Plastic Surgery Abroad...Buyer Beware
I appreciate the opportunity to view your thoughts and am respectful of the preliminary research you have done. But bargain hunting for surgery overseas can be extremely dangerous. While I appreciate your trying to get the best work done that your budget allows, it would be unethical for me to not warn you that, although your surgeon might be skilled, in many countries the standards of care and technological quality control can be much less stringent than in the United States....

Multiple operations overseas is Russian Roulette with your life!
Sure, there are great surgeons in every major country, but there is no shortage of great plastic surgeons in San Francisco either. I know it sounds exotic and exciting to have surgery in a spa/vacation setting and then return home with a total body makeover! You can't really be saving that much money (maybe even spending more!) once you factor in the air flight, motel, taxi, and meals, not to mention the cost of a companion to care for you (or were you going to leave that to the...

That's just plain dumb.
You appear young and healthy and I don't doubt the quality of your surgeon, post op care or future results. but, and this is a big but, no pun intended, you cannot do that amount of surgery and travel without increasing your risk of serious complications. I mean serious life threatening complications. If your surgeon thinks it is ok then he is a not aware of the risk or worse not interested enough in you to do the right thing. go, do the surgery, but stay at least 1, preferably 2 weeks...

Multiple procedures done in another country
Having surgery outside of the US can be done, however, should you have a complication, you will not be able to see your surgeon. I just returned from a plastic surgery conference in Colombia and realize there is a lot of plastic surgery performed in South America. However if you live in the San Francisco area, that is quite a distance to go and the follow up will not be as close as if you had your procedure done in the US.
I would also take into consideration the time you will be staying...

Medical tourism
I do not think there is anything wrong with your going to Brazil to have your surgery as long as you use the same due diligence you would use in choosing a surgeon at your home city. I have been to Brazil many times and did some of my training there so I know they have top rated surgeons there in multiple fields of surgery.
Your posted photos show a lot of stretch marks below the belly button level but not much excess abdominal skin or fat, some love handles fat deposits and breasts with...

Medical tourism
First, I would caution about traveling very far to have surgery. Who is going to perform your follow-up care? What if you have a complication? As for the size of the implants, it is difficult to suggest an implant for you without an exam.

Plastic surgery tourism
The opinion of the most of the U.S Board certified plastic surgeons is not positive because of the complications that we see from plastic surgery tourism. You can get great results in other countries. There are very good plastic surgeons all over the world. The main concerns are the situations that you may get complications during the surgery or after. If you have infection,capsular contracture or bad results, what would be you options. The level of medical care is the highest in U.S and...

Out of the United States Surgery
Getting surgery out of the USA is an absurd idea. In the San Francisco Bay Area there are many many fine surgeons capable of doing these operations as well as they can be done any where in the world. Where are you going to go when complications arise.? Are you then going to go to a Bay Area surgeon for post op care and repair. Most USA surgeons follow and care for their patients for a full year. Are you going to then fly back and forth to Brazil? You are...

Flying to Brazil for surgery
Well, you are flying out of the country for a lot of surgery to be done at the same time, and you are asking basic questions that should be answered by your surgeon. And you should also ask who will take care of you should you have problems in the days, weeks, and months after your surgery, as many plastic surgeons in the U.S. will not want to step in and handle complications in such cases. Good luck.
