Has Anyone Got Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Thank you to all who answered to my post' date=' however not to my question.

I am wanting to talk to those who DID chose to go to Mexico or abroad for cosmetic surgery.

I trust other country's doctors and I really don't like the slander on Mexican doctors. Some are genius just like some in the USA are too. That is why for my breasts I would only see dr Robert Rey (usa doc)and not other surgeons in the USA because he is amazing in breasts and does them in Beverly hills all the time.

Again I thank you guys for your posts but I DO want to go abroad for my plastic surgery.

Thanks

Not sure how to comment on the forum. But I wanted to share that I went to Puerto Vallarta for my RNY. I was scared out of my mind. But I was greatly surprised of the care I received and the quality of the hospital and the Drs care and empathy for his patients. The cost was significantly cheaper and my insurance would not cover my surgery. I paid $8500 for my surgery including hospital fees. I had additional cost for airfare, hotel (5 days required at hospital but they want you there for at least 10 days to remove drains). I plan on going back for plastics when it's time.

Thank you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> do you have any suggestions on a plastic surgeon ?

I'm working on finding one. I know there is a surgeon who practices at the same hospital I went to and I met a lady who was down there having a Tummy Tuck. She owns a business called Beat The Odds Permanent Weight Loss, she brings patients from Canada down to Puerto Vallarta for Bariatric surgery but she also is in the works of setting up plastics down there too. Look her up on fb or web. Her name is Pam Reiland, she is a very nice supportive lady. Good Luck!

A friend of mine had the band done in Mexico and was very successful! However she did get sick a lot. She found a fill station in the US for her post op fills. When I was looking into it, I found out that most of the surgeons there (Mexico) taught the surgeons in the US. Keep doing ur research but I hope this helps.

My cousin also did RNY in Mexico, and she had great success. She found a doctor near to do all her follow ups. She just celebrated 1 year. She looks amazing. I don't think I would have had the guts to out of the country.

Go to Obesityhelp and read all the info on Dr. Sauceda...He has a huge following with awesome result/testimonials and patients who are proud to show their pictures of their results there and on FB..they are great for support and give awesome details of what to expect before during and after your procedures...I had a consult with him last year in Las Vegas...His practice is in Monterrey Mexico...for one single procedure done here I can get six done with him for almost the same price...the price includes his clinic stay the hospice/hotel(15-17 days)stay, air fair reimbursement (4 anything over $10,000.), anesthesia, daily nurse visit and care..For my personal procedures he said he would do a total lower body lift, breast lift (w/out implants if I wanted them cost would be $1000, more) arm reduction, leg lift total cost $17,000. With a mini face lift upper body lift at later date for $10,000. I still have about 70lb to lose and to fill up my piggy banks....His wife is his anthestesioligist (sorry about the misspell) and sat in with him on the consult both super sweet people made me comfortable right away...good luck on your journey :)

Just research research research..... Usher's ex-wife had complications during hers in another country and Kanye's mom past as well..... It happens, so all u can do is research and pray. I had Tummy Tuck, Lipo of upper body and thighs in bowie, md for 8k, and this doctor has document he gives you stating any problems with your level of satisfaction, he will fix at no cost to you... He was good!

Good luck. Will pray for your safety...:-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
