PS pics: arms, tt, bl, ba, butt lift, and lipo, 6 weeks out!



Recommended Posts

Hey all, had plastic surgery in Monterrey Mexico in March with Dr. Sauceda. I am now 6 weeks post op from brachioplasty, breast lift, breast augmentation with silicone implants, Tummy Tuck, Lipo of top part of tummy and back and brazilian butt lift with lipoed fat injected in rear to "plump" it!

YOu are welcome to view my before/after pics and pictures through this process over the last 6 weeks. I still have some swelling in the tummy, but the rest is mostly all gone. I also posted my surgery blog, my personal story, and a good links section. Hubby was kind enough to do the website for me!!

You can view it at: My Mexico Plastic Surgery Journey!

Thanks!!

Misty

Oh, and since I know this will come up, it cost me $12,000 for all my procedures including my airfare and 10 nights hotel, 2 nights in the hospital, all my hospital and surgery fees, and after care garments.

I was quoted in Dallas for $27000. The other Plastic surgeons I talked too thought I was nuts to do all of that at once. I am in excellent health with no comorbodities, fairly young so I wasn't afraid of doing it all at once. I had no complications and would go back to Monterrey and Dr. Sauceda to do it again in a heartbeat!!

I have to be honest, the first 2 days were bad but after that it really wasn't painful. Pain is mostly a mind-construct, so there are beneficial cognitive ways of dealing with it. Maybe I am just different but I don't really feel that things were bad. I was back at school the following week when I got back from Mexico.

      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.
