Has any one had cosmetic surgery in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I know there are people who have and had a great experience. I had mine in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Saldona it was great, professional and no pain, I had breast lift and implants. I am thinking about TTuck with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey only because its way closer for me I am in north Texas. The lift and implants was nothing (and I was cut and sewn you would think that would hurt but no) the Lipo sucked it was painful I will not get lipo because of the pain yuck.

How much was the cost for the lift and implants? Does that include your flight and stay? How long was post op stay?

I went to Dr Victor Gutierrez in Tijuana. I had a lower body lift, breast and butt lift. He is great! You can look at his web site or call to get more information about him. My experience was outstanding! My cost did not include air fare. Post op, I stayed 7 days in the recovery clinic with 24 nurse care.

I am going to Dr Sauceda next week! More info to follow...

I think there are a number of good surgeons to choose from Mexico, Columbia, Costa Rico. I guess my final reason for choosing Dr S is that his patients really feel cared for by him and his staff. I value that highly. I will be down there for 12 days since i am doing several procedures at once.

In the USA, they were gonna send me home the same day as the surgery and i just never could get comfortable with that.

I totally understand about not being sent home the same day. That is crazy to me too! I totally agree with choosing a surgeon in a different country.

I know you are getting excited! Your surgery is only days away!!!! Please keep us updated. I am very excited for you!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
