?US or abroad and what doctor?



Recommended Posts

what country will have your cosmetic surgery? do you already know what doctor?

I will have it in the US if the price is reasonable, and I do know of a good PS here in Las Vegas. If I can't afford it here, will go to Mexicali and have it done by the PS there. However, that is a long way off for me I think.

i had some work done before i had my sleeve rhinoplasty, blephplasty, and some lipo., And i went to argentina to get it done. at the time i went through a company called plentas (they changed their name to worthy med now) and they charged me an arm and a leg. But a couple weeks ago i tracked down the doctor who did my surgery last year and pay through him with no middle man and it was MUCH MUCH MUCH less. so i'm gonna wait till i get to or near my goal weight and i'm going back to argentina for a Tummy Tuck and thigh lift. But you might wanna consider the plane ticket from ny/nj is about $1000 and you have to find your own place to stay for 2-4weeks and then price of food. So all of that adds up but i think it's still a decent price for going to a place that know more what they're doing (next to brazil, argentina is the second biggest cosmetic surgery capital of the world) and a place that i'm familiar with and a doctor i'm familiar with. To tell you the truth idk if i am interested in ever going back to mexico for surgery again. The only other places iwould consider is India, Asia, brazil.

I had a major breast reduction and Lipo to waist, abs, sides of breasts, inner and outer thighs, inner knees in Costa Rica with the Rosenstock Group. I paid $7000 for all of it and got world-class care.

I had a consul after losing all my weight with lapband and I was quoted $8500 for body lift, boob lift and implants by Dr campos -leon Tj mexico.

I have had numerous friends use him. Great care.

I had a Tummy Tuck at UCLA and received great care. They are expensive though. Even though I had a really good experience in Mexico, I just don't know that I would want to go back for surgery again. It just was stressfull to me being that far away from home. It was mentally taxing. The only thing I could see myself wanting after surgery is some boobs if mine end up like flap jacks and I am pretty certain they just might.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
