Reconstructive Surgery in Mexico City
Reconstructive surgery: restoring form and function when something was lost, and stating clearly what is and is not possible.
What it is and how it works
we bring together three areas of reconstructive surgery here.
What it treats, in detail
- Mastectomy for cancer or prophylaxis, and delayed reconstruction of previous mastectomies.
- Sequelae of breast-conserving surgery.
- Scars from surgery, trauma or burns.
- Symptomatic keloids, with pain or itching.
- Pain, firmness, deformity or recurrent infections from biopolymers.
How we do it here
in breast reconstruction we work coordinated with your oncology team, because cancer treatment leads and reconstruction adapts to it. And we say one thing clearly: we do not perform microsurgery or free flaps. If your case requires that type of reconstruction, for example after radiotherapy with severely compromised skin, we tell you and refer you to the appropriate team. In keloids the treatment is always multimodal: surgery plus adjuvant therapy, never surgery alone, because excising a keloid and simply closing it is the surest way for it to return. And in biopolymers, we begin with imaging to assess extent and depth, and we plan in stages.
Who it’s for
if you are undergoing or have finished breast cancer treatment, if a scar bothers or limits you, or if you have symptoms from injected material.
Who it’s not for
we do not operate with uncontrolled active infection or with oncologic disease that requires treatment priority. For recent scars, the right call is often to wait and treat conservatively before operating.
What to expect
- 01
it varies greatly by case.
- 02
Breast reconstruction is a staged process, not a single event.
- 03
Scars are usually treated under local anesthesia in a series, with prolonged follow-up.
- 04
Biopolymer removal is major surgery and almost always requires several stages and subsequent reconstruction.
Risks and what we tell you honestly
in breast reconstruction, radiotherapy changes everything, because it substantially increases the risk of contracture, infection and implant loss. In scars, the goal is to improve, not to erase: a scar never disappears, and in keloids recurrence is high and treatment requires prolonged follow-up. And in biopolymers, the most important truth: complete removal cannot be guaranteed. The material is infiltrated between the tissues, not contained in a capsule, and removing it entirely would mean resecting healthy tissue unacceptably. Anyone promising total removal is not telling the truth. The real goal is to remove as much as possible, treat the compromised tissue, control the inflammation and reconstruct.
Beyond aesthetics
in breast reconstruction, it is part of cancer treatment and not a luxury: it improves body image, psychosocial well-being and the ability to dress normally. And something practical: we prepare your medical file in the format insurers usually request, with a letter of medical necessity, clinical photographs, examination report, labs and pathology reports, and we guide you on how to submit it. We are a direct-pay center: we do not bill or manage the process with your insurer, but we give you everything you need to do it. In contracted scars, mobility is regained, and in symptomatic keloids, pain and itching are relieved. In biopolymers, the benefit is high and very concrete: relief of chronic pain, control of inflammation and recurrent infections, and getting life back after years of not knowing where to turn.
Myth vs reality
Myth
“Biopolymers can be removed completely.”
Reality
no. The material is not encapsulated, it infiltrates between tissues and migrates, which is why removing all of it is not possible without sacrificing healthy tissue. What can be done is removing most of it, treating the damaged tissue, controlling inflammation and reconstructing the contour. We prefer to tell you this from the first consultation, even when it is not what you want to hear.
