What are the potential risks and complications of having upper eyelid surgery in Mexico?

Potential risks of upper eyelid surgery include infection, bleeding, dry eyes, and asymmetry. Choosing a board-certified surgeon can minimize these risks, and many clinics in Mexico adhere to international safety standards to ensure patient safety.

How do I ensure the surgeon in Mexico is qualified and experienced in performing upper eyelid surgery?

Verify the surgeon's credentials by checking if they are members of reputable organizations such as the ISAPS. Additionally, inquire about their training background, years of experience, and request before-and-after photos of previous patients.

Will there be a language barrier during my consultation and surgery in Mexico?

Many clinics in Mexico cater to international patients and have English-speaking staff or offer translation services. It's advisable to confirm this beforehand to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment.

What should I consider when planning travel arrangements for my surgery in Mexico?

Plan to arrive at least a day before your scheduled surgery to acclimate and attend pre-operative consultations. Ensure your travel insurance covers medical procedures abroad and arrange for comfortable accommodation for your recovery period.

How can I verify the accreditation and safety standards of the clinic or hospital in Mexico?

Check if the facility is accredited by international bodies such as the Joint Commission International (JCI) or has affiliations with organizations like ISAPS. This ensures adherence to high standards of care and safety protocols.

What is the typical recovery time for upper eyelid surgery, and how will it affect my travel plans?

Recovery from upper eyelid surgery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding within this period. Plan your travel back home after at least a week post-surgery to allow adequate healing time.

Are there any hidden costs associated with getting surgery done in Mexico, such as post-operative care or medication?

While many packages include basic post-operative care, additional costs may arise for medications or extended follow-up visits. It's important to clarify all included services with the clinic beforehand to avoid unexpected expenses.

What kind of follow-up care will I need after returning home from surgery in Mexico?

Follow-up care typically involves monitoring healing progress through virtual consultations with your surgeon. Ensure you have access to a local healthcare provider for any immediate concerns once you return home.

How do I manage any potential complications once I am back home after the surgery?

If complications arise, contact your surgeon immediately for guidance. Having a local healthcare provider familiar with your procedure can also help manage any issues that may occur post-surgery.

Is it safe to travel alone for my upper eyelid surgery in Mexico, or should I bring a companion?

While it's possible to travel alone, having a companion can provide emotional support and assistance during recovery. Consider bringing someone along, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area or require help post-surgery.

What are the emotional impacts of undergoing cosmetic surgery abroad, and how can I prepare myself?

Undergoing cosmetic surgery abroad can be emotionally challenging due to being away from familiar support systems. Prepare by researching thoroughly, setting realistic expectations, and maintaining open communication with your healthcare provider.

How can I ensure that my health insurance covers any emergencies that may arise during my stay in Mexico?

Review your health insurance policy to confirm coverage for international medical emergencies. Consider purchasing additional travel insurance that includes medical coverage specific to procedures performed abroad.

Terrible surgeon. Will not take the time to speak with you, when he does he knows limited English and is very very rushed. The first time me he gave me results that were so drastic I looked like a pig or someone from who-ville. I had to pay for a second surgery for him to give me my old nose but even worse! (Again super rushed, had zero time to make a decision). Absolutely awful experience. Scary. He refused to even try to fix my nose now for another 6 months. Even though I offered to pay again. Have to date and see friends humiliated with a half finished face. Go to someone with talent and who actually cares. He doesn’t. You are just a number to the surgeons there. Read more less

My medical team with carlos leading, was great. I couldn't ask for any better. From start to finish, he was always available. He speaks perfect English. He checked on me daily. The price quotes did not change. Dr aylana is very knowledgeable in his field. In the consultation he asked me what my expectations were. He didn't try to talk me into any procedures I didn't need. He was honest about what he could do. Having medical procedures abroad is different from the US. It is still safe for fraction of the price. Read more less

I'm very happy with the results I'm seeing so far and anticipate being even happier as the swelling goes down and my new figure fully reveals itself

Dr Ana was very sweet and helpful as was her daughter Louise. Despite the language barrier they were able to communicate to me what the procedure was going to be in terms of medical tests on surgery day. The anesthetist was wonderful and easy to communicate with. The nurses who tended to me post procedure were very kind, but there was definitely a language barrier. I had hoped to be able to use my phones translator, but did not anticipate how difficult it would be for me to move after the procedure often times I would not be able to reach my phone. Once I arrived there, there were some nominal unanticipated additional costs that I was not made aware of. Specifically, $200 a night to sleep another night in the clinic when I was too swollen and sore to move and wasn't going to be able to get on a plane just yet. I stayed in a nice hotel the night before the procedure and paid only $77 for that accommodation. It would be different if they had been bringing me juice and water frequently or otherwise caring for me, but I often found myself dehydrated and lacking cold water. I appreciate that they brought me food, but all of the food that they brought me was so dry that I could not eat it because my mouth was already so dry. They were very sweet to go and get me and ice cream when I asked for a popsicle. Otherwise you got whatever they gave you, whenever they decided to give it to you. The rest of the time I was just left alone in my room, which was fine because I really was not able to move. There are times and it would have been helpful to have someone nearby to hand me lip balm from my bag, but generally I was left by myself. I am 2 weeks out from my procedure so I'm still very swollen, St iff and sore, but I can tell that the surgeon did an excellent job with my procedure. I'm very happy with the results I'm seeing so far and anticipate being even happier as the swelling goes down and my new figure fully reveals itself. This is not the same kind of experience as having cosmetic surgery in the states. There's very little consultation/ pre-op care other than the scheduling. The Aftercare is almost non-existent. I was prepared for that and so I had real significant complaints outside of the lack of pain management offered post procedure. Read more less

I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue

I had a really great experience with my doctor and care here. I wanted a very natural looking nose, not to look "doll-like" or like I had a rhinoplasty. Same for lip filler. I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue. I believe it required different degrees of cutting for each nostril so I'm very impressed that the end result's symmetry appears less than 1mm different from one another, that's a huge improvement from before. The shape is really nice and I was impressed that after surgery the packing was done in such a way that I was able to breathe through my nose the whole time, even during my recovery. Read more less
