I would be very careful having multiple procedures in Mexico. We just finished filming an episode which will air in July or August about a patient who went there, had a complication,, came back to the Unites States and spent six months trying to find a doctor here who would take care of her. The complications from a botched surgery can be much more difficult and expensive to treat than the initial surgery. You should explore prices in your community - you might be surprised, especiall in thes economy! - the prices may not be that different than you will pay in Mexico. Finally, board certification is not equivalent to saying that you picked a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. If you would like you could speak to the patient who had the horrific experience in Mexico by calling the office and we can arrange it. If you have already made your decision, best of luck!
Be very cautious
W. Tracy Hankins, MD answers: Advice for multiple procedures in Mexico?
I am going to have a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation done at the same time with a board-certified doctor in Mexico. He says he can also do minor Liposuction and inject the fat in the buttocks to give me a more smooth look, he says this is included on all tummy tuck patients if they wish to do so, but I am a little nervous. Is it possible to have the three procedures done, along with the Lipo and Brazilian Butt Lift?
