Plastics in Oregon
If you can swing it I would look into going to Mexico for plastics. If I had the money I would go to Dr. Saucedo. He has a great reputation with WLS patients and is very reasonable. If the procedure is over about $8000 (I think) he will also reimburse part of the airfare and pay for the hotel. I have seen people pretty much get the works, lower body lift, breast lift/implants, face lift, arms, etc for around $20,000.00. About half of what it costs in the US. He has a forum here if you want to check it out. His patients all seem very happy with his work.

I came here from Chicago and was totally shocked. It's gorgeous and great if you love the outdoors (which I do, so I plan on staying a while), but sometimes I feel like I need to call Doc Brown to swing by with his DeLorean to take me to a decade that I recognize.
What part of Oregon are you in? I'm in the SW area, which is...interesting....
I live in Portland and I just got back from having my plastic surgery done in Mexico by the awesome and fabulous Dr. Sauceda! I'm glad I did the medical tourism thing because I could never afford to pay for my procedures in the States, and the good doctor and his staff TREAT YOU RIGHT! I had the arm lift, long thigh lift, tummy tuck and lower body lift. The total cost was $13,300, but I also got a $600 refund for my airfare which he offers if your airfare is at least that cost, bringing my final expense to $12,700. This includes the surgeon's fee, my stay at the hotel (up to 12 days), plus two free sets of post-surgical compression garments (I checked prices--mine were worth $380, total!) and the convenience of having Dr. Sauceda visit every day and his nurse come help you shower, do wound care and get you back into your garments on a daily basis. If I EVER need anything else done, I am going back to him!
