Recovery in Cabo
Recovering from plastic surgery in Cabo San Lucas
This is a different kind of trip. Facelift patients enjoy Cabo before surgery. Afterwards you stay out of the sun and heat, mostly indoors for the first five days, and then most patients are out to dinner. No beach, no ocean, until the doctor clears it.
Breast procedures are shorter. Lifts and reductions may have drains for about two days; most patients are out for dinner within days.
The second trip is the Cabo adventure. This one is for you.
