By the way, Dr. Horacio Mayer leaves you at the Hospital Italiano for one day and one night. He prefers it that way to make sure there is no strain on your incision after the surgery. I liked that a lot, and that hospital is one of the best doen there. Dr. S does not. You go home 4 hours after the surgery. I lived 10 minutes from the Clinica Golf so this was not an issue for me, plus I had help at home. For someone who does not have these advantages, I would definetely recommend staying at the hospital one night. I can't find Dr. S's contact info. I know he works at a place called keep your beauty in Buenos Aires, in the neighborhood of "la imprenta." Good luck. If I find his contact info I will let you know.

Hello everyone, I have been so busy and could not keep you posted. So here it is: The tummy tuck is great, I planned on hitting the gyn pretty hard and get the rest of my body in shape without my surgeon, but I have been traveling and such. So though I have not done many abs lately the tummy tuck looks great. There is one complaint. The surgeon used regular surgical thread (he said that some people develop allergies to the absorvable ones) and because I have darker complection, I can see the scar. It does not look awful but I have the feeling that most scars are almost invisible. So make sure your dr uses the latest on surgical thread that will not leave scars, especially if you have olive skin. Tha other thing is that since I had a mini tummy tuck and I had two ugly umbilical hernia scars plus an emergency c-section scar down there, the surgeon had to cut pretty low on the abdomen, about 1 or 2 inches lower than usual (it is nice not to have 3 ugly scars like I did before). This means that some of the fatty tissue that belonged closer to the belly button now sits lower in the abdomen. Why do I mention this? Because (though not even my husbad notices) though I am pretty slim there I can see extra fat there when I put on a little weight, before the surgery I dont' remember noticing this. It really isn't an issue, when I put on a swimsuit I look great, and there is no extra skin hanging over the top of the bikini. Anyway, now that I mentioned these two issues I must say that I am super happy with the results and I would do it again.

I see lots of you asking for my PS info. I went to several before I chose one but these two are the best. Horacio Meyer--he trained in Brazil with some surgeon who is supposed to be an eminence in plastic surgery. He has a very friendly website. You can google him and will find it. He was out of town when I needed to do the surgery and that is why he did not operate on me. I would have chosen him first. He is excellent and so through. He speaks good english and even did an internship at Harvard Medical Center in Boston. He truly is a great PS.

Dr. {edited - provider information is shown above the review}. He did my surgery. He is older than Horacio and has lots of experience. He is just kind and compassionate. Takes good care of his patients. Most girls jut love him for his kind personality. He works at a place called: Keep your beauty, you can google it and you will find him. At the center there is another guy who does the mesotherapy, and other procedures outside of the operating room. I liked him, but like I said Iwished he had not used surgical thread on me. Anyway, I hope this helps. I loved Buenos Aires. I know that right now most surgeons are pretty motivated to operate as the economy is fragile down there. So it is a good time to do it. Good luck!
