YOUR STAY IN MEXICO
Day of your arrival
The patient will arrive at Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) - Aeropuerto Benito Juárez International, Mexico.

A driver will receive you and he will drive you to your hotel.

Depending on the hour of your arrival, your assistant will receive you at the hotel or she /he will call you to ensure that everything is perfect for you and to verify you have everything you need for your first medical consultation with the surgeon (Blood tests, Cardiological Exam & Surgical Risk Evaluation…).

The assistants we provide are not exclusive; they are assigned according to availability. It is possible that one assistant will receive you at the airport whereas another will go with you to the medical consultation.
It is possible for the patient to ask for an exclusive assistant, but this service has an additional cost.

First consultation with the Surgeon

Your first Medical Consultation will be programmed for the same day of your arrival or the next day, everything will depend on the hour of your arrival.
We recommend you to choose a flight that arrives at Mexico in the morning in order you can have your first consultation with the surgeon the day of your arrival.
Your assistant will accompany you to all your appointments with the surgeon.
 

During your first a face-to-face consultation, the surgeon will explain you in detail all the procedure, and you will have all the time you need to ask questions about your surgery and the results you can expect.
You shall inform your surgeon during the pre-operative consultation of any and all the antecedents in your clinical history, besides seeking clarification during the consultation regarding any and all doubts with regards to the possible complications, characteristic risks of the surgery and post-operative procedures.
The surgeon will give you all the information concerning the post operative cares, risks and complications.

He will determine if it is feasible to combine several procedures into one single surgical intervention without putting at risk the security and safety of the patient. If necessary, the surgeons will divide any surgical procedure into two or more interventions.

Additional Expenses
If, after your first consultation, you decide to have any additional surgery performed or to carry out your surgery in another clinic / hospital; you should express your decision directly to your Top Plastic Surgeons Mexico assistant with the aim of modifying, adjusting, or increasing the package, taking into account the additional expenses.

Consent form you will sign before the surgery
Prior to your surgery you will sign in the clinic a consent form –a legal document– in which you declare your express consent to undergo the specified surgery, being fully-aware of the risks arising from said surgical intervention.

The day of the surgery & Hospital Stay.
We will arrange everything for the surgery day, so you don't have to worry about anything except relaxing! Your assistant will drive you to the Clinic. Once in the Clinic he/she will ensure you are relaxed and comfortable in your room.

Depending on the number and kind of procedures, you will have to spend one (or two night) in the hospital where you will be resting. The next day your assistant will go to pick you up between 12:00pm and 1:00pm to take you to your hotel so you can continue with your recovery period.

After the surgery
The next medical consultation will be 48 hours after your surgery. The Surgeon will evaluate your recovery period; he will give you the instructions you need to follow to obtain the best results.
During your stay you will have follow up appointments with the surgeon after your procedure to ensure you are healing and recovering well. This is a very important step to take in the recovery process, which is often unavailable or expensive at home.

Departure and at home
Before your departure the surgeon will determine your final consultation; he will control your health state, and he will check your scars. If there is no complication or medical issue, he will discharge you.

Once this experience is finished a taxi driver from the hotel will chauffeur you to the airport.
Our support and commitment doesn't finish at the airport. We will check your progress by email or phone.
