Why Plastic Surgery in Mexico?

"I strongly believe that México has become one of the top Aesthetic Destinations in the world. The training process of specialists alongside with state of the art facilities, has brought a new level of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery to local and international patients. Government is also doing its part as the regulations have become more strict and penalties more severe for those who do not comply with the requirements."

Why should I use a medical travel agency for medical treatment abroad?

Medical Tourism Agencies like My Medical Vacations, offer integral support to the patient before, during, and after the surgical traveling. As I mentioned, before traveling, it's all about having useful and decisive information about the procedure, how to prepare and more importantly, having the confidence and peace of mind that as a patient, all has been arranged and prepared for your arrival. Inevitably, logistics and on-site arrangements are part of medical tourism. Having an experienced team that can take care of these aspects, and at the same time providing reassurance and support is very important to create a confident environment for our clients.

Some of the challenges patients face when they travel abroad for surgery and that we assist them with, are:

Language barriers
Do not have reliable contacts
Do not know the city
Logistics
Mobility Challenges during recovery
Access to special services
Access to Medication
Budgets
