Recommendations for plastics surgeon in MI

I think I am getting close to being stable with my weight and would like to look into plastics.  Does anyone know of a good, resonable surgeon in MI?  I live near Grand Rapids. 

Thanks,
Lori

Hi Lori,
Depending on how much you want done, Dr S is pretty reasonable, you just have to travel to beautiful Monterrey!
I'm really pretty happy with everything so far.  Wish I was trotting around like Tom, but I'm still moseying in my own time.

Of course the only thing Kaiser might have covered was a breast lift, but I wanted everything done at once and one recovery period.

Thanks for the post, I appreciate it.  What I want to get done and what I will be able to afford are two different things...lol.  I want a tt, thigh lift, my arms done and breast lift.  I know it is very pricy so not sure what I will be able to do.  Where is Monterrey?  You are very recent out of surgery, how are you doing?

Thanks,
Lori

I went with an LBL, small upper thigh lift, didn't need all the way down to my knees, just the upper inside thigh is pulled into the groin, my arms and a breast lift.  When you combine the procedures, the price comes down. 

Monterrey Mexico is about 200 miles south west of Houston.  It's the 3rd larges city in Mexico.  You are in the main hospital part of downtown.  The clinic, Dr Sauceda's office and the Hampton Inn are all within 5 min of each other. 

What I liked about the operation is it's done with an epideral under twilight sedation.  I was alert and knew everything the Dr told me about my surgery.   His price is all-inclusive - 12 nights at the Hampton Inn, time in the clinic, surgery, 2 sets of garments, nurse coming daily when you go back to the hotel.  Dr S also will credit you with up to $600 of your airfare.

Look over on Dr S's board and you'll see several of my posts and Tom's.  Do a friend request and you can see my pics as I post them.  password is plastics

Wow, that does sound like a deal. Do you mind if I ask how much all of that cost you? Thanks for the link, I am looking forward to seeing your pic's.

I'm in West Michigan and used Dr. Andrew Livingston out of Grand Rapids. His office is in my Bariatric Surgeons office @ Grand Health Partners. Prices are reasonable and he is a great surgeon. I love my results.

Hi Lori (and Sonnie!)
I am meeting with Dr. Livingson in Feb for a consult on Sonnie's suggestion.  I'm not 18 months out yet but am just under goal and really ready to start on this second step.  I'm planning  a breast lift with augmentation and a panni or tummy tuck, depending on what the doc thinks.  Would love to be able to just get the skin removed.  My shape is pretty good, just loose skin, but the boobs are a bit sad looking. 
Lori - I'm sending a friend request, would like to stay in touch while we both plan for plastics!

Hi Lori,
Dr Livingston just did an extended TT and BA on my last week Friday, I'm very happy with the result!! Please check him out.
