Plastic Surgery

Rhinoplasty reshapes and refines the nose by modifying bone and cartilage. It can be performed as an open procedure (with a small external incision at the base of the nose) or a closed procedure (all incisions inside the nostrils). It is one of the most personalized and technically demanding aesthetic procedures.

Duration: 1.5–3 hours.

Stay in Mexico: Approximately 7 days.

Recovery: Moderate discomfort, congestion, and pressure rather than severe pain.

Return to work: 1–2 weeks.

Exercise: 4–6 weeks.

Key safety point: Major complication rate is approximately 0.7%. Temporary nasal-tip numbness is relatively common and usually resolves over time
Breast augmentation increases breast size and improves shape using silicone or saline implants, or in some cases, fat transfer. Implants can be placed above the chest muscle (subglandular) or below it (submuscular). The most common incision is inframammary (under the breast fold), though periareolar approaches are also used.

Duration: 2–4 hours.

Stay in Mexico: Approximately 7 days.

Recovery: Moderate soreness for 5–7 days.

Return to work: 1–2 weeks.

Exercise: 4–6 weeks.

Key benefit: Many patients experience significant relief from pre-operative back and neck pain soon after surgery.

Main risks: Changes in nipple sensation, scarring, infection, hematoma, and minor asymmetry.
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportional size and relieve physical symptoms such as chronic back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation.

Duration: 2–4 hours.

Stay in Mexico: Approximately 7 days.

Recovery: Moderate soreness for 5–7 days.

Return to work: 1–2 weeks.

Exercise: 4–6 weeks.

Key benefit: Many patients experience significant relief from pre-operative back and neck pain soon after surgery.

Main risks: Changes in nipple sensation, scarring, infection, hematoma, and minor asymmetry.
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles, producing a flatter, firmer contour. The procedure takes 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia, with longer times if combined with liposuction.

Duration: 2–4 hours.

Hospital stay: Usually 1–2 nights.

Stay in Mexico: 7–10 days.

Recovery: Pain and tightness are most noticeable during the first few days.

Compression garment: 4–6 weeks.

Return to work: Around 2 weeks.

Exercise: 4–6 weeks.

Main complication: Seroma, occurring in approximately 5–20% of patients and generally manageable.

Key safety concern: DVT/PE (blood clots), which is actively prevented and monitored.
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, chin, and/or neck using a thin tube (cannula) connected to suction. This is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss treatment — ideal candidates are near their goal weight with stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise.

Duration: 1–3 hours.

Stay in Mexico: 5–7 days.

Recovery: Moderate soreness similar to a deep muscle bruise.

Return to work: 3–7 days.

Strenuous exercise: 2–4 weeks.

Compression garment: 4–6 weeks.

Results: Visible improvement around weeks 4–6; final results in 3–6 months.

Main risks: Minor contour irregularities, seroma, infection, and very rare DVT/PE
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures — typically abdominoplasty, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction — performed in a single surgical session to restore pre-pregnancy body contour. The exact combination is customized to each patient's goals and anatomy.

Duration: 3–6 hours.

Hospital stay: 1–2 nights.

Stay in Mexico: 10–14 days.

Recovery: The tummy-tuck component is usually the main source of discomfort.

Return to work: Around 2 weeks.

Full physical activity: 4–6 weeks.

Key safety point: Because multiple procedures are combined, risks related to longer anesthesia and reduced mobility can increase.

In some cases, the surgeon may recommend staging procedures into two separate surgeries for safety.
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be both cosmetic and functional, improving the visual field when drooping skin obstructs peripheral vision. Lower eyelid surgery is primarily cosmetic, addressing bags and puffiness.

Duration: 1–2 hours.

Anesthesia: Usually local anesthesia with sedation.

Stay in Mexico: 5–7 days.

Recovery: Minimal pain; mainly tightness, swelling, bruising, or temporary dryness.

Return to work: 5–10 days.

Main consideration: Temporary dry eyes or excessive tearing occur in approximately 10–20%.

Serious complications are described as extremely rare.
Bichectomy removes the buccal fat pads from the cheeks to create a more sculpted, defined facial contour. The procedure is performed through small incisions inside the mouth, leaving no external scars.

Duration: 30–60 minutes.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or light sedation.

Stay in Mexico: 3–5 days.

Recovery: Mild discomfort and facial swelling, usually lasting about one week.

Return to work: 2–3 days.

Final results: 2–3 months.

Safety: Very low overall complication rate; facial nerve damage occurs in less than 0.1% of patients
Otplasty corrects protruding or asymmetric ears by reshaping the ear cartilage. The most common indication is prominent ears, often referred to as ear pinning. The procedure can be performed in children (age 5 and older) or adults.

Duration: 1–2 hours.

Stay in Mexico: 5–7 days.

Recovery: Mild to moderate discomfort for 2–3 days.

Headband: Worn continuously for 1–2 weeks, then at night for 4–6 weeks.

Return to work: 5–7 days.

Contact sports: Avoid for 6–8 weeks.

Main risks: Infection, hematoma, and minor asymmetry.

Bariatric Surgery

A gastric balloon is a soft, saline-filled silicone balloon placed inside the stomach endoscopically — through the mouth, with no incisions. The balloon occupies space in the stomach, promoting earlier fullness and reduced food intake. The balloon is temporary and is removed after 6 to 12 months. This is a non-surgical, reversible option for patients with lower BMI or those who are not candidates for bariatric surgery.

No surgery or incisions required.

The balloon is removed after 6–12 months.

Duration: 20–30 minutes.

Stay in Mexico: 3–5 days.

Recovery: Nausea, vomiting, and cramping are common during the first few days as the body adjusts.

Return to work: Usually 3–5 days.

Expected weight loss: Approximately 10–15% of total body weight during the balloon period.

Key advantage: Temporary and reversible.

Safety: Serious complications are rare; gastric perforation occurs in less than 0.1%.
Gastric Sleeve surgery permanently removes approximately 80% of the stomach laparoscopically, leaving a narrow, banana-shaped sleeve. This restricts food intake and significantly reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin. It is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide.

Duration: 1–1.5 hours.

Hospital stay: 1–2 nights.

Stay in Mexico: 5–7 days.

Diet progression: Liquids → pureed → soft → solid foods over 6–8 weeks.

Expected weight loss: Approximately 60–70% of excess body weight within 12–18 months.

Key consideration: Nutritional supplementation is important to prevent deficiencies.

Main complications: Overall 30-day complication rate of approximately 5%; staple-line leak occurs in less than 1%

Gastric bypass/ Roux-en-Y:
Gastric Bypass creates a small stomach pouch about the size of an egg and reroutes the small intestine, bypassing a significant portion of the stomach and duodenum. This produces both restriction (smaller stomach means less food) and malabsorption (fewer calories are absorbed).

Duration: 1.5–2.5 hours.

Hospital stay: 2–3 nights.

Stay in Mexico: 7–10 days.

Recovery: Main discomfort generally improves within 1–2 weeks.

Expected weight loss: 70–80% of excess body weight within 12–18 months.

Key consideration: Requires lifelong nutritional supplementation.

Main risk: Dumping syndrome occurs in approximately 20–40% of patients.

30-day complication rate: Approximately 7–8%.
