Plastic Surgery in Mexico: myths and horror stories

Plastic Surgery in Mexico Horror Stories

Pl

Disfigured faces, implant rupture, near-death experiences... all because she crossed the border to get plastic surgery in Mexico. The image is horrible: you arrive at a dusty and shady clinic in a dimly lit place, you are welcomed by a poorly shaven obese doctor with alcoholic breath, dirty surgical instruments all over the place, nurses drawn from a cantina in a Mexican border town... Hell on earth.

These are some of the things that come to mind when thinking about plastic surgery in Mexico. Reality is quite different, despite things we may read in the media. Last year a story was published of two women from Texas who visited a hospital in Tijuana to have a cheap plastic surgery. The outcome was appalling. Not only they obviously didn't get the breast augmentation in Mexico they expected, but they could’ve even lose their lives.

Sometimes common sense is the least common of the senses. If you hear something too good to be true, maybe it is. If you see a "hospital" located in a mall with an image that radiates lack of seriousness, plus cheap services that promise miracles, maybe it is not a good idea to put your life in the hands of that place.

But we need to set the record straight. In Mexico, as in the United States, there are all kinds of services, from dark and shady businesses all the way to certified surgeons working in recognized establishments with standards up to par with the best health care institutions in the United States and Canada. At Hispano Americano Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico, our plastic surgery program is led by board certified surgeon Dr. Francisco Amaya, who has extensive experience in thousands of American and Canadian patients, plus a renowned innovative technique due to his practice under the best surgeons in the region.
