Breast augmentation, a widely sought-after cosmetic procedure worldwide, is also popular among patients traveling from abroad to Mexico. Whether you’re seeking to enhance your bust size or achieve a more balanced silhouette, pre- and post-operative care is essential for successful outcomes. Here are some general recommendations tailored for patients from other countries considering breast augmentation in Mexico:

Before Surgery:

• Clarify Your Concerns: Whether you’re meeting your surgeon in person or via video call, ensure to discuss your medical history and expectations thoroughly. This consultation phase is crucial for aligning goals and addressing any concerns you may have about the procedure.
• Implant Selection: Work closely with your surgeon to choose the right implants based on factors such as your body proportions, desired size, and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re physically present or consulting remotely, your surgeon will guide you through the selection process to ensure personalized results.
• Preoperative Screening: Depending on your age and medical history, your surgeon may recommend preoperative tests like mammograms to assess breast health before proceeding with surgery. These screenings are vital for detecting any underlying issues and ensuring your safety during the procedure.
• Health Precautions: It’s essential to follow preoperative instructions diligently. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption in the weeks leading up to surgery to minimize the risk of complications and promote optimal healing. Inform your surgeon about any medications you regularly take, and follow their guidance on which ones to discontinue prior to surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising.

How Are Costs Determined?

The costs of plastic surgery depend on various factors, such as the type of procedure requested, the surgeon’s location and clinic, and additional expenses like travel and accommodation. During the consultation, whether conducted in person or via video call, patients should discuss these costs with the surgeon to obtain a more accurate quote before making travel arrangements.

After Surgery:

• Wound Care: Keep the incision area clean, dry, and covered, following your surgeon’s instructions for showering and avoiding baths or jacuzzis. Your surgeon will advise on the timing for suture and drain removal.
• Post-Surgery Bra and Band: Wear the postoperative bra (and band if necessary) 24/7 for approximately four weeks to support healing and minimize movement.
• Avoid Arm Strain: Refrain from lifting your arms above chest level, driving, lifting heavy objects, or exercising for at least 2-3 weeks to prevent increased blood pressure and potential bleeding.
• Sleep on Your Back: Elevate your upper body with pillows to promote proper healing and reduce swelling.
• Postoperative Treatments: Your surgeon may recommend massages or therapies like therapeutic ultrasound or Capsuloblast to reduce inflammation and minimize the risk of capsular contracture.

By following these recommendations and staying connected with your surgeon throughout the process, patients from abroad can achieve their desired results and enjoy a positive experience with breast augmentation in Mexico.
