May 22, 201313 yr In the states. I'd never go to Mexico for anything I go where the best and most experienced surgeons are... And that means I trust my MX dr over many in the states. But I never say to anyone that I would not go to a specific place because of hear-say. That's a bit naive.
May 23, 201313 yr Author Mexico is something I don't want. I want something in my own state and in my town if I can where my family can be by my side. I don't want to take a plane anywhere and I've had friends get breast implants in Mexico and didn't like it. Ill pay more to stay put.

I went to Mexico and had the gastric sleeve done my doctor worked for the San Diego hospital but also was a surgeon at the hospital Angeles. My surgery was on October 12, 2012 And i have lost year to date is 104 pounds. I had no insurance so I paid cash and I thank my dr on a weekly basis for what he has done to improve my health. Dr huacuz is amazing.
May 25, 201313 yr Google plastic surgeons in what ever state your in and thats how you will find out. Some have free consultations and before and after pics online.
May 26, 201313 yr I just scheduled my breast lift/reduction for July 1st (woo hoo!). I am using a local plastic surgeon (I live in the Seattle area). It will cost $6,250. I also got quotes for a neck lift and tummy tuck and those procedures each run between $6K and $6.5K. I am planning to do two surgeries this year (breast lift/reduction and then at the holidays a lower body lift); next year I'm going for a neck lift and the arms. Altogether I figure I'm going to pay enough on plastics buy a car! LOL. I'm seriously thinking of going to Mexico for at least one of the procedures ... I had my sleeve done in Mexico and know I can receive outstanding care there, with the right surgeon, and it's true you can save at least 30% compared to US prices.
May 26, 201313 yr I just got a quote from a plastic surgeon that my VSG surgeon recommended. Basically the quote was $10K for the breast lift and about $12K for the tummy tuck.

I do not have much to do. If anything a TT, but I want to get a consult to see if it is even necessary or if it will just go away with enough core strength training.

Hi, I am using Dr. Kierney who is based in Puyallup (near Tacoma, in case you're on the north end of Seattle and not sure where Puyallup is!). Here is a link to his website. http://washingtoncosmeticsurgeon.com/ I found him through Angie's List (he was very highly rated) and I liked the consult he gave; he made me feel at ease (trust me, NOT easy to do when you have to take off nearly all your clothes in front of a total stranger!). I thought his prices were reasonable. I got to see lots of before and after photos of procedures he's done and am comfortable he will do good work on me. He spent a good hour with me and told me exactly what the risks/benefits/likely outcomes would be. Also, he was very very low pressure. I liked that a lot.

Appreciate it! I am on the North side of Seattle in Lake Stevens / Everett area, but am open to anything down to Tacoma. What would dr kier et charge for a Tummy Tuck. My extra tummy is pretty small, but still noticeable. It would be a perfect package if I did not have the little lip below my stomach, that it was perfectly smooth. I also am looking at Dr Robert Grenley with Seattle Plastic Surgery based on a google search: http://www.seattleplasticsurgery.com/ I have NO IDEA how to find a qualified doctor for TT short of going on the recommendations of others. I originally picked Seattle Swedish for VSG based on a recommendation from a family member who was banded by them. They have been nothing short of a really excellent experience from pre op through current post op.
May 27, 201313 yr Fiddleman- At Tuesdays support meeting at Swedish they are having a plastic surgeon speak. I'm not sure what his name is but I'm sure it is on there web site. He will also be there for the July Saturday meeting. Sent from my iPhone using VST
How much can they cost?
