Dr. Sauceda plastic surgery revision

I had a extensive plastic surgery in November by Dr.Francisco  Sauceda in Monterrey. He is a wonderful plastic surgeon and I was very pleased. I had a LBL, inner thigh lift, breast lift and aug plus brachioplasty. when we initially talked, he told me the complication rates and I was assured by his expertise and the fact that Dr. Alvarez referred him. I did however have a slight buldge in my lower tummy area that I was not happy with. My fiancee and friends told me I was nuts that it was not that bad. But I had come this far and wanted it to be smoother. 

I saw Dr. Sauceda in Vegas back in March at Dr. A's patient reunion. He came to my room and checked me over just as in any follow-up visit and told me that he could go back in, as a revision, and take off a bit more of my tummy. He said it would be a revision and he would take care of it--all I had to do was pay my air fare and hotel. I just returned from having this minor revision to my tummy and I am very pleased that he was wondeful again, and you would not have known by the care and treatment I got that it was a revision.

For anyone who is considering plastic surgery following weight loss, I highly recommend you consider Dr. Sauceda. His wife is the anesthesiologist and they are both very caring, compassionate, and a wonderful team. In a few weeks I will take more pictures and can share them with anyone who is interested.

i met two other women down there who had just had surgery by Dr. Sauceda. I only got to talk to one but she was very happy as well. She told me that it is good to know that Dr. Sauceda honors revisions. I was very happy from my first surgeries and considered this a minor tweak in completing my PS journey.  Like the first surgeries, I am amazed at how little pain I have been in.Ibupofen is all I need and I've tapered that off.

Cathy, that is wonderful news!  I am considering Dr. S. myself, as I was just denied by my insurance (Tricare).  DH is not very happy, as I would have to travel alone while he took off to care of the kids.  Would you mind answering a few questions?  I am looking to have exactly what you had, and I was wondering the cost, and the length of stay, and which hotel did you stay at.  I'm sure I'll have a million more questions!  Thanks, Diane.

Back in November when I had the comprehensive work I was in Mexico for about 10 days. Doc put us up at the Hampton Inn, which is the same as in the US--clean, safe, etc. I don't know that I would have gone by myself but doc said if I did, he would keep me in the hospital the whole time so I would have assistance. I think lonliness would have got me too. But honestly, it needed some assistance at doing things after all the surgery that I had. Dr. Sauceda has prices on his website: www.medicaltourism.com.mx. He also gave me a volume discount for having it all done at once.

If you send me an email to [email protected] I can send you more specific details from a diary I kept and before/after pictures.

Good luck!

Hello Cathy,

My name is michelle and i have scheduled surgery with Dr Sauceda on July 29th.  I was wondering if you still love your surgery, what you had done and any pictures you are willing to share.  I will be going alone so i am also a little nervous.

Thanks so much,

Michelle

Hey Cathy

I'm so glad everything worked out OK with the revision !  Really enjoyed getting to meet you and Julie in Vegas and talk a little more about your surgery Dr Sauceda.

Just wanted to let you know I booked my surgery for Oct 3rd with him .

Thanks again for the pics and details of your experience with Dr Sauceda !

Talk soon
Tony

PS are you and you sister going on the cruise in March ?

what is this cruise you are speaking of?

Look who is asking !!!   Miss take off for a month !!   Just kidding -- looks like yall had a lot of fun and even had a little time to take some pictures !!

I think Susan is finishing up the final details and it should be in the next newsletter.  All I know is it leaves New Orleans on March 20 for 5 days .  It makes two stops . One stop in Merida (Progreso) MX  and another stop in Cozumel MX .   

Hope everybody that wants to come can make it this time .  We had a good time and turnout in Vegas but I think this reunion will be even better !!   

Aww I'm sad  I would love to go on that cruise!!! But I'll be headed to Hawaii for my wedding! I'm afraid Ryan wouldn't let me do both

You will have a blast in Cozumel!! They have this amazing beach there that has the softest sand I've ever felt. It was like silk! And the water was so warm! Like bath water :)

Hope ya'll have a good time on the cruise :)

OK --  Since Ryan will not put off the wedding for the  Reunion, I guess you will just have to plan on coming to the next one as an "old" married couple !!  

But I can not think of a better reason to miss the Reunion  !!  Some friends on mine just flew back this morning from a week over there !! Look on F/B at some of their pictures .  Really looks nice over there!! 

And promise to take some more of those "good" pics on this trip too !!
