The Ultimate Guide to Hip Replacement in Mexico






Introduction


Be free to move again with hip replacements in Mexico. It may be one of the most difficult decisions you’ll ever face, but if pain and immobility is limiting your freedom to do what you want to, we can help you find a surgeon to ease your problems – at affordable prices that cost 50% less than home.

It may be something you have been considering for a while, but the cost at home is just too prohibitive. Mexico offers a viable alternative, saving you tens of thousands of dollars and helping you to regain an active lifestyle.

Sure, Mexico is still a developing nation, and you do need to choose carefully whereabouts in the country you go to. One thing we can say, is that many of the facilities aimed at medical tourists are of a superior standard and quality that compete with the best healthcare services anywhere in the world. This includes the expertise and qualifications of the doctors, the modern facilities and equipment and the commitment to customer care, which, frankly, is sometimes missing at home.

Medical Departures has made it our mission to provide patients with authoritative up-to-date information about clinics and doctors who offer medical services that are of the same, or higher, quality than we would receive at home. To ensure this, we perform a number of background checks, including criminal and legal records, qualifications and professional memberships. Clinic visits and real patient reviews are also included, and taken together these checks give us a good picture of trustworthiness. While no medical procedures can ever be guaranteed completely, at least assessing the reliability of a doctor and clinic before you have any treatment is the best start you can have.

What is the procedure for hip replacement, and how long does it take?


Typically, hip replacements take between one and two hours. The procedure involves replacing the ball and socket of the hip with an artificial one. It may be carried out under a general anesthetic, or with a spinal epidural, which numbs you from the waist down.

What is the recovery time for hip replacement?


As hip replacements are usually carried out in elderly patients, the recovery times may vary. Very often, people have been immobile for some time before they have their hip replacement surgery, which means the muscles will have wasted and so these will need to be strengthened with physiotherapy and/or exercises after surgery.

You will need to be committed to doing the exercises to ensure you get the full benefit of your hip replacement, in as short a time as possible. You will be encouraged to get up as soon as possible after surgery – some people manage to the same day. You will, of course, experience a degree of swelling, bruising and discomfort, but the initial pain should be taken care of by pain-relief medication.

Using walking aids, such as crutches, sticks or frames, will initially help you to be mobile, but, if you keep up with your exercises you should be able to return to your normal activities, pain-free, in 2 – 3 months. It could be up to a year before you will see the full benefits of your hip replacement.

Leyla Arvas is a sweetheart... I follow her and her clinic on Instagram as well... I think both the cleanliness and hygiene of the clinic and the friendliness, charm and beauty of Ms. Leyla Arvas are enough to explain and understand everything... I give it a ten out of ten ????

When I first came for ice epilation, I had question marks. As said, it is a painless application. It brings the solution. Thank you.

I get laser epilation service from here. My skin is very sensitive. That's why I receive service from experts in a polyclinic environment, with the best devices. Mr. Alihan did his job meticulously since the first session. The sessions progress very quickly with his respectful and level-headed conversation. He is very careful about hygiene. I go to my sessions with peace of mind in the pandemic environment. Thank you Mr. Alihan and Quartz family.

Attention is top notch, and always a friendly welcome. I don't even want to say that my messages will be answered instantly.... I am a working mother... that appointment changes ten times, but my WhatsApp messages are still answered with the same interest and compassion (extra thx Gözde)?✌?

We have been attending the quartz clinic with my wife for a while. They do their job professionally with sincerity, keeping patient satisfaction at the forefront. We were examined personally by Ms. Leyla and we continue our procedures with her approval. We would like to personally thank Ms. Nil who accompanied us during this process ☺️
