Get botox while I'm in mexico for sleeve surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering after I get my sleeve surgery is there anyway I can get Botox or fillers on my face? I really need fillers under my eyes because eye bags are horrible and I'm sure it would be cheaper there.

I got Botox and was extremely pleased. My Cordinator took my daughter and me one day.. I don't know how to recommend anyone because it was a dr friend of hers.

I have had my teeth whitened in TJ. You will spend 1/3 of the cost. Here in the states I was quoted $550. In TJ at Dent-Art I paid about $150

They will pick you up in their shuttle and drive you to their facility. I would definitely use them again.

For botox and fillers, my girlfriend who lives in San Diego has used both Dr Juan Carlos Fuentes and Dr Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center. I have no clue what she pays, but she loves the results

Botox is FUN. I wouldn't pair it with major surgery though.

Honestly, I don't have one certain reason, I just wouldn't. It's just adding another factor... one more thing to heal up from I guess.

Oh ok.. Ya skeered me there! It definitely won't work for those who have a rough recovery, I guess. From what I read there are quite a few who are feeling awful and would not even be able to make it around TJ let alone off to another dr appt.

I feel VERY fortunate

When I call to schedule my surgery I will ask and see. If they could do it in the same hospital that would be awesome.

My dermatologist in the states Dr Kim here in Tacoma would disagree with you on that.

I would rather combine what I can while I'm down there because I don't plan on going back so since its cheaper for fillers etc. down there then I want to go ahead and get it all at one time.

When you can get away with spending $299 on botox versus $700 like I have spent in the past?

My answer is YES.

By the way...you should also look into Botox in your armpits. I have had it done for the past two years for excessive sweating and it has been a saving grace. No more ruining shirts

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
