I was asked about hematoma's & the healing process. Yes, I did have hematoma's in my neck & nose & they will slow up the healing process. It's been 5 months now & the stingling & hurt to the touch of my face has gone down to a tingling sensation at this point. That the Lumps, bumps, & bruisning will all smooth out. It just takes time. The healing process is long but worth it if it's done right the first time. If you're going out of the country to have this done I have a list of things to think about, how to heal quicker, what to buy while there, & how to save some money. Basically the DO'S & DON'Ts based on my mistakes & how I'd do it differently.

Thank you very much for your latest update about the hematomas that you developed after surgery and also for writing a great review!

I've read through your review twice and can't find any reference to how long your surgery was. How many hours did it take to do 5 surgeries at all once? Thanks again. :)

There is so much suspicious activity associated with this place in Can Cun. I know that Sherie Burke, the facilitator fraudulently writes the reviews. It is found out that no one is getting anything more than an overpriced thread lift which will fail over time.

Hi greenblackpurple - Oh no, I don't see your facelift pictures anymore. Is there a reason you removed them? I'm a little confused by location of your surgery at the top of your review. Did you have your surgery in Cancun or the USA?

I felt your pictures were extremely helpful as they revealed a detailed timeline of your experience and how much bruising/swelling/lumps you had during your recovery. I hope your add them back. Based on the degree of your bruising did you have any hematomas develop after your surgery?

Not sure why you are questioning why she removed her photos? It seems you are not congratulating her on success . Its all about the bruising/swelling and lumps...
Seems you want to find out where she had her surgery? Is very important.

Do yourself a favor and find another hobby. You're behaving like a horrible TROLL. I made it very clear in my comment why I thought her pictures were helpful and simply asked why she decided to remove them.

It's impossible to congratulate someone on their facelift 'success' when you have no idea what they look like. You need pictures for that, right?{eyeball roll}

My Surgeries came in a package deal of $10,500 due to me having a number of procedures. The Tummy Tuck was just one of them.

I am 61 years old & I had been tiny almost all my life, 106 to 110lbs. I wore that bikini top until I was almost 50 years old. I had always had a nice body until I was injured and put on steroids (prednisone). My body & face on that medication were so swollen up, like a Balloon / Marshmellow and I gained a ton of weight because of the prednisone. Then I just seemed to give up & not care anymore, gained more weight & went from 106 lbs. up to 213 lbs. I got tired of the way I was looking, started to exercise, & diet. I firmed up my core(abs), and lost 77lbs over 1 year & 3 months, scheduled my 5 surgeries & just went for it.

I had my surgeries April 17,2012, 8 weeks ago. Now because of the weight lose I now need my Inner Thighs, Arms, & Breast Lifted. Remember, You've come this far, Never let yourself go from this point on, because your worth it (that is if your done having babies).

I still tape my incision & wear my 2ND stage body suit. It's time to start massaging my Tummy Tuck scar. I am in desperate need of that breast, arm, & inner thigh lift due to the weight loss.

I think for 2 months out, my tummy is looking pretty darn good for a 61 year old & I'm actually LOVING IT. It's to bad I'm not in my 30's again, I would be going out to the beach this summer in my bikini. The bikini top I have on is the last one I ever wore, DAMN IT, atleast I kept it. After the weight gain, I just never got back out there, maybe someday (with more surgeries) but by then I'll be looking for a 90 year old man.

Well, better late than never. I had to tell my daughter not to worry, I won't be going out anywhere in my yoga out fit or in that bikini top. It's just that I got tired of holding those 2 big droopy tubers up, I call boobs, while taking pictures of my Tummy Tuck to post.

Let me know if you want to know where specifically I had this done & who to contact for information on this wonderful Surgeon & Patient Facilitaor in Mexico.
I have already written a list on the do's & don'ts, what to take & buy while out of the country having Plastic Surgery.
What an experience, you just never know until you go through it.

Take Care & Heal Well

I'm here now and pretty bruised myself, Not quite as bad as you but running a close second. So funny what you said about the children at the clinic because when I was leaving a little girl was starring at me pretty wide eyed so I tried to calm her by saying hello and just made it worse. It was kinda funny, But wanted to thank you for your story it's quite encouraging and I needed that right about now. Your afters are fantastic.

Thank you for commenting. Hope everything is going well for you. It's almost 2:30 am & I'm about ready to go to bed so I haven't had a chance to go through the site to look for your posts. Where did you have it done? Do you have any pictures posted?
Well I've got to work early in the morning, got to go before I fall over.
Take care & heal well

Still have tingling & some pain in my face & my tt scar is looking a little better. Still swollen & numb in the tummy but just not as much. Let me know how you're doing, waiting to hear.
