Has any one had cosmetic surgery in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I know there are people who have and had a great experience. I had mine in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Saldona it was great, professional and no pain, I had breast lift and implants. I am thinking about TTuck with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey only because its way closer for me I am in north Texas. The lift and implants was nothing (and I was cut and sewn you would think that would hurt but no) the Lipo sucked it was painful I will not get lipo because of the pain yuck.

How much was the cost for the lift and implants? Does that include your flight and stay? How long was post op stay?

I went to Dr Victor Gutierrez in Tijuana. I had a lower body lift, breast and butt lift. He is great! You can look at his web site or call to get more information about him. My experience was outstanding! My cost did not include air fare. Post op, I stayed 7 days in the recovery clinic with 24 nurse care.

I am going to Dr Sauceda next week! More info to follow...

I think there are a number of good surgeons to choose from Mexico, Columbia, Costa Rico. I guess my final reason for choosing Dr S is that his patients really feel cared for by him and his staff. I value that highly. I will be down there for 12 days since i am doing several procedures at once.

In the USA, they were gonna send me home the same day as the surgery and i just never could get comfortable with that.

I totally understand about not being sent home the same day. That is crazy to me too! I totally agree with choosing a surgeon in a different country.

I know you are getting excited! Your surgery is only days away!!!! Please keep us updated. I am very excited for you!!!

      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.

      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.
