PS pics: arms, tt, bl, ba, butt lift, and lipo, 6 weeks out!

Hey all, had plastic surgery in Monterrey Mexico in March with Dr. Sauceda. I am now 6 weeks post op from brachioplasty, breast lift, breast augmentation with silicone implants, tummy tuck, lipo of top part of tummy and back and brazilian butt lift with lipoed fat injected in rear to "plump" it!

YOu are welcome to view my before/after pics and pictures through this process over the last 6 weeks. I still have some swelling in the tummy, but the rest is mostly all gone. I also posted my surgery blog, my personal story, and a good links section. Hubby was kind enough to do the website for me!!

You can view it at: My Mexico Plastic Surgery Journey!

Thanks!!

Misty

Oh, and since I know this will come up, it cost me $12,000 for all my procedures including my airfare and 10 nights hotel, 2 nights in the hospital, all my hospital and surgery fees, and after care garments.

I was quoted in Dallas for $27000. The other Plastic surgeons I talked too thought I was nuts to do all of that at once. I am in excellent health with no comorbodities, fairly young so I wasn't afraid of doing it all at once. I had no complications and would go back to Monterrey and Dr. Sauceda to do it again in a heartbeat!!

thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this. It is always great to see before and after on parts, especially since some of my nows look like your thens!

Hey, don't you worry, you will get there!!

Misty

Wow....you look like a totally different person. Turned out great. I know this is the understatement of the century, but.......man that looked extremely painful!!

I have to be honest, the first 2 days were bad but after that it really wasn't painful. Pain is mostly a mind-construct, so there are beneficial cognitive ways of dealing with it. Maybe I am just different but I don't really feel that things were bad. I was back at school the following week when I got back from Mexico.

Misty,

Hi there,

You will get there! Just don't give up! Thanks so much for looking at my website that my husband made for me!!

Misty

WOW! You looking amazing!!

congrats and thanks for posting! Your scars are healing beautifully! Are you putting anything on them? (Vit E, Silicone sheets, etc)

Hi,

I am not putting anything on the scars right now. At first I put neosporin on them but my clothes would get all oily and yuck. I do put 50 SPF sunblock on the arm scars anytime I am going outside for more than just 2-3 minutes as it is important to keep them protected from the sun. It's funny because where the scars are there is a very white area surrounding the scars. The arm scars are darker than the tummy tuck scar which is fading very well. The breast incision scars are completely gone now because he cut around the nipple.

I will be adding more pictures shortly. I just ordered a new bikini from Victorias Secret that will be here by Monday!!

Take care,

Misty
