Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

How does everyone afford these surgeries? Seriously, I'd like to know because I'm sure I'll have to have something done eventually. Best of luck to all!

I am using my flex spending for $5K of it. I got an intrest free credit card for the other $5K. It is intrest free until the end of 2013...

I didn't think you could use Flex Spending account monies for cosmetic surgery, I was under the impression that tax free money could only be used for what they deem as "medically necessary" procedures. If I'm wrong, or if you have found a way to get around that, please let me know. Maybe it's just my employer's policy that is like that.

I am able to use mine for the Tummy Tuck part. I have been getting skin infections and insurance will not cover it. I fought them and got denied twice.

I hope you are using your $5000 flex spending for this year - because due to ObamaCare - we can only put in $2,500 for flex spending next year.....which sucks. I was hoping to have the $5000 for 2014 to get the breast aug. Now I guess I'll just have to start a little 'booby bank' and save up for it. Since I just had my sleeve 4 weeks ago - I figured I'd give my weight loss a year before I do the plastics....goodness hope I can lose the 60 pds in a year!!

I'm getting sleeved in Mx in March. If the experience is good I will more than likely revisit Mx for the nips and tucks.

It varies from patient to patient and if you go second time' date=' she discounts it. I think its about 5000 for tt and Lipo and bbl. I have a cute bootie now <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />. Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com.

Well Dr. Bello is Mexicali is wonderful!! I could not of had better care and already love my results! I know it will take a while for the final outcome but so pleased already. Never met a better more caring doctor ever! He did Lift w/ augmentation and Tummy Tuck with Lipo. I am still in the hospital and will head home on Tuesday.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
