Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Bello was not the cheapest nor was he the most expensive. I trust Dr. Aceves and this is the doctor he recommends so that is good for me. I will make sure I let you all know how it goes!

Hi,

I went through Nina with Dr. Aceves. He just called me and we talked and talked. I sent him pictures and he called me back again to discuss. Let me know if you need her email or i also have Dr. Bellos too. They gave me emails of past patients and I emailed them. They were wonderful and love the treatment and outcome of their surgeries.

If you do not want to go to Mexico' date=' New York Eye and Ear hospital in Manhattan, is a world renowned for it's head and neck plastics, developed a cosmetic surgery fellowship that offers low cost surgery 3000-4000 per procedure. The surgeons are all board certified, have already done a plastics fellowship and have decided to super specialize in cosmetics. i had a breast lift for 3000 and a lower body lift (Full circumferance zipper) AND a Tummy Tuck for 3000. I did this after a big weight loss (that failed a year later) and although I have gained the weight back, I don't have saggy boobs or an apron. They did a phenomenal job.[/quote']

Please send me the info

Tell me about your cosmetic surgery; did you get it done in the US or Mexico? Did insurance cover if in the US? If so ; on what grounds?

And are you satisfied with the results?

I had my surgery in Acuna, Mexico. After crossing the border the hospital is just a few blocks. My doctor had performed SURGERY on my cousin who also had no complications & has done very well. He knows of others tht used same doctor w no complications. Its a private hosp owned by some doctors. My doctors name was Dr. Luis Alberto Cruz Gandara, he went by Dr. cruz. There is a plastic surgeon that is a doctor in this hosp. (sry I cant think of his name) he said he ws very good.

If you're interest I can give you his number & you can tell him I recomended. Just let me know.

So did you fly into Mexico for the surgery or fly into California and drive over the border? I think I am the most nervous about flying to Mexico than anything else. I would rather fly to another state and then cross the border by car. Did they provide the transportation?

Thanks!

I live in Texas & its about a 6-7 hour drive. So we drove in. Its real close to Del Rio so we stayed 1 night there & drove in for surgery.

S.O.P. for TJ. surgeries is a driver picks you up @ San Diego airport. And they drop you back there before your return flight.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
