Are you tired of the extra skin and fat in your mid section?

A tummy tuck in Mexico can help remove loose or excess skin resulting from weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or age. This popular cosmetic surgery procedure can also tighten weakened abdominal muscles. Also known as an abdominoplasty, this procedure is designed to help patients achieve a flatter, more toned midsection and beautifully contoured waistline that is not achievable through diet and exercise. Not everyone is a candidate for tummy tuck in Mexico, to be approved for this surgery your BMI needs to be below 34.5. This is because, if there is too much fat under the skin, the result of this surgery would not be satisfactory as the maximum amount of fat that could be removed with liposuction along with a tummy tuck in Mexico is approximately 15 lbs.

Why Choose a Tummy Tuck in Mexico

Many people living in countries with high-cost health systems have decided to undergo a tummy tuck in Mexico thanks to Medical Tourism. It consists of traveling to another city or country to receive health treatments, particularly regarding surgical procedures. These types of trips aim to offer the same quality of medical services that patients would receive in their country of origin but at a much more affordable cost.

Medical Tourism in Mexico offers many benefits, such as its excellent geographical location, investments in private hospitals, infrastructure, and advanced technology equipment. The quality of the service is world-class; it has excellent prices when receiving treatments and surgical procedures. The patient will also enjoy the country's fantastic tourist attractions and extraordinary savings in tummy tuck Mexico cost.

Continue reading you will find the answers to the following questions:

Candidates for a tummy tuck are those with a relatively good figure but are concerned about fat accumulation or excess skin on the abdomen.

The primary candidates for this surgery are:

  • Women who have gone through pregnancies. In pregnancies, extra skin often forms due to expansion, especially in the last three months when the baby grows more prominent. After childbirth, it looks loose and makes the abdomen look somewhat bulging.
  • People who have suffered an increase in the skin's elasticity, typical of aging.
  • People who, with the help of specialized surgery or medical treatment, have achieved massive weight loss, causing the skin around the abdomen and chest to hang from the body.

Men who seek to achieve greater definition in the abdomen area also request a tummy tuck procedure. It is usually recommended for men who have lost a lot of weight incredibly quickly since one of its main consequences is sagging skin. Some areas resist diets or sports, even exercising constantly.

Through medical tourism, specific Mexican destinations offer the opportunity to improve the international economic flow. One of the places this tourism sector receives is Tijuana, in Baja California. This city gets many patients from different countries every year, among which the United States and Canada stand out.

Why choose Tijuana for medical tourism? Because you will find it a valuable opportunity to receive high-quality medical care. Physicians and specialists are Board Certified and state-of-the-art clinics equipped with the latest technology.

Medical tourism in Tijuana is constantly growing. The reason? There are increasing limitations on health insurance in other countries, such as the United States, where we find one of the most expensive health systems in the world.

That is when Tijuana becomes the favorite place for many foreign visitors who have been able to take advantage of the region's tremendous medical offer, both its affordable prices and the quality of its services, including the great cost of a tummy tuck in Mexico.

Liposuction in Mexico, as its name suggests, involves the removal of fat from certain parts of the body. It is not a procedure indicated explicitly for the abdomen. It can also be performed on the legs, hips, or buttocks. It is a technique that allows the cosmetic surgeon to reshape a person's figure according to her needs and preferences.

Contrary to what many believe, this procedure has nothing to do with obesity or being overweight. The person's mass is not controlled; the fat accumulated in certain body areas is simply eliminated.

Liposuction is usually associated with the abdomen because it is one of the parts of the body that suffers the most significant accumulation of fat. For the benefit of patients, this plastic surgery in Mexico does not leave any type of scar.

Unlike liposuction, a tummy tuck in Mexico is a cosmetic surgery technique performed on a person's abdomen. Its primary purpose is to return to this area of ​​the body the strength and firmness lost by time and the inevitable weakening of the tissues. It is one of the most complex procedures and requires advanced medical technology.

The main action of the surgeon in charge will be to reinforce the components of the abdomen. To achieve this, it will remove excess skin and tighten the muscles to achieve this, providing a much healthier and more attractive appearance in the indicated area.

A trend in cosmetic surgery is combining both procedures to achieve more optimal and long-lasting results. Despite leaving a slight scar, it is invisible thanks to its strategic location. In any case, before making any decision, we recommend consulting a specialist to determine the specific needs and options for your case.

In the world of cosmetic surgery, there are different treatments to improve the appearance of the abdomen. The most common are liposuction and tummy tuck, recommended for their excellent results and low-risk rates.

A tummy tuck, like liposuction, is a surgical procedure. Both aim to achieve an improvement in body contour. Even though these procedures work on the same body area, they are entirely different and aim at solving specific problems with our appearance.

At HW Bazaar, we know that liposuction absorbs fat found not only in the abdomen but also in any area of our body where there is fat.

The plastic surgeon can perform liposuction on the abdomen. It is recommended that the patient has well-toned muscles and skin in the best condition. If not, your surgeon may recommend a tummy tuck. Why?

Through liposuction, only fat is removed, but with a tummy tuck in Mexico, excess skin is removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened in addition to performing liposuction. We can say that liposuction exclusively treats fat, while tummy tuck treats skin, fat, and strength.

