Would love to hear stories from those who have had complete lower body lift. I am 2 years since getting the band, down 60 wish it was more but my weight is really stable.

Work out with trainer 3 times a week and 1 time myself. I have talked to a number of Plastic surgeons, One in particular has done a lot of these procedures and when I later asked by DR. who they would recommend. My meeting with each was good and they all told me that their was not too much fat in the area but a lot of skin and no amount of exercise would help. I know that it is big surgery and a long recovery just want to hear from some of you that have done this and how you feel now. The cost was not as bad as I had thought about $11,000. It was $8000 for a tummy tuck but the dr did not think I would be pleased as my flank area is something that bothers me an would not be addressed with just the tummy tuck.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you, especially any guys.

Thanks

ROSS

Ross i am in Tijuana right now recovering from lower body lift and brachioplasty. I am 14mo post band have lost 130lbs and it hasnt been bad. I did alot of research on internet and saw 3 different plastic surgeons. The pain is not bad and even at 6 days post op the results are amazing!.. The cost was about $4,000 for the lower body lift and I am staying at a recovery house which is a god send. For $120 a day they feed you, change your dressings and everything. I chose Mexico for the cost and I dont have any family to help with the post op care. Dr Quiroz in Tijuana in certified in mexico and USA. I would ask your surgeon about lipo in those areas. Even though lipo leaves alot of bruises there isnt any post op pain. good luck with your journey. I am really glad i did it.

Thanks, I meet with 2 dr and on office staff, The Dr. I decided to go with was one that later my Band Dr. said was the one he would recommend and did a lot of work with Weight Loss People. He also did one of the biggest looser winners. I have another meeting with him and will bring my wife this time to make sure she is on board. I have a date in November which works best for our scheduled in fact on my birthday. Would like to loose another 10 or 15 lbs by than. I am down 60 lbs from my band and about 100 from my highest. He plans to do some lypo also and also reduce the pubic area which has lot of fat. Cost is $11,000 which includes the garments and all follow up etc. Was not as bad as I thought. He gave me prices for tummy tuck also but really did not think I would be happy as one of the areas that bothers me is my flanks which are not really addressed in a tummy tuck. I due question if this is just vanity as I am 50and have been fat most of my life. Glad to hear you are doing welll. And the price in Mexico certainly seems attractive. Please keep me advised of your progress

I was just curious, but how long do you have to stay there for recovery, and how did you start the hole process. Did you have to go there for more than one trip? Sorry for all the questions, but that is a really great price and seems a good way to go. Keep us up to date on how your doing. Good luck!

thank you so much for this post....I just started researching for plastic surgery and I believe I will also need a lower body lift...most concern, my thighs, tummy and butt. I also found dr quiroz and started researching him. He is my likely candidate for this procedure. I won't be able to do the procedure until next June. I received an email from Joyce today, but I think it is too soon for pics...as I want to be 2 years post op. I have lost 85 lbs and I am praying more will come off...nothing in 6 weeks!! But I was curious how much body lift was with Quiroz...thanks for the info!! I am ready to go now...lol

I don't know if you are still interested in this doctor....but just google him, His website I believe is COSMEDCLINIC.COM They can perform a virtual online consultation....they also pick you up at San Diego airport, so there is no problems crossing the border.

Every time I here of People leaving the U.S fou cosmetic surgery, I think of Usher, the singer's wife almost dying in Brazil while getting liposuction. This can happen anywhere, and I know that alot of people chose to go outside the U.S. because it's cheaper, but I'm so afraid to. I'll have to wait doubly long to save double the money, cause I know I'm gonna need a tummy tuck. Would love a full body lift, but I'm so afraid of them. I here it's the most complex and the most dangerous of all cosmetic surgeries. Half of people who undergo the procedure have some sort of a complication. I'm just a little too scary for that.

I am scheduled for November 8th and along with getting the arms done it's costing me 10 G's. And honestly I think this is a pretty good price, but I understand those that go outside of the U.S and I'm sure that there are many safe and clean choices you just have to do your homework and try and get recommendations. I'm scared and excited but I know that I cannot wait to wear cotton panties again and maybe even a sleeveless dress!!
