I had my tummy tuck done on May 27,2008 and so far I love the results a lot of people complain about the pain to me it wasnt that bad the drains is what hurt the most but after they came out i was fine i was standing straight up in a week and a half and stop taking pain meds 3rd day not a pill popper. I am only 23 still in college but had a child young so the money i saved in mexico helped me alot.

Great review?

I had my TT done in Bolivia in Santa Cruz;; I would have had the Tummy Tuck a long time ago if I had known how much better I would feel about myself, (but I couldn't afford it in the US because of the high cost of this surgery.. so I decide to go to Bolivia).
In Houston the cost of a TT is about 9000US$.. In Bolivia I paid 2600US$ and the results are amazing!!! I can now wear clothes that actually fit. I used to have to buy clothes that were big enough to disguise my midsection and would in turn be too big everywhere else, causing me to look and feel 'dumpy'. I can actually breath in my jeans!!!! By having a tummy tuck procedure, a whole new world has opened up for me. I feel better about the way I look which has given me more confidence to shed my clothes and actually be proud of my body once again. I highly recommend this surgery.

You need to spend at least two weeks there so the doctor can monitor your progress.

Sennzamb if you plan on having more children it may be premature to have your tummy done.

I had my TT done by Dr. Meza in Cuernavaca and am *very* happy with my results. The scar was quite visible at first (although it is positioned so it can be covered by lingerie or bikini). In my case I had already had a C-section so... anyway, the scar is not as noticeable one year later but that is definitely a consideration if you are only 21.
