plastic surgery after WLS

I am deciding on plastic surgery now 6 yrs after WLS.  I've lost over 100 lbs & need tummy tuck, breast lift, arm lift, thigh lift.  I went to one surgeon here in dallas & he recommended 2 surgeries:  arms, breasts & tummy first round for $20,000.  Then second would be back lift w/thigh lift, approx $12-15000.  OMG, I never dreamed it would be this much?  Have another consultation scheduled for October, but has anyone looked into having plastic surgery in Brazil or Argentina?  Seriously having to look into that now but want to talk w/someone who's done it & knows where to go!

 Check and see if there is a residency program in Dallas, it can save you a lot of money.

I was quoted by one surgeon in RI -  TT and Breast Lift for 17K. Another surgeon quoted the same but with implants for 15k

Having TT and Arm Lift for $6,000 in round #1 and will be having Thigh lift and BL/BA for round 2.  After MUCH research I (along with another WLS friend) are going to Dr Luque in Mexicali on October 20th.  I expect my 4 procedures to toal $12,000.

Good Luck

How did you find out about him and how are you making all the arrangements?  Will he do all 4 procedures all at once????    How can I research him?

How can you contact him & find out more info?  Have you already had your surgery?

Try Dr. Sauceda too.  There was a young woman from Houston there when I was there last.  She said her plane ticket was like $200 and I know his plastic prices are very very good, but his work is even better.  He has had much experience dealing with OH patients and what our skin is like after losing a lot of weight.   Hang around his board to learn more.
