    Default Any plastic surgeon in Mexico - Abdominoplasty

    Hello all
    Just wondering if any one had gone through tummy tuck in Mexico.
    If so can you share or suggest a good surgeon in Mexico.

    I had done my VSG almost 5 years ago, lost 120 lbs and able to maintain the
    Weight ( +/-10 lbs). Lately I feel my skin is very loose and showing up
    Out of my cloths. So decided to go for tummy tuck.

    If any one can suggest a surgeon in Mexico, will be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    I am thinking of doing it in the US. From the seminars I've been to it's not that expensive. But I'm still a little chicken. (OK a lot chicken). But I would love the tummy gone, even though it hides well under clothes.

    I do know they say to wait a year after reaching goal before surgery and have a BMI of 25 or lower.

    I researched having a tummy tuck in Mexico. Turns out it isn't cheaper at all. The only way it would have been worth it was if I needed/wanted to have multiple procedures. My friend had tummy, arms, butt, boobs, lipo, basically everything in Mexico for $12,000. I was quoted about $7,000 for tummy which is about what I would pay here in the States. The traveling and accommodations in Mexico make the costs go too high to make it worth it for me.

    Hello Katrina
    I totally agree with you. Just got a quote from Mexico charging 9k for TT alone.
    When I consider flight and other expenses. Totally make sense to get it done in
    Canada. Thanks for your response.

    Having a tummy tuck surgery is quiet expensive indeed!

    Hello Katrina,

    Did you push you TT in Mexico? And also curious about your friend, with all those surgeries, any side effect/s? TIA

    I ended up giving up on the TT for now. It wasn't any cheaper for me to go to Mexico, and I didn't have the patience to save up the money for more than a couple of months. I only made it up to like $2,000 in my TT fund before I went and blew it all on other things.

    My friend doesn't seem to have any side effects from all her surgeries. She's very pleased with her results. I would not have been pleased with those results, but glad she's happy. I just can't get past the huge arm scars. And I can't even tell she had a Brazilian butt lift, though I didn't know her prior to surgery. Her tummy and boobs look great though.

    Hello! I have not gone through a tummy tuck in Mexico, but I have gone through one in the United States. I recommend researching before choosing a surgeon, regardless of where you go. In this way, I found https://es.drbustillo.com/procedimie...os/rinoplastia. There are a lot of "quack" surgeons out there, unfortunately. As for finding a reputable surgeon in Mexico, I would recommend starting with a consultation with a few different surgeons. Be sure to ask each surgeon about their experience, training, and success rate with the procedure. It would be best if you also asked to see before and after photos of their previous patients. Once you've consulted with a few surgeons, you should be able to decide which one you want to use.
