Who has had extensive platics in Mexico?

I am wondering if anyone has had radical plastics in Mexico. I am SMO and working my way down.

I was 416 on surgery day and I am now 278. I still have EONS to go and I am really just dreaming. I will be self-pay for sure so I am thinking I might get plastics in Mexico "some day".

I am going to need everything basically (except a face-lift). And I was also wondering if you could go down to Mexico for a month and get it all done in 2 or so operations over a few weeks?

Thanks to all.

I have, but perhaps not as extensive as you will need.  But yes you can do it in 2 separate procedures a week or so apart maybe even less depending on your blood work and co-morbidities etc.  I know my doctor has done TT and LBLs etc. and then a few days later done face lifts or Blephs on those patients.

I was SMO also.  At my highest I was over 480.  I have lost quite a bit and had an extended TT and Brachioplasty done 12/2 in Mexico with Dr. S.  I realize I'll need revisions for both of these procedures but my chronic back pain is now totally resolved.

When I return at goal, I am going to have everything done.  BA/BL, LBL, ETL, Face Lift/Neck included, Anchor TT and Butt implants.

I'm thinking 2 different surgery dates would be best.  Many go and have a lot of procedures done at once - but if you can split them up, it's much easier.

When you're ready contact the surgeon of your choice and he/she can tell you what can be done in one procedure.

Thank you so much for responding.

Can I ask why you'd need a "revision" to something you've already done once? It looks like you only have about 58 pounds to go on your loss, so I am wodering why you'd need a revision?

Great losses by-the-way it's very very inspiring to me.

I have lost 47lbs since surgery - I had 100lbs to lose the day of my surgery.  My Tummy is not hanging the way it was, but the upper part of my tummy is bad.  I'll need an anchor cut.
The arms I'm not sure about.  I love the way they look and even after losing 47lbs they are still tiny and no hanging bat wings. I just fear when I get the rest of my weight off, I'll have the batwings again and my upper tummy will be unbearable.
Thanks for the compliments!
