Dr. Porras: A Caring Surgeon Who Puts Safety First

While many Tijuana plastic surgeons just focus on performing as many procedures as possible for the sake of profit, Dr. Porras always puts patient safety first. High-quality results are important, but safety must always be paramount.

Dr. Porras also values reuniting patients with their loved ones quickly and getting them back to their daily lives as soon as possible. He understands how difficult it can feel being in a different country, not speaking the language, and undergoing something as intimidating as surgery.

Dr. Porras considers it a privilege to provide the physical changes that help women feel truly good about themselves. His transformative procedures have a positive impact on women’s lives, offering them a chance to rebuild, start anew, and reaffirm their belief in themselves.

His patients describe him as a funny, warm, caring, and truly genuine person with an excellent bedside manner. Patients characterize him as an expert surgeon who is highly professional and clearly confident in his craft. They consider him to be a good listener and a great communicator, someone who goes the extra mile to make patients feel comfortable. 

What Made Dr. Porras Choose Plastic Surgery?

Dr. Porras became a plastic surgeon to help women, especially those experiencing the incredibly difficult breast cancer treatment process. Breast cancer can be a fight with death, one that many women are forced to fight alone, without the support of their families.

Earlier in his life, someone very close to him was diagnosed with breast cancer. He saw everything that she went through, the constant struggle, and how after the treatments, she wasn’t the same. The happiness had fled her body.

However, after she found out that breast reconstruction was available, something changed in her. She was able to regain her sense of happiness, joy, and vitality.

After seeing this inspiring journey, Dr. Porras was inspired to become the skilled plastic surgeon he is today. He works hard every day to provide that bridge between patients and their happiness, to restore a sense of normalcy to their lives.

Dr. Porras’s Plastic Surgery Journey

Dr. Porras began his plastic surgery journey at the Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla, where he received his medical degree in 2010. 

He then applied for a general surgery residency at the Hospital Juárez de México, competing with around 100 other applicants for a coveted residency spot. This four-year residency involved writing journal articles and undertaking scientific investigation. Thanks to his studious nature and skills, he became Chief Resident.

After graduating from the program, he studied plastic and reconstructive surgery for four years at the Centro Medico ISSEMYM in Toluca. In 2018, he completed specialized microsurgery training at ABC Medical Center in Mexico City.

Following this, he traveled to Barcelona, Spain, for a year-long aesthetic surgery fellowship at the prestigious Clínica Planas. Their teachers expect only the absolute best from their students, and their patients demand the finest results. They regularly treat celebrities, including the King of Spain himself.

Dr. Porras has undergone specialized training in breast reconstruction, mastopexy surgery, and laparoscopy. He trained with Dr. Matt Stefanelli in order to introduce a technique known as French Butt Reshaping to Mexico. This technique uses ultrasound energy, making it much safer than the Brazilian butt lift.

Dr. Porras enjoys continuing to develop his skills and has attended several symposiums, including Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2018 and 2019, held by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and 46 Simposio Anual Internacional de Cirugia Plástica – Estética 2019.

He is a member of medical societies like the International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), and the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery (AMCPER).

Giving Back

Dr. Porras loves to give back. He frequently volunteers, donating his time and skills to aid those in need. On Hand Surgery Day in 2016, he worked with the Mexican Association of Hand Surgery to help the people of Tapachula. On the Fourth Day of Extramural Hand Surgery in 2019, he volunteered with surgeons to provide hand surgery for the people of Tlaxcala. 

Dr. Porras has shared his vast knowledge at several medical conferences, giving lectures and presentations on breast reconstruction, laparoscopy, and posterior cranial vault expansion. He has written over thirty chapters in books, along with numerous articles for national medical journals.

Dr. Oscar Porras Surgery Center

Dr. Porras initially started his practice in Puebla. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, patients were reluctant to undergo surgeries, so in 2021, his plastic surgery practice moved to Tijuana. There, medical tourism was flourishing, and there was plenty of free time for recovery.

Dr. Porras’s office is located in Tijuana, B.C., in the Zona Urbana Rio. It’s in Circuito in Dist Caracol, at Calle Bursatil #9043. The office is Suite 701 in the F Tower.

Dr. Porras works in a world-class hospital facility with cutting-edge technology. It features two ORs and several recovery rooms, and its bilingual staff is highly trained to ensure that if anything goes wrong, they can resolve it effectively. Dr. Porras prefers this facility because the nurses are fast responders, they take action, and they’re right to the point. There’s always a doctor there, because their shifts are every eight hours.
