    Default Plastic Surgery in Mexico

    Hey everyone...hope all is well!!! I'm looking for references for plastic surgery in Mexico. I'm interested in a tummy tuck, breast implants, lower body lift?, and whatever the procedure is called that removes the excess skin from upper arms. Please only reply if you've had a procedure or are going through the process to get it and can share your experience. Websites, surgeons, hospitals, prices, travel, and overall experiences would be greatly appreciated! I'm just gathering information right now as it will be at least a few months before I'd be ready to actually start contacting places. Thank you so much!

    The LIMARP clinic (owned by Dr Pompa) has a plastic surgeon. I haven't used them but there was a lady from the Canadian group Weight Loss Forever. They use both Pompa and this surgeon. I was very impressed and happy with their service and quality of work for my surgery.

    Good luck!

    I'm going on December 18th to Jerusalem Clinic to have surgery with Dr. Yanez. He is only doing plastics there until the end of this year. One of the girls I was sleeved with last year saw him last week and LOVES the results! I will be having a full Mommy Makeover- tummy tuck, implants/breast lift, and liposuction for $5500. I wanted to do my arms or thighs at the same time, but they said that you really can only safely do 2 lifts at a time, so with the tummy tuck and implant/lift, I'd have to wait for my arms. I'm okay with that though!

    I've gone through mommymakeovers.com and their coordinators. I've been very impressed with the whole process.

    Charity...I've never been outside of the US how does that all work? And does the $5500 cover everything?

    Hi Stacey. Hi went through msvetrn (Christy) to book my surgery with Dr. Niebles. I'm having a breast aug/lift, belt lipectomy (360 tummy tuck) and butt lift in 8 days - December 8th. Christy had her breasts, tummy and arms done with Dr. Niebles, and looks fantastic!! Ellemarie also had a tt and breast aug/lift a few weeks back by Dr. Niebles. She's doing great too! All the best in your search for more info.

    I know a few people that have had their reconstruction with Dr Sauceda in Monterray and I haven't heard anything but amazing experience with him. I'm considering him for mine as well. There's a whole group of us over on OH if you want to know more about him. Link.... Dr. Sauceda Patients Message Board

    You know, the only thing that really concerned me about Dr. Saucedo is how much he was willing to do at one time. When every other doctor says they won't do _____ at the same time as __________ but there's one doctor that says he will ... just sorta makes me wonder. I know so many people (on the OH board) can't be wrong, but it still makes me go hmmm.

    There's more than 1 doc who will do ____________ i.e. thighs and arms and other combos-I've read it on realself from the actual surgeons and some of the patients themselves, it really just depends on the doctor and the client and their goals.

    Dr. Sauceda is a phenomenal surgeon according to a LOT of his previous patients. I had a lengthy consultation and he said he would NOT do everything I want to do at one time (my age, health, etc.) but when it comes time, I'm pretty sure I'll be going to him for the lower body lift and possibly breast lift at a later date.
