A little background, I had done all my research and had decided on Dr. Sauceda.

Due to a glitch, he is not going to be a possibility for me.

i would love some names and experiences.  If I should be looking elsewhere, please let me know.  I'm super sad about Dr. S, I can tell he is a very wonderful man and surgeon. This has nothing to do with him, it's a personal medical thing.

That being said, I really, really need some other options.

Why are you not able to go to Dr. Sauceda? I do not understand your post.

Yes, your post doesn't quite make sense. What glitch?

Something medically about me (private).  ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the great doc.  Nothing anyone else would ever need to worry about.  I think he is amazing!

if there is something medically prohibiting Dr. S from doing your surgery ,won't the same problem keep any surgeon outside the US also be unable to do it safely?

No.  Others will be able to work with my situation.

I'm going to Costa Rica in 10 days for a neck and face lift. Also some dental work while I'm there. 

I went to Oakland from NY in Sept for some surgery regarding loose skin on my face. Generally if you're willing to travel, there are good options in many locations, even other parts of the US that can be far less expensive than local options.
