Surgery in Mexico

Robin T.W. Yuan, MD answers: Advice for multiple procedures in Mexico?

I am going to have a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation done at the same time with a board-certified doctor in Mexico. He says he can also do minor Liposuction and inject the fat in the buttocks to give me a more smooth look, he says this is included on all tummy tuck patients if they wish to do so, but I am a little nervous. Is it possible to have the three procedures done, along with the Lipo and Brazilian Butt Lift?

There are some excellent plastic surgeons in Mexico but I still wouldn't recommend going to a different country for cosmetic surgery. The question is not if you can have all the procedures performed simultaneously, or if a doctor there thinks it is safe or not safe to do, or what the cost is. When everything going right, everyone is happy. The question is, what if something goes wrong or not according to plan? Things can go wrong in the best of situations and you need to be prepared. If you are confident that things such as anesthetic problems, infections, prolonged recovery over weeks, deep vein thrombus and pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, as well as healing problems or capsular contracture of the implants can be handling while in Mexico then you might be fine. If not, it isn't worth the risk.
