those of you who have used Dr. Sauceda....what are costs and what does it all entail to start

I've been reading that some of you used Dr. Sauceda and are really happy with your results. So, I was just curious how you decided to use him, what surgery you had, how much was the total cost, what all is included in the cost, and what would be important things to know before I made my decision.

Thanks for any info you can give,
Amelia

I already had a tummy tuck in December and now I would like to have a butt lift (without any kind of augmentation or fat grafting) and a thigh lift.  I wonder what Dr. S would charge for the butt and thigh lift.  It would not exactly be a lower body lift.

Thanks
Ann

the butt aug is not listed?

he doesn't list all of his procedures.

if your surgery is greater than $7K this is what he includes:

$600 for your airfare

the cost of your airport to hotel - hotel to Dr's office for markup - hotel to surgery center  (he has a private driver to pick his patients up.,  He will pick you up the morning of surgery.

Two compression garments from www.marenagroup.com

your hotel charges for the time he requires you to stay in Monterrey.  He will also cover the cost for your family or friend to stay at the hotel while you're in the hospital.

The full price of the hospital - you may stay there 2 days or more.  If you are having your face done, he keeps you there and does your face - 3 days after your body.  Most stay 6 to 7 days at the hospital.

All dressing changing supplies

Visiting RN at hotel once you to arrive at the hotel - each morning to help with your shower, change your dressings and assess your incisions

He visits each day in the afternoon or evening (surgery schedule permitting) -

 

He has a private forum here:

(EDIT:  I didn't see the others' response.  I think I repeated much of what others have said, sorry!)

Hello, I see that you had the long thigh lift.  I was wondering how your scars look today, how painful was it?  How do your arms look today and the scars? Overall i know that you recommend Dr Sauceda.  I am planning to see him July 29th 2014.  I am very nervous about traveling alone and outside of the US.  I am finally getting my passport at the age of 60...:)  Any information is appreciated.  I am getting either a LBL, full TT and arm lift, or i may get the upper body lift.  Not sure.  I go back and forth.  Every thing looks bad.... :)

Thanks for your response.

Hi,

Do you know if Dr.Sauceda does the 360 circumferential body lift? what does it inlcude? Does that include a breast lift ?

Thank you,

Jaz

360 circumferential body lift is the same as a lower body lift. So yes, he does that. A breast lift wouldn't be part of that - it's lower body only (abs, hips, lower back)

Yes, he does the 360 body lift, also called a lower body lift. He also does breast lifts (with or without implants), but this is a separate procedure. You can have them both done at the same time.
