Hi, I had my gastric sleeve a year ago and now would love to have a tummy tuck.. can someone recommend a good plastic surgeon.

I had my extended tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, all over lipo, and fat grafting with Dra. Laura Carmina Cardenas back in Aug. 2011. I had a fantastically positive experience and received excellent care and support from Dra. Cardenas herself (came to see me every day for two weeks in the Recovery House) as well as the nursing staff of the Beauty Care Recovery House where I stayed for two full weeks post-op. I plan to go back there ASAP to have my thighs done and a revision to my breasts.

 

I had lost 90 pounds "on my own" prior to plastics, thus the need for them in the first place, But I regained 80 pounds over the next three years post-plastics, which is why I was sleeved in Sept. 2014. My tummy tuck held up fantastically well through the re-gain and loss, but I think that's mostly to do with the fact that when I regained the weight, it almost all went into my hips/thighs. So now that I've re-lost the weight I have a lot of excess skin in my thighs. I need the breast revision, because the weight regain and re-loss seems to have completely depleted what real breast tissue I had and caused my implants to become more obvious (I can feel them through my skin!) and the left one to become slightly malpositioned. I'm hoping Dra. Casrdenas will be able to help me out with that somehow, though I haven't consulted her about it yet.

Thank you so much! I will check her out. Good luck with your upcoming surgeries. ????

You could look into Dr Medina at Trinity Medical in Tijuana too! He was listed in Forbes magazine as one of Mexico's top plastic surgeons:)

I will do that. Thank you.
