Just curious-- I'm a long way from that point but I was just wondering. I would not want to travel quickly after a major plastic surgery such as breast lift/implant and arm skin removal. I would think you should stay 2 weeks?

I would think that your Dr's office could answer that question.. My surgeon shares his practice with a Plastic surgeon and they partner with the Marriott in Tijuana to provide lodging. I think a week would be good for anything other than a tummy tuck, lower body lift etc... I do know that the drains have to be in longer as well when you have plastics.... Good questions though....

Good Luck!

It depends on the doctor..One doctor in Monteray keeps you for 12 days - 2 in hospital and 10 in hotel. The doctor I am using keeps you 7 days all in the hospital. The hotels there are pretty cheap. The one in Monteray was a Hampton Inn and was only $65 a night. Most of the doctors put the cost into the cost of surgery. It is a package deal. I hope this helps!

This is for TT, Lipo, Breast lift and augmentation

I stayed five nights in the clinic and seven nights at the Hampton Inn. Dr. Sauceda included it in the cost of my surgery. The Hampton is now around $88 a night including tax. I just booked it for a friend.

I've been looking around and have found a couple of places. One in Costa Rica and the other in Dominican Republic. They advertise a "recovery house" hotel, with nurses, meals, etc.

I know I already responded to this. Hmmmm, well here goes again.

My coordinator told me if I wanted an extended stay my surgeon woul be willing to foot he bill for 1 extra night, after that she would arrange for me to get their discounted rate.

I stayed at he Lucerna, their posted nightly rate was $160 - $200/night, and I would have paid & $75/night with their discount.

The coordinator for Dr. Ponce told my friend the same thing. I booked the Lucerna myself for the same rate that the coordinator told us. Just google it.
