a breast reduction, plastic surgery puts special garment or bandage.

A woman can return to work in 1 week after surgery in case it does not require physical activity. Any exercising and daily routines must be avoided for 3-4 weeks. The swelling and inflammation disappear in about 5-6 weeks.

Note, that hardly visible scars may remain after surgery. You can completely get rid of them in a year after special cosmetic procedures.

How long does a result last?

The result after breast reduction is permanent. However, be ready that the size and shape of your breasts will be changed over the life because of gravity, hormones, and aging.

So, to maintain the result of breast reduction in Mexico, you should lead a healthy lifestyle, keep a diet, and visit a doctor to control the state of your health. Also, it is recommended to lose weight before the surgery, not after. It is necessary to keep your weight stable after breast reduction.

How long should I stay in Mexico after breast reduction?

The length of stay in Mexico after breast reduction depends on its complexity. It may require about 3-6 days. During this term, a woman visits a plastic surgeon to control the recovery process.

What factors influence the breast reduction cost in Mexico?

The price of breast reduction in Mexico ranges depending on the following factors:

  • Clinic's reputation. Plastic surgery clinics that invest in their promotion and care about the reputation, may ask for a higher breast reduction cost.
  • Doctor's experience. Breast reduction specialists who have decades of practice, receive positive reviews and can demonstrate qualitative "before-after" photos of patients. Professional plastic surgeons invest money in their professional development and new techniques learning, so they often ask for a higher fee.
  • Surgery complexity. If the breasts are reduced not significantly, the price will be lower alike for patients who require extended breast reduction surgery in Mexico.

To get a personalized cost of breast reduction in Mexico, submit a request. This is free and non-binding.

How to arrange a trip to a Mexican clinic?

If you want to schedule a breast reduction in Mexico, follow these simple steps:

  1. Choose the most suitable clinic for breast reduction in Mexico.
  2. Submit a free and non-binding request.
  3. Bookimed medical doctor will contact you to answer all questions and reach the clinic to get a cost estimate.
