Breast Augmentation in Tijuana Mexico

Breast augmentation by our plastic surgery team can enhance the size, shape, projection, and symmetry of your breasts to help you experience an exhilarating new level of confidence. Our surgeons are compassionate physicians who have helped many women achieve a bust line that provides a flattering complement to their figure, broadening clothing options and boosting self-esteem. During a consultation, in person or online, they can plan a treatment to help you achieve precisely the bust dimensions you desire.*

Breast Augmentation Candidacy

Breast augmentation can benefit those who wish to correct:

• Disproportionately small breasts
• Loss of volume in the breasts after weight loss or childbearing
• Results of a previous augmentation with unsatisfactory results
• Uneven or asymmetrical breasts

The best candidates are non-smokers over the age of 18 in good general health who do not suffer from diabetes or an autoimmune disorder. Our plastic surgery team will carefully review your medical history and assess the current state of your health to determine if breast augmentation is safe for you. In some cases, your surgeon may recommend combining breast augmentation with a breast lift in order to achieve the bustline you desire.*

Your Consultation

During the initial consultation, we will discuss your concerns and your aesthetic goals. Contrary to popular belief, most women do not augment their breasts to make them larger as much as to improve their shape and firmness. Whatever your desired outcome, feel free to bring pictures with you to the consultation to help our plastic surgery team understand your cosmetic goals. After reviewing your concerns, they will conduct a physical examination of your breast tissue and skin, and plan the best way to achieve your desired outcome.

Foreign patients will be asked to email specific photographs to help us determine which procedure best responds to their needs.
Among other things, we will discuss:

• Implant options. There are two types of breast implants, cohesive silicon or saline solution. At LIMARP we always opt for implant made from cohesive silicone as they are the best option currently available.
• The surgical procedure
• Post-surgical care
• Recovery timeline
• Cost and financing options

Both saline and silicone implants are safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but our team has opted for cohesive silicone implants exclusively, because they provide more benefits to patients and are proven to be safe and with a more natural form.

Personalized Care

A breast augmentation with implants will allow you to choose the size and projection you want for your breasts. Our experience allows us to help you determine which type of implant is right for your aesthetic goals, breast shape, desired breast size, and other personal factors.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation surgery can typically be completed in about one to two hours. General steps to this process include:

• Anesthesia: Breast augmentation can be performed under general anesthesia or under regional anesthesia with sedation. Be assured that the ideal type of anesthesia for your case will be used. Afterward, it is normal to feel tired and groggy, but you will recover in a few hours.
• Incisions: Once you are comfortable, your surgeon will create an incision. The type and location will be dependent on your unique needs. However, most incisions are placed in the crease under the breast, the armpit, or around the areola. Your plastic surgeon will strategically place the incisions to minimize scarring.
• Implant placement: Once the sites are prepared, the breast implants will be placed. These may be positioned above or beneath the pectoral muscle, depending on your unique case. Our team will discuss your options with you in detail during your initial consultation.
• Stitches: After the implants have been placed, the incisions will be closed with surgical sutures. In most cases, absorbable stitches will be used. This means they will fall out on their own during the healing process.
• Bandages: Your plastic surgeon may place surgical drains in your incisions to help reduce swelling and inflammation. You will also be fitted for a compression garment which will help support and contour the healing tissues.

Recovery following Breast Augmentation

Immediately following breast augmentation and when your medical team allows it, you will be able to go home and rest. All strenuous activity should be avoided until further notice, including lifting, bending, or straining. Your plastic surgeon will let you know when it is safe to resume normal activity. He will also provide you with a list of comprehensive post-surgical instructions, which should be followed closely for a successful recovery.

As with any surgical procedure, some level of discomfort is to be expected. This side effect typically begins to diminish after 48 hours and can be managed successfully with prescription medications and over-the-counter pain relievers. During the early stages of recovery, it is common to feel sore, tired, and fatigued.

Residual swelling can linger for up to five weeks or longer after breast augmentation. During this time, the breasts will likely be very sensitive. Scarring typically fades dramatically over the first several months, but your scars will never disappear completely. However, your plastic surgeon will use inconspicuous incision placement to minimize the appearance of scarring.
