I had my sleeve at OCC in TJ MXN, and was wondering if anyone had plastics there, or the Ariel center I think is what it's called.

I had plastic surgery in Tijuana, Mexico and had fantastic results. There are so many plastic surgeons in Tijuana, one must do a lot if research before making a final decision. It is good that you are asking about this place, because you always want to get positive reviews, and results of before and after pictures of the doctors work. After tons of research I chose Dr Victor Gutierrez. You have some doctors there that only care about a quick dollar, but others really take time with their patients and really care deeply about their patients results. That is the kind of doctor I had. I wish you tremendous success in your search. Smile.

Sweet Pea,

Just curious but how much weight did you lose after getting rid of the extra skin?

Sweet Pea, Just curious but how much weight did you lose after getting rid of the extra skin?

That is a tricky question. Smile

The reason I say that is because some of my skin that was taken off durning my lower body lift was used for my butt lift to give me more volume. I was 142lbs before surgery. 3 weeks after surgery, I was 131lbs. That was due to not having a big appetite, a tiny tummy from my WLS and the compression garment. Also a lot of my swelling went down as well. Durning that early recovery period, I was trying to eat as much as possible which helps the body to heal, and is not the time to be loosing weight, but I know I lost a pound or two. My before and after pictures shows I had quite a bit of skin that was removed.

Sweet Pee,

How many different surgeries did you have to get these results?

Sweet pea you look amazing! I feel like my body is super soft and saggy but overall it doesn't look hangy but it's not firm. Great job on your makeover.

Sweet Pee, How many different surgeries did you have to get these results?

I had a breast lift without implants, a lower body lift and a butt lift. I am very please and happy with my results.

Sweet Pee,

Do you mind sharing pricing information on the procedures?

Sweet Pee,

I love to share information about plastic surgery, however the best way to get accurate information about pricing about procedures, I would advise contacting The plastic surgery office directly. They are very nice and contact information can be found on the web site. I hope this helps. Smile

Hi thedivinemsQ,

You are so nice. Thank you for the compliment!! That makes me feel wonderful. The precedures I had were a Lower Body Lift, (a tummy tuck that goes all the around the body) a Breast Lift, (no implants) and a Butt Lift. Many people refer to these precedures as a Mommy Makeover. I have not had my arm lift (currently my arms measure 13 inches) nor my thight lift yet, however I am looking into getting these precedures done by the same plastic suregeon

in the very near future.
