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?

  • If you do not want to go to Mexico, 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 surger

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

I heard of Dr Bello, was she is DR?

HI,

Yes i am having everything done at the same time. Dr. Bello ;likes you to stay in the hospital instead of a hotel, like alot of other doctors. I will be in the hospital for seven days. So i will fly home on November 19th.

You all are so brave! I wish I had the courage. I probably will have no choice but to go to mexico! Do they take care credit? I need fat transfer into butt and thigh lift...just went for a consultation and dr. Said these should be separate surgeries.

How did you get in contact with Dr. Bello? I tried doing some Internet research and didn't come up with much.

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']

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.

I am going to TJ and I am having Breast lift w/implants and lipo 4500

Please keep us updated on how things go. Very interested!

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.

How does everyone afford these surgeries? Seriously, I'd like to know because I'm sure I'll have to have something done eventually. Best of luck to all!
