I'm looking to have my plastic surgery done. Has anyone used Dr. Luis Suarez Avalos is a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon? and what does it mean to be a member of Amercian Society of Plastic Surgeons?

  • Mexican Board of Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeons
  • Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeons in Mexico City.
  • Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeons in Baja California.
  • Mexican Board of General surgery in Mexico.
Thanks Everyone~!

I don't know anything about Dr. Avalos. I can only talk about my own plastic surgery experience. I had an extended Tummy Tuck, breast lift w/ augmentation, and Lipo sculpting with Dr. Carmina Cardenas in August of 2011 and it was a fantastic experience all around. Dr. Cardenas is an amazing person. I felt so cared for and taken care of. I had to be in Tijuana for 14 days because I had so much done at once and she came to check on me at the recovery house every single day (except one when she had to go out of town). She even followed up with me for MONTHS via email after I came home. After I am sleeved and re-lose all the weight I've gained since my tummy tuck, I will 100% be going back to Dr. Cardenas if I need an revisions or additional work (considering a thigh lift).

I just recently had arm lift surgery in Tijuana, Mexico with awesome results. I used a board certified plastic surgeon as well. Arms Lift surgery is not easy, and extra care must be taken durning this particular procedure, and especially durning the sewing. Sutures must be perfect to obtain the best results. I have more updated arm pictures on page 4 in this thread.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
