Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation & Liposuction in Mexico!

TL;DR: GO WITH DR. COTA-REYES! He is amazing! Super talented, great bed-side manner, consistent follow-up, always available via text!

I am 31 years old and since I began puberty, I always had a noticeable difference in my breast size. One was a B, the other a D. One was perky, the other saggy. I was always self-conscious about the clothes I wore - never wore anything exposing much of my upper body. Constantly pulling up my shirts so I didn't show my uneven-ness.

I never wanted implants because I didn’t want anything foreign in my body so I was at a loss for a while. Then one day I came across a plastic surgeon on TikTok (of all places) and he talked about a fat transfer breast augmentation. I was hooked. I had enough fat to transfer anywhere and everywhere! And it was at that point decided I had had enough of hating that part of my body.

I took a few weeks to research plastic surgeons in my area (Las Vegas) and abroad in Mexico. I looked in Mexico City, Cancun, Tijuana, and Ensenada. I got 6 or 7 different consultations, and almost all of the surgeons wanted to do the surgery their way. I made it clear I had one goal: more symmetrical breasts that looked and felt natural. And Dr. Cota-Reyes did just that!

I understood I would not have 100% symmetrical breasts with this procedure, but I just wanted to feel comfortable wearing a bikini. I requested each doctor give me a quote for a fat transfer to one breast and if they saw fit, remove some fat from the bigger one. No breast lift. No areola reduction. 5 of the 7 doctors decided they wanted to present me with quotes that included either a breast lift, an areola reduction, or both. They were automatically disqualified. I knew I wanted a doctor that would listen to what I wanted. Out of the two remaining doctors, I felt best with Dr. Cota-Reyes due to easy and prompt communication, his ability to listen to what I wanted, and price.

We communicated about my surgery via Whatsapp, directly with Dr. Cota-Reyes. We agreed to do a full-body lipo: abdomen & flanks for the breast...and arms & back per my request. He scheduled me for surgery 4-weeks out and sent me a Pre-Op diet. It gave me enough time to plan my trip from Las Vegas to Ensenada (I drove down with my fiance). I was in constant communication with Dr. prior to surgery and I decided I would stay at least 2 weeks post-surgery for the recovery period.

Surgery went great! It took about 2-3 hours (I can't remember). On a pain scale of 10, I would say I was at about a 6-7ish for the first 48 hours. Then pain slowly started subsiding after that. Getting used to the girdle is hard, and you are VERY swollen. Main thing is that it's hard to get comfortable for the first week. Especially while sleeping.Overall, I would give Dr. Cota-Reyes a 10/10! I will definitely come back for any future procedures I want done! He also does fillers, massages, and facials in his clinic. I signed up for 10 Post-Op massages that I'm currently in the middle of getting! More details to come! :)
