I have heard plenty of people that are happy with surgery from Mexico, but as a health care professional it scare the daylights out of me. I'm sure the doctors are well trained and qualified, but from what I see on this site, there is very little pre and post surgery care, and it kind of feels like you are just one of hundreds of patients in a week. I like a bit more personalized service, but I am also a bit of a control freak.....

I've heard good and bad. My concern is if you have complications, will you be able to find someone here that's willing to take care of you. Its hard enough if you get a botched surgery here to find someone who is willing to take over your care, it might be harder from abroad. I understand the cost factor, but you have to ask yourself if its really worth the risks.

Hi Myra,

I have heard there a many places Mexico that does good plastics, however, you must do your research. I've also heard that the Dominican Republic has good surgeons too.

I plan to use Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey. Others on this site have used him with excellent results. Check out Cowgirl Jane.

When considering Mexico for PS, remember that there, they keep you close by for up to a week or longer after PS surgery and the doctor visits you daily. In the US, you go home the next day.

Bariatric surgery and plastics are very different from each other in how they are handled in Mexico.

Of course, there is always a chance of complications, regardless of where you go.

I had excellent results with Dr Victor Gutierrez. He also has several wonderful reviews on RealSelf.com

Here are some before and after pictures of my plastic surgery results.

Was this all one surgery? Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you total?

Hi Sandy M,

I had a Mommy Makeover, which consisted of a Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift and a Butt Lift which were done on the same day. The cost of my surgery was reasonable, but the exceptional care that I received from my doctor was priceless. They are very nice and will speak to you directly about procedures or prices. (Smile)

I hope this helps :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
