Hi, I sought a quote in Mexico from a board certified plastic doctor but im feeling a lot of anxiety. I have had many surgeries but no plastic. I want a tummy tuck via a 360 lower body lift and breast lift but am hesitant.

Answer: Timing of surgery This is an excellent question! Your safety is the number one priority in surgery. I encourage you to first take control of your health. You want to work with your primary care doctor and cardiologist to achieve a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Once you have reached your goal and are able to maintain it you are ready to consider plastic surgery. I encourage you to visit with board certified plastic surgeons near you for your health and safety when you have reached this step.

Answer: Multiple, extensive surgeries done abroad? Considering your general health and extensive procedures that you would like to do, it would be wise to reconsider doing any of these surgeries abroad. What happens if you develop complications like bleeding, severe infection, skin necrosis, complications that are relatively frequent with these surgeries in candidates which have similar health status like yours. These may require prolonged hospitalizations, specialized and prolonged medical care. Do you think you will get it for free in Mexico? Without trying to be rude, I would strongly advise against doing these surgeries abroad and far from your home. Good luck.
