WORTH IT$17,600
I'm stoked I was able to work with the staff and lower the price to $17.6! My hubby has worked out a plan that will allow us to pay it cash which means we get a 5% off on top of that. I am so happy and relieved at the same time. Dr. Guerra really made me feel comfortable and I know I will be in excellent hands. He was referred to me by a friend who was happy with her results & I've read nothing but 5 star reviews from him! My mommy makeover is less then 2 short months away! Woohoo!!!!

I am so sorry for the tragedy in your procedure. That has to be a total nightmare. HMMMMMM, I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck, Breast lift, an Augmentation in just 4 weeks with Dr. Gaspar as well. I am kind of reluctant after reading this post. I am getting small implants 300cc in each breast. Other then your breast issue's with the implant how is your TT healing? Maybe I will just get my TT, breast lift and get the implant put in later in the United States. Can you please tell me about your tummy tuck recovery thus far?

dr manjarrez was just named best plastic surgeon in latin america, he may be a little more expensive than the other mexican doctors, but he does the most best work, and goes for natural look, which is classy

DR. MANJARREZ was named the best plastic surgeon in Latin America! He is recognized by the american society of plastic surgery, and of Mexico also! he is the best option
July 13, 2012
don't go with another doctor just because he is cheaper, dr. manjarrez may be a little expensive, but does an excellent job, and has very good reviews!
July 13, 2012
Dfm- where did u find the reviews? I ask because when I was seriously considering getting my mommy makeover in Mexicali I looked everywhere online and there was nothing. I actually had a consultation with Dr. Manjarrez & although he is a nice person he made me feel like I would not be happy with my results. He just didnt give out that confidence. He also wanted me to do 200cc implants (why get implants then? Lol). He also refused to show me any before & after pics from his patients or even testimonials. He also said he didnt do submuscular implants because they would look terrible... All of those reasons are why I chose not to go with him. I'm very happy with my results that I got from a different Dr.- my Submuscular implants look and feel awesome!

is submuscal mean under the muscle?? i'm sure it does. please let m know!

I am planning on having a BA with Dr. Manjarrez next week does any one have any advise or a past experience with him?

I had a TT, breast lift with implants and lipo with Dr Luque in mexicali and I was very pleased. Its the best thing I ever did. My waist and Breast get the most attention, lol

So I had a consultation on Monday here in AZ for a second opinion & I LOVED the PS! I felt so comfortable with him & left his office not just feeling but KNOWING that if I went with him I would have outstanding results. The problem is, it's alooooot of money. $18,500. I was expecting less being that I'm only 120 pounds but I was off the mark. This is such a hard decision & I don't know what to do :(. Any ideas on how to come up with an extra $11K in 2 months? Lol... I don't want to finance that much money but don't see an alternative.

Azerika- Financing works great!!! I did that the first time I ever had plastic surgery. After this horror that im still going through i recommend Go with the American doctors. Also negotiate the price. Not everything set in stone.
I'm still looking for my new surgeon, although I'm wary of the whole thing. But it has to be done. No choice.
April 11, 2012
Hi Ms Rosa...how ru doing?? What happen what went wrong??
April 11, 2012
Apparently picking a doctor outside the states was the first bad choice. I know I sound so negative and it's usually not me. But that's probably what went wrong. Anything else I'd say would just be more harsh and at this point I feel people gonna do as they wish regardless of the risk. So no sense in me revealing myself any further. It only hurts me in the long run. Reliving this tragedy.

I am very interested to have a surgery tummy tuck-brazilian buttocks..a friend of mine has her surgery with dr.juan luque she looks great,..I need find more about dr..in mexicaly..
July 9, 2012
Dont do it!!!
Save more money and stay in America. I had to learn the hard way.
Just had my aug and breast lift in America last Monday. I am still healing, but I am very well. No infection like I had with a doctor in Mexicali.
If you are in MN dr Robert wilke is absolutely an artist. Mexicali docs simply want your money. Nothing more. I can testify.
July 10, 2012
whatever you do dont go with Dr. Gaspar. I am 3 weeks post op and i hate my tummy tuck. Unlike MsRosa my breast are okay but my Tummy Tuck I am very unhappy with the results. I agree, that the Mexicali Family Hospital main concern is the U.S dollars and thats the only part of the business they are concerned with. Your after care and follow up is a total non factor and they do very little to answer any concerns you have once you entire back into the states. They have my money and I know i will have to have a revision and have to pay a surgeon in America.

bizzybody, I just read your blog. I haven't logged in here in quite a while! So sorry you are not happy with your results. I looked at your before and after pics, it looks like you have some swelling going on. I was really close to going with Gaspar too, I'm glad I listened to my gut and decided not to. I went with a board certified surgeon here in my state and am very happy with my results. I hope once your swelling goes down you feel better about your results. It's a lot of money to not be happy :( Sometimes we are our own worst critics though! To me, you look good in your pics, just a little swollen.
April 11, 2012
I did negotiate, they originally wanted $20,500! So I guess 2K less is an improvement, still a lot of money & way over my budget. Things at my husbands job are a little rocky & don't know what the future will bring there. If he loses his job (high possibility) & we have this new debt it's going to be a lot on his shoulders. Idk... :(
April 11, 2012
Seems like decision in this world become harder each day. With your husband possibly losing his job and the four children you have. Should surgery be a thought at this point? Just a question. No judging here.
April 11, 2012
I've considered postponing it, but my husband feels like its now or never. Luckily I'm working too, so if he were to lose his job (God forbid) we do have a back up source of income. But things would be tight until he were to find another job. Maybe we are being paranoid about it, idk... I have 3 kids :)

Hi, I know its been a while from this post. But I need to ask you since I'm scheduled to have PS with Dr. Manjarrez.
What made you decide not to go with him for surgery?
