The procedure and recovery
Whether you choose implants or fat transfer, recovery follows a similar and safe process, personally guided by Dr. López.
01
Personalized Planning
Every trip begins with a consultation. Dr. López reviews your goals and anatomy to design a plan that works for you.
02
The surgical procedure
It is performed under general anesthesia in a certified hospital. The approach depends on the technique you choose: implants or fat grafting.

Early days
You'll be wearing a compression bra. Swelling, stiffness, or bruising are normal and go away within the first week.
04
Follow-ups and aftercare
Most return to daily life in 5 to 7 days. Dr. López reviews the incisions, oversees healing, and adjusts your care as needed.
05
Final results
The form stabilizes for 2 to 3 months. The implants are softened until they are in place, or the fat grafts are stabilized for long-term volume.
Benefits of plastic surgery in Mexico with Dr. César López
Undergoing plastic surgery with Dr. César López means more than refining a characteristic: it's about restoring balance, regaining confidence and achieving results as good as they look. Each procedure is designed not only to improve specific areas of the face or body, but also to improve overall harmony, comfort and well-being.
A More Proportional and Defined Silhouette
Dr. López uses liposuction and body contouring to refine specific areas without overcorrecting. The result is a natural-looking transformation that enhances your unique shape — not someone else’s ideal.
Health-related improvements
Removing stubborn fat deposits doesn’t just change how you look. It can reduce strain on the lower back, improve insulin sensitivity, and help decrease cardiovascular risk — benefits that extend well beyond aesthetics.
Less Downtime, Faster Recovery
Thanks to small incisions, minimal tissue trauma, and Dr. López’s meticulous surgical planning, most patients return to work and normal life within a week. Scars are discreet and strategically placed to fade into the background.
Psychological and Emotional Benefits
Whether it’s slipping into a fitted dress or simply feeling comfortable in your own skin, the emotional lift after surgery can be profound. Dr. López has seen firsthand how physical harmony can translate into renewed self-esteem and a more positive outlook.
