I had the sleeve surgery. My insurance didn't cover my surgery, bcbs of MI. I went to ALM (ALM) in Tijuana, Mexico. They were highly recommended and I've met several others who have gone to the same company in my small town alone. Look them up on FB or online. Total cost for everything was $6000. Includes, flight, hotel, for me and spouse, food for him and surgery.

I self paid for sleeve 18 k. I have a lower body left wit bum using my own tissue. This included TT with muscle repair. I had breast deconstruction and reconstruction with my own tissue. I did not want to replace implants each 6 or 8 years. It was 23 k. Both procedures I went with MD and facilities that were comfortable for me. I did get cheaper quotes but wanted to be confident. This body has been through a lot. ☺

Private for sleeve: £11,000 (13,745.05 US$)

Private for plastics: £23,000 (28,739.65 US$)

My husband deserves a medal lol

Agreed. I can not argue his new car

I had extended TT, breast lift/implants, all-over lipo, and fat grafting in Mexico for right around $10,500. But that was back in 2011. Might be more expensive now.

I paid for it by taking out a loan against my retirement account.

TI did not think of that. My issue is skin and more skin. I still need an upper arm lift and a inner thigh lift. My plan was to just wait a year until it was in the bank and my office is recovered from me taking most of January off. I do not want to have to wear compression gear during the summer months. What order did you have your procedures or did you space them out at all? I am rethinking the arm lift until the spring.

I had them all done at the same time. I am hoping to do a spiral thigh lift now that my loan from the first round of surgeries is paid off.

Where did you go through for the loan?

Do you mind sharing where you got your work done? I'm looking for a good reference for thigh work in Mexico.

I'm paying cash for my surgeries. $25k for Circumferential Body Lift with vertical and Medial Thigh Lift in May and $17k for Breast Augmentation and Arm lift in July.

I went to the AMAZING dr Carmina Cardenas in Mexico for a neck lift, breast lift and extended tummy tuck with muscle repair plus five days stay recovery with 25 hour nursing. My cost was $12,750.

I am paying on a credit card that is interest free for 15 months. I'm 2 days post op LBL that was $9200 (outpatient) In January I will have a combined arm/breast lift (no implants) with inner thigh lift (1 night inpatient). Total cost is around $10,000. I'm having all my surgeries at UF Health Shands Teaching hospital in Gainesville FL with one of the top cosmetic surgeons in the country, Bruce Mast.
