Question:
Do you have links to Plastic Surgeons in Mexico or Bangkok?

Looks like I need to self-pay for my plastics. Can you give me links and/or recommendations to surgeons outside the US that may be helpful? Thanks!    — Robby E. (posted on December 2, 2003)

Robby, I've got a couple of links for you: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MedNetBrazil/ Quite a few WLS post-ops have gone to Dr. Fabio in Brazil - all that I know have had excellent results. http://members.tripod.com/clinicacavalcanti/ This is for another Brazilian PS - I hear he's very good, know a couple who have had consults with him, but don't know anyone yet whose had surgery with him. http://www.surgeon-and-safari.co.za/ This one is in South Afrida - and is supposed to be very good - they had an article in our local paper about it. Don't know anyone whose dont it yet, tho - although it's pretty darn tempting! And I have a good friend who just had her last baby in Thailand - she said she met several Westerners who were there for PS and that the work she saw having been done was flawless, incredible, not to mention that the Thai people are incredibly hospitable and treated her like a queen. Don't have any links yet, tho - sorry. Blessings, dina

Hi I am posting a link to a surgeon that a lot of Brits are using in Cyprus with great success. His fees are very reasonable, and from what I understand it includes airfare from London, and your stay in a hotel and all surgical fees. http://www.surgeon-plastic.com/

My WLS surgeon is recommending Dr. Gongora in Rosarita Beach, MX. His clinic address is: www.genesisclinic.com. There is a yahoo group for his patients also with pics and information. I have spoken with his office manager, she called me after I requested info via email. She is lovely and very helpful. The yahoo group address is: www.groups.msn.com/FriendsofDr-Gongora/_whatsnew.msnw. If this link doesn't work then go to groups.msn.com and search for friends of dr. gongora. Good luck! I have also been researching Dr. Fabio in Brazil. I've heard very good things about him also. I don't know, however, if I want to travel that far away for this surgery.
