Just returned from the Dermatologist Office

I went in for my yearly full body check for moles etc...Since a lot has changed since my last visit, I wondered what she would think since my lower body now had a scar going all the way around. Well she could not believe it's been less than a year since surgery since my scars are hardly even noticeable. She remarked about what a great healer my body was. I believe most of it goes to what a great surgeon I had.

Three months out, could be three years out....

Thankfully I feel 100% healed, no signs what so ever that I recently had surgery. As I said it could be three years rather than 3 months...I just learned that the Hyperbaric treatment costs that were submitted to my insurance company for my after care were approved and all the money I paid were applied to my large deductible. They were sent in as wound care, and it was approved so please if you are planning a large procedure and you want to assure a good healing, please consider doing a few hyperbaric treatments it will make a great difference. Just google hyperbaric treatments for your area and see if there are any clinics close by. The one I went to was a private clinic that many of the local Plastic Surgeons use for their patients.

Pricing for Surgery in Mexico

This is a subject that I have steered away from until now. I would like to say a few things on the subject. When I had surgery last year at another clinic I stated the prices that I was quoted when I first signed up to go but was it the price I paid? No, there were so many additional costs, such as day of surgery labs, EKG's, anesthesia, garments, pain meds, implants, and of course recovery. I don't like having those prices listed on those reviews because I feel it gives a false sense of cost. Because of all of that I decided to stay away from the money aspect when reviewing this surgery. I don't want to list a certain price then have someone upset that they were quoted a different price as each surgery is unique. Some people require more work than others even doing the same type of surgery, thus the difference in price. I will tell you this though, this time with Dr. Gutierrez the price I paid covered all the extras with the exception of my after care. I can tell you that Dr. G's prices fall right in line with other reputable surgeons in Tijuana. It is super easy to get a specific price quote from the good doctor, simply email them what you are interested in having done and they will tell you how and what to take pictures of. You then email them the photos and Dr. G will review them and send you a quote. No pressure, should you want to pursue it you then contact them, they will not contact you again, unless you request it. It is a very easy process. I hope you all understand my feelings on this subject. Thanks...

After spending nearly a year looking for just the right Board Certified, Plastic Surgeon to perform my lower body lift, I decided to take a chance and follow that inner voice inside that was leading me to Dr. Victor Gutierrez in Tijuana Mexico. Trained in Israel, where the standards are so very high, I was intrigued.... Previously I had gone to a much larger, fancier clinic for the first procedures that I had done, the year before, and although I really loved the clinic and the other doctor, I found my work not to be up to standard it should have been. How did I learn this, well every PS I consulted for the upcoming LBL surgery, all told me I needed to look into revisions. Then when I spoke to Dr. Gutierrez he offered to fix some of these problems so I didn't have to go back to the original PS. That was a really nice gesture, but not enough to sway me as now I had become very picky about the cut lines and the sewing, all learned the hard way. I started looking at his results, and personally calling his patients, they all told the same story about a Surgeon, who becomes more like family member, and cares for you in such a manor. One who rather than just send a driver personally picks you up at the Airport. Spending several hours doing a mark up, checking and rechecking. And one who will not take chances by "doing whatever" a patient requests but rather takes the time to explain why certain things should or should not be done. A Doctor that takes his time to make the best cuts possible and takes his time with the sewing so you look perfect. And one who simply will not operate on you if your blood levels are just not where they should be. You Know you are in very confident hands. And most incredibly a doctor that operates in such a manor that he says you will not be in pain. So could all this really be true? I knew the pictures did not lie, and I trusted what these patients told me so I took a leap of faith and went with a Doctor that does not operate out of a big fancy clinic, but rather a nice smaller clinic that has everything needed for a great outcome. I could not be happier, I took a chance on a doctor who may not have as many reviews as other Doctors but one who has the highest rating from all his patients. I found everything these previous patients had told to be true and even the part about the pain. I am three days out from surgery and feeling great. I could not be happier. My aftercare is wonderful too, the nurses take the best care of me, couldn't be better...Now I must spend some time to talk about his patient coordinator Elsa, she is the sweetest, nicest person that will go the extra mile, to make sure your every need is taken care of. This is not a 9 to 5 job for her, she literally takes her work home with her as she is available 24/7 for what ever you need before, during and after your surgery when you return home. I promise if you decide to make Dr Victor Gutierrez your Plastic Surgeon, you will not be disappointed!
