    Folks, this place offers the best prices on the planet. I mean literally.
    A lot of Americans & Europeans go there and they see about 30-40 foreign travelorŽs a month. The three hot places to go are: Mexico, Bolivia, & Brazil.
    Now to go to Bolivia youŽll need a visa and a yellow fever shot but after this youŽll get a 5 yr. visa to go back & forth and do your makeover.
    The clinic will keep you 2-3 nights till you get on your feet. I plan on doing 2 procedures on each trip. Check out their dental prices. IŽll get 4 implants and IŽll ask about invisible braces. IŽll get them put on reasonable and IŽll find an orthodontist that will adjust them for me back home.
    IŽm sure youŽll find their prices amazing.
    Word of warning though: If you do an extreme makeover which entails many procedures at once you had better bring a traveling companion with you.
    A woman on my Mexico trip did her whole body and was in pain I mean špainšfor two weeks. She couldnŽt go out and her husband had to dote on her and bring her all her meals. On top of that she was wrapped up like a mummy, had multiple drains coming off of her and had hundreds of stiches to remove. She looked like šthe Bride of Frankenstein.š So if you want to enjoy your trip and get around use your head. No package with multiple discounts is worth it in my opinion. Do 2 or 3 procedures per trip. Also see if you can get prescription vidocan or percocepts before you leave home for pain after you get discharged from the clinic. The doctorŽs here will offer you tylenol when youŽre discharged and folks here tell me itŽs not strong enough. IŽll post some more places in the days ahead. I go home tommorrow. I canŽt wait. I miss my family.

    Actually, Dr. Almanza's team will do breast life, tummy tuck and lipo for $5500. Less if you had your procedure with him.

    That's a great price IG. IMO do not use any of the 3rd party companies. They charge MORE than if you were to contact the Dr yourself. Cut out the middle man. I contacted a company just to see what their markup would be. The Dr gave me a quote for $10,400. The same procedures thru the company $17,700. That is just ridiculous. You get the SAME services and after care that you get with the Dr. They don't offer an extras. Contact the Dr yourself. They have their own in-house coordinators. Alot of the 3rd party companies are previous patients who decided wow I can make this a business. While the process is a little longer since most of the Drs don't speak English it's more than worth it to save THOUSANDS of $$$$$$$. Just my .02

    I paid for my package (including 14 days in a 4stars hotel, my surgeries - tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast lift- , staying at clinic, all medical fees, local transportation, blood tests etc..) $6,500.

    As LaTasha said, you can make these arrangements with the doctor yourself, save yourself some money and cut out the middleman. If you want to know the names of good Mexican doctors the info is available for free; no middleman necessary. It's also cheaper and easier to fly into San Diego (all of the doctor's offices/recovery houses/hotels have shuttles that will pick you up there and drive you into Mexico); than going deeper into South America, plus a shorter flight, important to consider when traveling after surgery.

    Latasha and I are members of another site where we are used to seeing "posts" like this advertising Makevover travel. Make your own arrangements, people! Many people do just that to do the sleeve in Mexico, PS is the same.

    Spam post just deleted. And another was deleted in the last week or so.
    This thread will be locked and farther action taken if false testimonials and one-off advertorials from "post count: 1" members continued to be posted. This is unethical of the company to do and against the rules of our site.
