This question is regarding getting a brazilian buttlift in Tijuana, Mexico. I live in Los Angeles, California, 3 hrs away from Tijuana, Mexico. I would like to know how soon after having a brazilian buttlift will I be able to come back home by car? If I were to go home with my drain in at the time, how will I remove it? How many days after my surgery will I have to come back in to your office for a post op visit?

Answer: Going to Mexico for a BBL I'm reluctant to eat in restaurants when I go to Mexico let alone have elective surgical procedures.I would recommend you stay at home and have your procedure done locally.I've seen too many disastrous outcomes, from across the border including ones in caskets.Most plastic surgeons do not use drains for either liposuction or Brazilians.Do not count on any local plastic surgeons being enthusiastic about helping you to remove drains or take care of complications if you choose to go to Mexico for your procedure.there are talented plastic surgeons all over the world.Some countries have an overall high average standard of care while other countries have a great discrepancy of quality of care.I have known of doctors who have lost your license in the United States who then practice in Mexico.Some of them will even do consultations in San Diego or Los Angeles then do the surgeries in TJ because it is the only place still available for them.The doctor you're going to see maybe exceedingly talented and reputable.I'm only going by what I have seen during the last 20 years practicing in California.Save up a little bit more money and stay local.Best of luck wherever you go,Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Answer: Why going to Mexico? Why you would be going to Mexico when you can have your procedure done close to home? You should not have any drains with a BBL. Also, why would you want to risk having non-FDA materials possibly be mixed into your fat? Please explain your reasoning so that we can all learn from your decision making. Thank you.
