What was your Experience like with Dr. Sauceda?
Hey, don't knock the Monster cookies unless you've had them. They were great. I was ordering them for breakfast/lunch & dinner while I was in the clinic.
My Saucedas are even now. One shoulder is lower than the others, which always made me shorten up one strap so that the nipples would be even... It was hard making them even... Now, they look marvelous, if I may say so. Even braless!

Lol I'm not mocking the cookies. I just don't eat many of them.
I have not been on this site in forever!!!
I am 3.5 years post op from plastics with Dr. S. I cannot say enough good about him.
I went to MX alone and left my new hubby behind. Stayed in the hospital the whole 2 weeks.
Dr.'s here have comment on how great a job he did. I had a face lift, lbl, brachioplasty, inner thigh lift and breast lift with aug. My scars at this time are so light they are barley noticeable.
The hospital was cleaner than some I have seen here in the states.
The staff was amazing.
I did have trouble healing from the inner thigh lift...that is a tough one. It took some time but it was well worth it.
Let me point out something else.
I had EVERYTHING but the face lift done at one time. After wards there was no pain and I'm a big baby. I mean NO PAIN! A little discomfort, yes, pain NONE.
I want a leg lift and will go back to him for it....one day when I have the money that is.

HI Peach, I see you had Dr. S, do your inner thigh lift. He has given me my quote which is 2x less than what I was quoted here in the US. I am planning to have surgery next Spring. He agrees that I need an inner thigh lift and he suggested groin to knee incision. How was the recovery? Did any of your incisions pop open? I want to get an idea of how much pain and difficulty this will be.
Thanks,
Fran
Thanks,

The stitches on my innthigh did pop open. And yes, they did take some time to heal. Had to follow up with a DR. here in the states. I WISH to have the groin to knee incision one day to firm up these legs!
I will go back to Dr S for that. THere was NO PAIN. Seriously no pain.

Would you recommend going with someone or was it okay when you went by yourself?
For everyone I was thinking about either getting a tummy tuck and breast lift or a lower body lift and breast lift. But the lower body lift/beast life is a lot of money for me to save (considering I am just a college student.) What are the benefits of getting a lower body lift vs. just getting a tummy tuck? Does the lower body lift have more advantages then just a tummy tuck? I know that it flattens your stomach but I don't understand what else it lifts/does...

The LBL besides doing the front (TT), pulls up the mons, the front, sides and backs of your thighs, pulls up on the butt and down on the back skin. Dr S also puts in butt flaps to help round out your upper butt (if you need them). As you combine procedures, the price goes down. There are no hidden fees, once your cost is $7k, Dr S picks up your hotel, clinic & up to $600 of your airfare.
I went by myself and didn't have a problem. I was in the clinic for 7 days, had body work done on a Thur, face & neck on Mon, at the hotel on Wed and left the following Wed. You do have to pick up your own food when you are at the hotel. The hotel has a nice breakfast with eggs, waffles, yogart, fruit... and you can take some back for later in your room. Tue/Wed/Thur they have appetizers.
Start saving now. If you do Starbucks, make your own coffee, do your own nails, eat in not out...etc. Dee moved into a small 1 bedroom apt to save money.

What do you mean by butt flaps?
I think I'm going to try and get a very part time job while in college. Maybe I could take on full time hours in the summer and during breaks in college. I am also thinking about saving some of the extra money from grants and stuff I get from college. I'm thinking I'm going to need to save at the very least $14,000 for surgery. I'm not sure though I might just do the LBL as on procdure and once I graduate with my masters go for more. Sometimes I really hate being a college student.

Do a search for butt flaps... I show pics.
ETA:
I bumped the butt flap thread up to the top, oops it's over on Dr Sauceda's group, not here. Thought it was cross-posted.
