    Default Skin reduction Mexico recommendations

    I need to get Tummy tuck plus some other areas like arms and neck. Anyone travel and have these done and would recommend their surgeon?

    The plastic surgery blog is Realself. You can find it on the internet. There are doctors from North America, South America, the Carribean, and Mexico on there. Girls give reviews on plastic surgeons they went to. On the search bar just type in Mexican plastic surgeons if that is where you want to go. Girls also frequently go to DR, Colombia, Costa Rica, And Brazil also. Usually the prices in the Latin America countries are 1/3 of the USA. When I went to Mexico I met tons of Canadians and US citizens down there for plastics as plastics are expensive in the US and not covered by insurance. Choose your physician carefully according to reviews. Some are in more demand than others but realize complications and botched work even happen to board certified and good plastic surgeons on a bad day.

    I would suggest you reach out to cowgirljane. I'm pretty sure she had the works done in Mexico and had a great experience and great results.

    Personally I would do it locally if you are able to afford it. I had my TT done locally for like 6000 total for doctor and hospital costs I think it was and was glad I was able to come home to my own house that same nite. A friend had to drive me to my post op the next day but that was all - I work from home so that was never an issue of going to and from work. I just wasn't comfortable having to stay in Tijuana for 5 - 9 days as I was quoted. It seems to me that the costs of plastics are getting more and more competitive with Mexico since more and more people were opting to go there and the US docs were losing tons of business. But the one place I know of a few ladies that went to and had good results was CosMed Clinic in Tijuana - Dr Q is the best from what I understand

    Great info.... I hope costs do go down in the US as I would rather not deal with the travel either. Wish you success!!
