Need advice

[Dylan1994 1]

I have some questions for my surgeries. I have a lot of loose skin as I went from 285 to 180 pounds (but am 200 pounds right now). The worst area by far is the inner thighs, but I also have a good amount on my stomach and i have moobs. So the surgeries I want are: thigh lift, Tummy Tuck, chest reconstruction. I got 2 different quotes from Dr. Galvez in Tijuana: Thigh lift only is $4250 with $1200 hospital fees and if I want to get all 3 surgeries done its $8050 with $1400 hospital fees. I want to get the 3 surgeries done since its only an extra 4k.

What im asking is are there cheaper doctors out there or is Dr Galvez in Tijuana the cheapest? Is Tijuana the cheapest place to get these surgeries or is there a better option? I will be needing a loan so what company would you suggest since CareCredit doesn't work in Mexico.

I'm not sure if looking for the cheapest is the best way to go. I would look for the ones with the best results, other people's experience with the doctor and the after care should there be complications right after surgery.

If it's clear that the cheapest option has a record of good patient outcomes.

But, if the long term history of a low-cost surgeon or clinic shows a range of problems and complications, you may have to reconsider.

"Buy your healthcare up to a standard not down to a price," is an adage of my dad's.

There are more reliable places to look for reviews. https://www.healthgrades.com/ is one.

If you search there are others as well, where you can check their statistics, complaints, deaths, etc....
