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?

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.

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 ?

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

I'm interested in this too... I'm researching PS right now and haven't picked a Dr yet

I'm going to TJ Mexico for the mommy makeover Sept 10th

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?

Did you do it all at once- and how long we're you there?

Congrats

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.

That's so great!!!

Thank you for sharing!

I too am headed to Tj for my reconstruction after I am done losing-

So encouraging!!!

Anyone needs any guidance in healing please ask away. I have been through it all

How bad is the pain? I am thinking tummy tuck and I need old implants taken out new ones in and a lift kit? Do you think that's a week?

I think with a tt you need at least 10 days.
