Foreign Plastic Surgeon Recommendations?

[poohbear1019 31]

Good morning everyone,

I'm a year and a half out from my sleeve. I've lost 250 pounds!! As you can imagine, I have extra skin EVERYWHERE :-( and....unfortunately, I'm not indepently wealthy. Does anyone have some recommendations for solid foreign plastic surgeons? They don't have to only be in Mexico. Or if anyone in a similar experience found someone domestically that was reasonable or was willing to work with you?

Thanks!

I am looking, too! I got sleeved in Mexico and know there are great surgeons there.

Have you tried going through your insurance? Mine covered TT/Panni 100% due to recommendation from pain management for spine problems and it's impact on my ability to exercise in order to keep weight off.

Check the insurance website for criteria for panniculectomy

I went to Dr Sauceda in Mexico. If you search for his name in this forum you will find tons of details. He has a patient forum on obesity help that is very informative. I am very very pleased with the experience and results. I had a boatload done at once... and he specializes in massive weight loss reconstruction. There are other good surgeons too, worth researching enough to get the pros and cons for the different choices. Just be sure you see alot of before and after photos of similiar patients. A mommy makeover for a 30 year old who gained a bit with pregancy is very different than someone who lost 150, 200 or more pounds. I lost over 150 myself.
