Has anyone used or heard of The Tijuana Liposuction Surgery Center? I just spoke with the director and it seems all to good to be true... I guess I should worry? I am wondering if anyone has feed back about or can refer me to a place to get more information on them. The price I was quaoted for: TT, Lift and enlarge (breast)(with lipo), butt tuck/lift with lipo, arm w lipo, thigh w lipo, and very private area tightening... with 4 weeks hotel stay, all meds, etc.. was under 30 grand. Is it possible to do all that boob, butt, tummy ect in a 4 week period? I will be black and blue from head to toe.... I need info on this. Also the very private area tightening.... I know I need lipo on the top outside... due to the FAT there WILL NEVER go away.... once its there, its there (so it has been explained) but this tightening? ummmm... what is that all about? how is tht possible and on top of that.... why does weight gain effect it...(the private area so that it needs tightening in the first place) Now I consider myself in the "know" about most things that have to do with my body and things I am going to have done to it, but this one has me stumped.... Also one more q.... I weight 140 now... I was told that my weight would drop about an average of 32lbs(from plastic surg here in US) with all the post op work... ummm that makes me 108... a little thin dont ya think.. what can I really expect from the weight loss aspect of the above discussed operations? pre-op 347 today (9/19) 140

If you are talking about Tijuana, as in Mexico, I would think long and hard about that. I am originally from Arizona and have spent alot of time in Mexico. The medical facilities are not regulated like they are in the United States. The physician licensing is also much different than in the US. I personally know someone who had a face lift in Mexico that went horribly wrong. I am not trying to scare you, but I just thought that you should know. I myself am looking into plastics, and what I can tell you is that the surgeon that I saw at Marietta Plastic Surgery advised me to start with the tummy and then we will go from there. He said that getting all of the skin removed is such a process with the risk of infection quite high, that he feels that you really need to heal, before starting the other.I too have excess skin in the private area, and he told me that the tummy tuck should lift that area and remove most if not all of the skin. On another note, my sister about 5 years ago had a tummy tuck,breast lift, butt lift, lipo and a nose job all at the same time. Her surgery was not weight loss related and it was done In San Diego. Getting It all done at once saved her alot of $$$, and she did say that if she had to go through all of that pain seperately versus all at once she might have chickend out. I hope that I have helped, and good luck!!! Cathy Martin
