Hysterectomy and tummy tuck

[mydecision]

Is there a doctor that does this surgery at the same time in Mexico?

I highly doubt it but one never knows in MEXICO! Seriously, you have to have a medically documented reason to have a hysterectomy. You cant just say, "I want a hysterectomy" - even in Mexico. If you do have a medically sound reason to have a hysterectomy, you may be more apt to find a GYN surgeon in the states who would bring in a plastics guy to give you a tummy tuck when he gives you the hysterectomy. I have a coworker who needed a hernia repair and she paid her surgeon $8000 extra (above insurance) cash to give her a tummy tuck at the same time.

I had an abdominal hysterectomy about 8 years ago. I asked the surgeon to take some of my stomach when he did it. He said they are not allowed to do plastic surgery and a medical surgery at the same time.

I saw it on the web they do it in the states. I've been going to the doctor and be said its looking like I'm going to need one. I wouldnt think anybody would want one for no reason.

I actually know women who want one for no other reason than to be rid of their menstrual cycle! You may be able to find a gyn in Mexico who would do the TAH and then have a plastics come in and do the tummy tuck.
I can ask my Plastic Surgeon in Tijuana if you want me to. I doubt your insurance would pay for that in Mexico, though, if you have insurance.
