Post-Surgery Recovery in Monterrey for Texas Patients
If you live in Texas and are planning plastic or cosmetic surgery in Monterrey, you are closer than most patients: a short flight from Houston or Dallas, or a drive from San Antonio or the Rio Grande Valley.
That closeness changes how you plan your recovery. Recovery Suites coordinates your recovery stay, transportation and support in Monterrey so you can focus on healing, whether you arrive by plane or by car.
Why Monterrey Works Well for Texas Patients
For patients from Texas, Monterrey has practical advantages:
Close enough to drive from South Texas, with a companion at the wheel
Same time as most of Texas in winter, one hour behind in summer
Easier for family to visit or join you for the trip home
Being close does not make recovery simple. Planning where and how you will recover is just as important as choosing your surgeon.
What We Coordinate for You
Recovery Suites is led by surgical nurse Susana Román, who has spent years caring for patients after surgery.
Before you leave Texas, we coordinate:
Accommodations chosen for limited mobility
Meals planned for post-operative recovery
Help with showering, moving and daily tasks
Bilingual transportation between the airport, clinic and your accommodations
Post-operative therapies
A stay planned around your follow-up appointments
You arrive to a plan that is already in place, not to a hotel room you have to figure out on your own.
Getting From Texas to Monterrey
Approximate travel times from the main Texas cities:
Houston
About 1 h 30 min direct flight
Dallas–Fort Worth
About 2 h direct flight
San Antonio
About 5 hours by car via Laredo
Austin
6 to 7 hours by car, or a connecting flight
Rio Grande Valley
About 3 hours by car from McAllen
Times exclude the border crossing. Confirm flights with your airline. If you drive, your surgeon will tell you when you can drive again; until then, someone else should take the wheel.
What Texas Patients Often Tell Us
They often say things like:
“I was nervous about recovering in another country, but you made me feel safe.”
“The short flight from Texas and your support made this decision easier.”
“I couldn't have done this alone in a hotel.”
Those words are the reason this space exists.
