Just wondering, if you got your surgery in a different country, or even a different state, where do you get your aftercare? I am having my surgery in Mexico and I am planning to go back for fills, but I am wondering if I will need another doc in my hometown for check-ups right after surgery. I will be going back to TJ a couple months after surgery for a fill, but wondering if I will need to see a doctor prior to that to check on the stitches or anything.

The Cardinal rule is who ever does your surgery,,, thats who you go back too.

Check around in your City, and Neighboring Areas.

Go to Fill Center USA It will ask for your zip code, and search for a fill center near you.

As far as the stitches go ? you need to find a clinic that will accept you, after some one else's work..

Good Luck ! Shirley.

I don't think that is a cardinal rule by any means. I do think that you might have trouble finding someone to do your fills having had your surgery in Mexico so it is a good thing you can go back for fills but I would suggest developing a resource if you need an emergency unfill or slight unfill. I am sure a primary care physician would take a look at your stitches if need be.