All you need to do is call Health & Wellness Bazaar at (858) 779-2552 and schedule an appointment for a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons. You will learn more details about this unique procedure and our all-inclusive packages so you can take the first step, sit back and enjoy a fantastic appearance!

With Health & Wellness Bazaar, traveling to Mexico for Tummy Tuck surgery is safe, easy, and affordable with surgery packages starting at $5,500 USD for a Mini Tummy Tuck with minimum wait times. We offer a no-cost case evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for Tummy Tuck surgery in Mexico and the type of Tummy Tuck that is most optimal for you.

THE TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

During your initial evaluation, our plastic surgeons will perform a thorough review of your case to ensure you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck and we will carefully explain the procedure in detail. Depending on the condition of your skin, your BMI and volume of excess skin needing removal, our surgeons may recommend any of the different Tummy Tuck options below:

  • Traditional Tummy Tuck : Also known as a full tummy tuck, this procedure addresses most concerns that are found above and below the naval to create a more contoured torso. With this technique, incisions are made along the abdomen from hip to hip, giving your surgeon full access to the underlying tissues and abdominal muscles. He will then remove any excess fat with liposuction, tighten weakened abdominal muscles, and re-drape and remove excess skin to create a smoother, more defined appearance.
  • Mini Tummy Tuck : For patients who have mild to moderate troublesome areas below the naval, a mini tummy tuck is recommended. During the procedure, a small incision is made below the naval so your surgeon can remove a small volume of excess fat, while also tightening and removing loose, saggy skin. Although this procedure does not offer as dramatic results as a full tummy tuck, patients can expect to recover faster with reduced risk for complications.
  • Extended Tummy Tuck : When patients undergo a significant amount of weight loss as a result of bariatric surgery or diet and exercise, it is not uncommon to experience high volumes of excess skin across the abdomen and hips. If left unaddressed, this tissue can prevent patients from properly fitting into clothes, as well as cause skin rashes and sores. In such cases, our surgeons may recommend an extended tummy tuck. During this procedure, an incision is made along the abdomen that will extend beyond the hipbone. This length of incisions allows the surgeon to not only remove excess skin and fat in the abdomen, but access tissue along the sides of the torso and lower back known to cause “love handles.”

On the day of the procedure, you will be taken back to a comfortable surgical room where the anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia. Once you are comfortably sedated, your surgeon will make the necessary incisions in discreet locations minimize scarring and ensure they are easily hidden beneath swimsuits and underwear. Once the incisions are made, he will remove any excess fat tissue, using liposuction if necessary. He will then tighten the underlying abdominal muscles and reposition the skin and naval to create a more contoured waistline and more defined abdomen. Once the abdomen has been sculpted to achieve desired results, your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and apply the necessary bandages and compression garments. The overall length of the procedure will depend on the type of tummy tuck performed, but in most cases will last anywhere from two to five hours.

RECOVERING FROM TUMMY TUCK

When you wake up after the anesthesia wears off, you can expect your abdomen to feel very sore. Pain relieving medications will decrease the amount of pain you feel. Your surgeon will prescribe an antibiotic as a preventative for infections. You will also have redness, bruising and swelling. These will subside in the first three weeks after surgery during the healing process.

If your procedure required surgical drains, those will need to be emptied periodically to assist with fluid build-up. Seven to 10 days after your procedure, the doctor will remove your surgical drains and monitor you for any signs of infection. Most patients can expect to return to work within one to two weeks, but you will need to continue wearing your compression garment for several weeks to help minimize swelling and support healing. Typically, you can resume light exercise three to four weeks after surgery and full physical activity in five to six weeks. While you may notice some immediate effects, the full results of your procedure will not be visible until up to six months later. As the swelling and bruising subsides, you can begin to enjoy your newly shaped body.

Medical Tourism and Cosmetic Surgery

The practice of Medical Tourism has become more and more common. In the past, it was common for people from less developed countries, perhaps with poor medical services, to travel to countries with more advanced technologies and better services to obtain surgery or procedure that was not accessible in their home country. But these days, hundreds of patients from countries such as the United States, Canada, or Europe have found it very convenient to travel to other countries to obtain medical services and surgeries, such as the tummy tuck in Mexico.

The main reason this type of Medical Tourism has grown is the high costs of medical services and plastic surgeries in places like the United States, Canada, and Europe. Due to the high cost, many medical services and surgeries are tough to pay for or to pay them, and the patient would need to incur substantial debt. These high prices have resulted in a boom in the practice of Medical Tourism in Mexico and other places. In these receiving countries, it is possible to obtain excellent medical services and the best doctors in the region but at a much more affordable price.

One of the states in Mexico that receives thousands of tourists in search of medical attention is Tijuana. Tijuana is a city with an advanced infrastructure. Since it is close to the American border, it is easy to access all the benefits and comforts of the United States, but at a much lower price. Many foreign patients have traveled to Tijuana and have received excellent medical attention, and this has had two results:

  • More tourists travel to Mexico to obtain medical services: Hundreds of patients from the United States, Canada, and European countries choose to come to Mexico for their treatments. This high volume of visitors has resulted in a greater demand for high-quality services.

  • More offers of premium medical services: Mexican authorities and investors have realized the great demand for high-quality medical services, which has resulted in more and more companies, hospitals, and clinics offering increasingly better services at better prices. As a result, past patients return, and new patients try medical tourism for themselves.
