Plastic Surgeon, Seattle/bellingham

[WKrueger 0]

Greetings!

I am over 10 years post op. I have lost a total of 130 pounds. Its time for a little upgrade on the body - Tummy Tuck, arms and thighs. I am on Whidbey Island, WA. Is there anyone that has recommendations for doctors in the Seattle or Bellingham area?

Thank you!

You may want to check out Dr Quiroz in Tijuana. You can fly into San Diego, they pick you up at the airport and bring you back. He is board certified in the us and Mexico and does great work for about half the price.

My concern with going to Tijuana is the issue of after care. I do not have insurance so this is all out of pocket. Adding in the air-fare, time there to recover (2 -3 weeks at least) and time off of work (not all of my time off will be covered by sick or vacation time) I think the over all cost would be almost equal and then I wouldn't have a doc near me for any issues that may occur.

I understand your concerns. I had my abdominoplasty here in Houston for the same reasons. Now I wish I would have done it in Mexico because I could have had two procedures for the price of one here. But I just didn't feel comfortable leaving my area. I wanted to recover at home.nim having my breast lift and neck lift there and am looking forward to it. Staying in their recovery boutique for 6 nights. I will actually get more rest there because at home I was constantly popping up to do stuff. It will be a mini vacation. Good luck to you.
