Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Im booked with Dr. Saucedo in Monterrey in November! So excited! I comparison shopped around san antonio and couldnt find another surgeon with as much experience and his price is all inclusive, with hotel, hospital and all. Its about 4k dollars cheaper than here and these docs here do not have a lot of experience with massive weight loss patients. I cant wait to see my results! I will post pics when I get back in December!

Is he in Monterrey Ca? I was just curious I live in San Antonio but my whole family lives in Cali and I was wondering if plastics was cheaper there ?

That is for the post fellow docs. You have to ask for the plastics "clinic" on the 9th floor. Whole different fee base

Oh my God! I am so excited about this! My husband is from New York City and his family is still there! If this works ( please God let this work!) I know I will need everything done....I mean, I already need everything done and I haven't gotten the sleeve yet! But this gives me hope. I've been so worried about how we would pay for plastic surgery. After I poked around the internet it looked like it would be $30000-40,000. I'd need a breast lift and implants, the the arm bat wings, tummy tuck/lower body lift and a thigh lift.We are going to NYC for Christmas and maybe will visit the hospital and check it out! Thank you so much for sharing this info. :)

I'm sure the reference is to the Monterrey, Mexico. Pretty much directly south of you.

How much was the cost for all that?

It varies from patient to patient and if you go second time, she discounts it. I think its about $5000 for tt and Lipo and bbl. I have a cute bootie now :). Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com. She is getting busy as she is becoming popular.

How long was your recovery? Does the dr have a recovery house?

I had my first surgery here in Canada and hated my results and it was expensive, each Lipo area 3000, I had tt and lipo to flanks. I went to Dr Cardenas in Mexico 4 years later and for 3500 I had lipo 10 litres of fat, had my scar lowered, dog ears removed and bbl. She lipoed my arms, thighs, all of my back and my front. My MR was not done properly first time around. I went back this march and had completely redone my tt, thigh lift and arm lift, back skin removed for 6000.00. I am very pleased. My breasts were large and that I had done locally and it was covered. My first recovery in TJ was one week, second one was 2 weeks, I stayed at their recovery house at additional cost. My hubby did not want me to be home to recover because they took very good care of me there. 24 hour nursing, all meals prepared, healthy, tv, phone, hospital beds, laundry and sheets done every day, dr visit every day. I would not have it any other way.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
