    Default TT, Arms and Breasts coming up for me on February 25th

    I will be going to Terra Nova in TJ on February 24th to have the first round of my plastics. Dr. Sanchez and Dr. Baez will be doing a tummy Tuck with Lipo, Arms, and Breast Aumentation on my first trip along with a small butt lift. I will then return 6 months later to have my thighs and nose done. I am really looking forward to this phase in my journey!

    Looking Good!! Are you having the TT, breast, legs at the same time? You don't have to answer, but is the procedures that more inexpensive in TJ than the US? Just curious, trying to decide if I'm going to have to get plastic, I've lost 39lbs and my boobs have started to deflate horribly.

    How did you know the right place for you? Know I'm going to Mexico but having a hard time on picking. I need to go to a place where I can say awhile to heal!

    Hi There,
    The total price for everything that I am having done is $16,300.00 Which is a great price. I had my sleeve with Dr. Quinones so I get a price break for that seeing they consider you family after that. He is is the same group of surgeons (Sanchez Medical) 2nd of all I paid cash up front for all of my surgery. I got an inheritance when my father passed away so I was able to do that. Not everyone is able to come up with that much money at once. I praise the Lord that I can get this done.

    Congrats! The hard work is over and this is the final payoff You're going to look great!

    I had my consultation at Wake Forest Baptist in NC recently. It's a resident program and it's VERY affordable. The resident is 6th year, graduating in June and felt very comfortable with him....$6350 for extended TT, muscle repair, lipo of flanks and thighs, breast lift. It does not include 1 night in the hospital. I urge anyone that doesn't have thousands to spend and want to stay in the country to look into resident clinics. They're all over the US. I could never afford the $18,000 that was quoted to me.

    It's Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. Just call and ask for the resident clinic. Dr. Kelly is the one doing my surgery. He'll be leaving in May. Good luck!

    Yes, Terry....I'm fairly sure there's no restrictions regarding other countries since you're paying out of pocket.

    How did you determine what to have done and when? How did you decide on the two surgeries and which ones to do at each time? I a ways off from these surgeries, but getting started on my research.

    Hope things turned out well I had my mm & arms done same day but in monterrey with dr. sauceda. I am up walking to the mall maybe slowly but hardly any pain at all....very surprising. This doc keeps drains in as long as possible....i like that, i will be going home with the tummy drain & it may stay in a little longer than 2wks but i feel good about that. I liked terra nova when I used dr. neibles for my face in sept last year. Let us know how you are?

    Hi All, 3 weeks ago I had my tummy tuck, lipo, breast augmentation with implants and arms done. I really love the job that Dr. Baez did at Terra Nova!! The tummy tuck was the biggest challenge, everything else was a piece of cake.

    Quick update....I had my Breast lift, tummy tuck and lipo 17 days ago at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC. My surgeons were 6th year residents (I had 2 doctors, supervised by the chief of surgery). The procedures cost me a total of $6375 total with 1 year of after care. It took 5.5 hours and they removed 10 pounds of skin which took me to my goal weight! I'm still recovering, but I am thrilled to have my body back to pre-obesity/pre-pregnancy condition. I haven't looked this good since I was 19
