So excited for this surgery. I had a gastric sleeve in 2014, much needed circumferential tummy tuck and liposuction with fat transfer in 2015. This will be the final icing on the cake to get my boobs done.

I LOVED my surgeon for my tummy tuck, however I felt her specialty for tummy tucks and not as much for breasts. Not that I thought she would do a horrible job, but my breasts are not your typical reduction or lift and so I felt that with spending the money it was worth going with someone who specializes in breasts over tummy tucks. This is how I came to decide on Dr. Carmona. He was the first Mexican plastic surgeon said I did not need implants. Yes, I want nice boobs when all is said and done, but the idea of getting implants while getting a reduction seemed crazy to me. I also wasn't too fond of having the actual implants in and dealing with them down the road. So when Dr. Carmona said I had enough volume to work with, I was sold.

This is my third surgery in Mexico, and somehow it really doesn't get easier. To be honest though, surgery in the US would still have me nervous. However after 2 surgeries in Mexico, I am certainly very confident in going to Mexico for surgery. The facilities have always been beyond clean, and the doctors truly care and love what they do. I hate the way I go over EVERY LAST "What if...???" scenario.

I am excited that Dr. Carmona is in Cancun. My other 2 surgeries were in Tijuana. I am also looking forward to a MUCH easier recovery than the circumferential tummy tuck. Being able to walk after this surgery is a huge bonus.

I am excited for the adventure and a little mom vacation.

Please keep us posted Kitty! I will love to see your pictures..... and I very much appreciate your comparison of TJ with Cancun. I am considering Dr. Carmona and I will be paying attention to everything you will be so kind to share.

All the best with your upcoming procedure! I can't wait to hear!

The cost of $7,000 is a little high for Mx. though, isn't it?
February 7, 2016
Please may I ask,, who did your TT?
February 7, 2016
Yes, $7,000 was a little more than Tijuana. However it is a complete package and nothing else I need to pay over hotel and flights. This makes it almost the same price. Things you get with Dr. Carmona that were perks in my eyes were the actual coordinator picks you up at the airport. They will send their nurse to the hotel once a day to check on me. The surgery is done in an Amerimed hospital. And lastly I need scar revision on a scar from skin cancer removal and he will do that for free. So all in all for me it was pretty well the same price. I prefer to not mention my surgeon on my tummy tuck on this review.

What do you want to have done? If it is a tummy tuck I will private message you the awesome doctor in Tijuana I went to.
February 10, 2016
Yes, I am considering a TT...and I have a few facial issues to handle first, I think. I would love to know who your TT surgeon was...and what the result has been. Thanks so much!

I hope that you love Dr. Carmona. He specializes in and loves doing breast reductions. Please message me if you want more info. My lift was done two months ago today.

Congrats on your surgery. Hopefully you are healing well. I am looking forward to the surgery being done and being on the road to recovery. I am glad to hear he loves doing breast reductions...that was why I picked him. It is nice to hear that from a former patient and not just from him.

Dr. Carmona has his work cut out for him on this surgery. The good part of such uneven breast is I can't imagine them being anything worse than they are now...so they can only get better. Can not wait to be able to properly bra shop, help ease some of my neck and back pain and not need bras to work a miracle to hide these puppies. Cleavage here we come and non full coverage bras!! Also can not wait to have the liposuction done under my arms/side boob and love handles.

Tomorrow I head to Cancun!

kitty2222
Still nervous and it is my 3rd trip to Mexico for surgery...will be so glad to make it to Cancun and to wake up after surgery and all went well.

My anxiety has been HORRIBLE. I have a history of basal cell carcinoma, so of course I get a new spot that just won't go away...so I headed to the walk in yesterday to ease my mind the doctor only thought it was an ingrown hair. While at the clinic, I had a slight fever of 100.1. While waiting for the doctor I emailed Danny to see if this was an issue. By the time I was finished at my appointment, Danny had spoken to both Dr. Carmona and the anesthesiologist to check. All was good and they weren't concerned. Both my kids have been sick, son actually has a fever. Thankfully the doctor said if I have no symptoms, I probably won't get sick at this point...so hoping this is true. Come hell or high water I want this DONE!!

Then it was time to find my passport...it was a frantic hour of FREAKING out I lost it in the move. Thankfully my wonderful husband stayed calm and found it...exactly where I thought it was, but couldn't find it...my mind is a MESS.

Perhaps the saddest news of he day was that Danny is taking a medical leave and I won't actually meet her in Cancun. However Christina the nurse will pick me up. Wishing Danny all the best with her health and glad she could take some time to take care of herself.

Excited for some "fun" in the sun and new boobs!!

So I just read an article forum advance wound care . Com and it said that it needs to be Manuka honey. Is that the type you are using?
March 18, 2016
Yes, hoping I can find it at whole foods.
