Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Im booked with Dr. Saucedo in Monterrey in November! So excited! I comparison shopped around san antonio and couldnt find another surgeon with as much experience and his price is all inclusive, with hotel, hospital and all. Its about 4k dollars cheaper than here and these docs here do not have a lot of experience with massive weight loss patients. I cant wait to see my results! I will post pics when I get back in December!

Is he in Monterrey Ca? I was just curious I live in San Antonio but my whole family lives in Cali and I was wondering if plastics was cheaper there ?

That is for the post fellow docs. You have to ask for the plastics "clinic" on the 9th floor. Whole different fee base

Oh my God! I am so excited about this! My husband is from New York City and his family is still there! If this works ( please God let this work!) I know I will need everything done....I mean, I already need everything done and I haven't gotten the sleeve yet! But this gives me hope. I've been so worried about how we would pay for plastic surgery. After I poked around the internet it looked like it would be $30000-40,000. I'd need a breast lift and implants, the the arm bat wings, tummy tuck/lower body lift and a thigh lift.We are going to NYC for Christmas and maybe will visit the hospital and check it out! Thank you so much for sharing this info. :)

I'm sure the reference is to the Monterrey, Mexico. Pretty much directly south of you.

How much was the cost for all that?

It varies from patient to patient and if you go second time, she discounts it. I think its about $5000 for tt and Lipo and bbl. I have a cute bootie now :). Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com. She is getting busy as she is becoming popular.

How long was your recovery? Does the dr have a recovery house?

I had my first surgery here in Canada and hated my results and it was expensive, each Lipo area 3000, I had tt and lipo to flanks. I went to Dr Cardenas in Mexico 4 years later and for 3500 I had lipo 10 litres of fat, had my scar lowered, dog ears removed and bbl. She lipoed my arms, thighs, all of my back and my front. My MR was not done properly first time around. I went back this march and had completely redone my tt, thigh lift and arm lift, back skin removed for 6000.00. I am very pleased. My breasts were large and that I had done locally and it was covered. My first recovery in TJ was one week, second one was 2 weeks, I stayed at their recovery house at additional cost. My hubby did not want me to be home to recover because they took very good care of me there. 24 hour nursing, all meals prepared, healthy, tv, phone, hospital beds, laundry and sheets done every day, dr visit every day. I would not have it any other way.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
