 Make sure you check with your doctor before buying any garments. In my opinion he should be supplying you with at least one (prefferably two) garments.  I've notice that sometimes the plastic surgeons consider such information so basic that they forget to impart it to the patient.  However it really helps to know that "you will receive two garments" or "you need to buy a front closure sports bra" prior to the surgery rather than learning it post-op.

Hello, are you going to Mexico for all of that?

My doc will only do the TT, the breast reduction will have to be done seperately. He sais if he does both it will be an eight hour operation.

 Teresa,
In the states they can't do all of that at once. I'm going to MX with Dr. Sauceda and having a Breast Lift, Lower Body Lift, Inner Thigh Lift, Upper Arm Lift, and Mini Face Lift all at once.

The difference is Dr. S doesn't use general anesthesia. This allows the patient to be under for a much longer period of time. He uses twilight sleep and an epidural.
