Plastic Surgery in Tijuana after the sleeve?

[Cody's mom 247]

Has anyone gone back to Tijuana and had plastic surgery after a successful weightloss, and who did you use and recommend?

I think the cost in mexico is more expensive or the same cost as us

[Cody's mom 247]

From what I've seen so far regarding prices, it's less than half for the surgeries I've researched to go to Mexico, I also trust the surgeons in Tijuana a lot more. I'd like to find someone with knowledge of the surgeons there to find a good one.

It's more expensive in the U.S. Mexico is almost always half the cost of the U.S. In Mexico, you can get a Tummy Tuck for about $4-$5k, plus plane tickets, but in in the U.S. it would cost you about $10k or more after all the add ons are applied. A friend had both a tummy tuck and breast surgery and it cost him about $21k in the U.S. altogether. He could have gotten both for about $8-$10k in Mexico.

My sister in law is having a Tummy Tuck in New Jersey next week

She's getting it for $7500

Will likely be using her same doc if my insurance won't pay.

Why would I ever risk Mexico

Wait until she gets the bill to have the final total. Because I've been quoted prices as low as $3500 in my area but when you ask if there's any add on they always say yes. Just like with the gastric sleeve, in my area I was quoted $11,500 for the procedure. When I asked about any extra fees she said yes and told me that it would be $16-$18k altogether.

Funny, I don't find Tijuana a risk, but more highly trained quality surgeons than we have here. I would choose Mexico over anywhere for any surgery or dental work, but I would prefer going to someone that someone else has used. I had a very successful sleeve done in TJ for a very inexpensive price, but price isn't my concern, it's getting quality surgeons, and I know they are in Mexico, much more so than here.

I just had a circular Tummy Tuck and breast implants with Dr. Juan Pablo Cervantes in Tijuana Mexico on 12/8/14. I had an arm lift 9/1/14 with him as well. I've lost 167lbs and had a lot of skin to be removed.

I would recommend Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey, MX. There is a support forum full of his past and future patients on Obesity Help. When you have scheduled surgery, there is a private Facebook group of patients where you connect with others that are having surgery the same time you are.

The patient support and info was a big part of why I went to Dr. Sauceda. I had a lower body lift, butt flap augmentation, arm lift, breast lift/augmentation, and a neck lift. I am extremely happy with my results.

The other benefit is Dr. S has the best and most gentle nurse in the world that helps you in the hotel after you get out of the hospital.

Here are some pics from 5 months post-op. I'm 49 yrs old. Highest weight 273. Current weight 174.

I appreciate all the info people post about docs and procedures. I had the sleeve in august with Elias Ortiz in Tijuana and it was a great experience. I had almost zero pain and was at sea world with my kids 4 days later. He was great and my scars are barely visible. I would go back to mexico for more just need to know who to go to for plastic surgery. Thanks and sorry to hijack your post
