I have heard plenty of people that are happy with surgery from Mexico, but as a health care professional it scare the daylights out of me. I'm sure the doctors are well trained and qualified, but from what I see on this site, there is very little pre and post surgery care, and it kind of feels like you are just one of hundreds of patients in a week. I like a bit more personalized service, but I am also a bit of a control freak.....

I've heard good and bad. My concern is if you have complications, will you be able to find someone here that's willing to take care of you. Its hard enough if you get a botched surgery here to find someone who is willing to take over your care, it might be harder from abroad. I understand the cost factor, but you have to ask yourself if its really worth the risks.

Hi Myra,

I have heard there a many places Mexico that does good plastics, however, you must do your research. I've also heard that the Dominican Republic has good surgeons too.

I plan to use Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey. Others on this site have used him with excellent results. Check out Cowgirl Jane.

When considering Mexico for PS, remember that there, they keep you close by for up to a week or longer after PS surgery and the doctor visits you daily. In the US, you go home the next day.

Bariatric surgery and plastics are very different from each other in how they are handled in Mexico.

Of course, there is always a chance of complications, regardless of where you go.

I had excellent results with Dr Victor Gutierrez. He also has several wonderful reviews on RealSelf.com

Here are some before and after pictures of my plastic surgery results.

Was this all one surgery? Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you total?

Hi Sandy M,

I had a Mommy Makeover, which consisted of a Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift and a Butt Lift which were done on the same day. The cost of my surgery was reasonable, but the exceptional care that I received from my doctor was priceless. They are very nice and will speak to you directly about procedures or prices. (Smile)

I hope this helps :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
