Breast reconstruction surgery in Mexico: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Mexico
  • You should arrive at the airport with all necessary documents, including your passport and any medical records required by the clinic.
  • Arrange transportation to your pre-booked accommodation. You need to rest and acclimate to the local time zone.
  • Keep the clinic's contact information handy in case you need assistance or clarifications.
Day 2: Pre-Operative Consultation
  • You need to attend a pre-operative consultation with your surgeon. Discuss the specifics of your breast reconstruction surgery, including the type of reconstruction technique, such as implant-based or autologous tissue reconstruction.
  • Undergo any necessary pre-operative tests, like blood tests or imaging, to ensure you are fit for surgery.
  • Discuss any additional procedures you might be considering, like liposuction 360 or rhinoplasty, and how they will be coordinated with your breast reconstruction.
  • Review post-operative care instructions and ask any questions about the recovery process.
Day 3: Surgery Day
  • You should arrive at the clinic or hospital at the scheduled time. Ensure you have fasted as instructed, typically 8-12 hours before surgery.
  • Meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss anesthesia options and any allergies you might have.
  • Undergo the breast reconstruction surgery, which may involve tissue expanders or direct-to-implant techniques, depending on your case.
  • Spend the night in the hospital for monitoring and initial recovery, as most clinics include a 1-night hospital stay in their package.
Day 4: Post-Operative Care
  • Receive post-operative care instructions from the medical team. This may include how to care for drains, if used, and signs of complications to watch for.
  • Arrange for transportation back to your accommodation, as you will not be able to drive post-surgery.
  • Rest and follow all post-operative instructions carefully. Take prescribed medications to manage pain and prevent infection.
  • Contact the clinic if you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns about your recovery.
Day 5-7: Early Recovery Phase

  • Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process. This may include checking the surgical site and removing any drains if applicable.
  • Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support your recovery.
  • Wear any recommended compression garments or bras to help reduce swelling and support the reconstructed breast.
Day 8-14: Continued Recovery and Preparation for Departure
  • Gradually increase your activity level as advised by your surgeon, but still avoid heavy lifting or vigorous exercise.
  • Attend any additional follow-up appointments. Your surgeon will assess your healing and provide further guidance on returning to normal activities.
  • Ensure you have all necessary documentation and post-operative care instructions for your return home.
  • Arrange transportation to the airport for your departure.
Day 15: Return Home

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
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.

Dr. Marraquin was amazing. He spent over an hour with me on my consultation before my surgery. Let me know absolutely everything that was going to happen. His years of training is quite obvious to anybody who is requesting his services. He answered every question I could possibly think of. Additionally, he was available through text messaging 24 hours a day. He’s response time was impressive. I was very pleased with the outcome of my facelift. I would refer him to any buddy I know.
