My Medical Vacations in Cancun

WORTH IT$5,001
I am booked with Dr Torres through My Medical Vacations for November 20 for a breast lift and implants.
I did a lot of research many many email with their coordinator and also a Skype with Dr. Torres before I became confident that I was choosing the best route to take. The cost is a fraction of what I was quoted here in BC. I was also given phone numbers to contact past patients. I was reassured by them that I will be in great hands but of course I am still nervous about possible complications with surgery anywhere. I am 50 in good health generally 5’2 160lbs.
There are not many reviews on here so I thought I will share my experience for others. More to follow as the dates approach closer.

So I did it!

I arrived Nov 17 and found my rep waiting to pick mr up at the airport. So friendly I felt right at ease.
We checked in our hotel ( Smart Cancun Oasis) and my assistant picked me up for 6:00pm blood work dropping me back off to the hotel. Everything is very close and done within 15 min.
The next day I was again picked up to meet the cardiologist for my EKG ( they take no chances with your health) all was perfect for me so off for my consult with Dr EdgarTorres.
My husband came with me and was involved in the entire consult as was my assistant in order to have perfect translation. Dr Torres is a perfectionist and will first recommend what procedure will give you the best realistic results “not to ruin my work” he says : always asking if I understand or have any questions.
He actually manipulated the breast to show my husband and myself an approximate result.
I also decided to do upper and lower eye lift as well with his recommendation which was only $1000
more.
Total costs so far breast lift with implants, upper lower eye lift, under $5000
Then we made payment. I had 2 days to enjoy Cancun prior to my surgery.
Day of surgery I was a bit nervous but the whole team was very reassuring every step of h way and you are treated like the only priority. I loved the fact they do not use anesthesia as this can be a danger in any surgery. They use epidural with heavy sedation ( the anesthesiologist was vey professional, spoke good English and eased my worries immediately)
I woke up feeling rested, not crappy like all other surgeries I’ve had and I also had NO PAIN! None!
I was kept in hospital over night so they could in their words “pamper you” and they did. I was always
The hospital was minimal but cleaner than any in Canada, making me wonder why so many taxpayer dollars are spent on bells and whistles instead of staff! I was given a delicious healthy breakfast.
My nurse stayed with me all night and brought mr to my hotel around 11am coming up to my room to explain my meds in great detail. You are put on heavy doses of antibiotics from the day of surgery to ward of any chance of infection before it has an opportunity to start.
As I write this it has been 24 hours since surgery and I notice my compression bandage has come a little loose. I texted my nurse and she will be coming in an hour to change it. CAN YOU GET THAT IN CANADA? Noooooo!
My Medical Vacations took lol the worry and concern off me. Although I am having a little more pain tonight it I far les than expected. I could not be happier so far. I will keep you posted with pics later.

I am scheduled for a tt and large Lipo with Dr. Torres in Feb. I can only hope I made the right choice with Dr's. I met with him in Oct and really felt like he was professional and caring. Just wondering what made your final decision?
January 14, 2018
you will not be disappointed! my advice is to listen to his expertise and not insist on anything else. He is a true perfectionist and will give you he best results if you follow his advice. I am going back to have him fix the dog ears from my Canadian tummy tuck. Dr Torres is the only surgeon I would eve trust or future procedures. You made bright decision.

Thank you. Nice to hear from other patients. I am very excited to have this done.

Sorry for the bad grammar, Auto correct sucks sometimes and I couldn’t o back to edit, you made the right decision. Don’t worry.

I went to MMV in 2015 for dental work and BA. I agree,the care while there is exceptional, however you have to come home at some point. That's where the nightmares start. Ensure you have good aftercare at home. Once they have your money and you go home they forget who you are. I paid over 5000 for implants for one month. BE CAREFUL

they must have changed an awful lot because they insisted I stay for 2 weeks after care in Cancun. my implants are registered with a lifetime warranty. it has now been 3 months with no issues. my questions I had I was immediately addressed. their after care has been Bar none

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago with Dr. Torres. I decided against a tt and went with a breast lift and lipo. My experience with the dr was great. Spent much time marking me for surgery. The girls at MMV are great except for 1. Once I paid she literally took the money and ran without a thank you or anything. The hospital was fine and very clean. I have not had any pain since I came out of surgery. Was walking all over downtown Cancun by day 2. I would not hesitate to use Dr. Torres in the future if I need something else. Thank you for your input it was great to hear from a real pt.

Hard to sleep last night. Mostly back pain from laying so much and maybe the epidural. Feeling much better after a shower and compression bra. Almost completely pain free.

Are you happy with the position of your breasts? They look a little low(?)

I love your volume. Did you go over or under the muscle?
