WORTH IT$4,900
5’2-125lbs. I was skeptical about going to Tijuana for this procedure but I’m so glad I did. I received 450CC/lift(silicon).My recovery is taking a while not as I expected but I am happy with my choice. The downside was that the primary language is Spanish when going to the clinic. I do speak Spanish so that helps. The doctor was honest with me about the procedure. The staff at this facility were amazing. They were attentive and took care of me. The doctor has you stay for a night at the facility to monitor vitals and the recovery which I absolutely love. They fed me and kept me comfortable. I’m currently 2 1/2 weeks post op and still recovering. The scarring is healing very well. I currently am feeling a little pain in the sternum area when I stand straight. Kind of curious if that is common. Even though I did a lot of research before the surgery I still feel like I had different recovery results. I personally was in pain and still have some pain. The lift is what made it more difficult for me. My posture when I stand and walk is a little hunched over. I’m getting use to it all still. I’m still happy I made this decision.

Your breast looks awesome.

They do. I just can't believe they let her choose the saline with that size implant. It's way less likely to stay in place.

I did not get saline. I receive silicon implants which are FDA approved since 2006.

How long was your recovery before you went back to work? What does he charge?

I paid $4,900. Thankfully I was laid off at the moment due to covid so I didn't have to go back to work but there was no way I wouldve gone back after a week. I would take 2 weeks off minimum.

Here is 3 weeks post op. Feeling good :) 
450CC silicon + breast lift 
Most soreness went away. All my incisions are pretty much closed. That's a good feeling. Just got the approvals to start massaging my breast. I still wake up super heavy up top but it goes away once I'm up and going.

That's good to know. I was curious if my lift recovery was just a lot longer than normal. Thank you.

Here is 4 weeks post op. Not in pain anymore. Still not wearing a bra with underwire. I am curious if I’m able to sleep on my stomach and sides now. I’ll be asking my dr. Pretty happy with my results. Wishing I would’ve gone bigger.
