Traveling for BL, BA, Full Tummy Tuck, Lipo - Mexico

UPDATED FROM 3xmomma

3 weeks post op

$6,400
Last weeks horrible swelling has gone down. My belly button was infected so I continued antibiotics and was making sure to keep it clean. It's clearing up and healing!! My tummy tuck incision is healing nicely... The sides by my hips are still a little bumpy but getting better... Those stitches are still visible. The stiches above my public area are gone and its closed very nicely... A thin scar line. I'm starting to get back to normal and less zombie like! Haven't had much pain.

you look amazing, I am considering Dr. Suarez for full tummy tuck so its nice to see final results :)
Thanks everyone!! And thanks... the sides of my incision keep stressing me out! I keep having to remind myself I'm only 3 weeks post! But I'm feeling better everyday!
You look fabulous!
U look great hun!!! The lumpys on the sides go away. I freaked over those too but mine are totally gone now :) keep up The wonderful healing!
Wow you look really good congrats on the new you!!! I have been looking into having my tummy tuck with dr.suarez as well and after seeing your pictures I feel a little more confident about him I do confess I'm a big chicken but I have wanted this for a long time and I think I have finally found my doctor thanks to you and many others with great reviews on dr.suarez
Thank you! I had horrible anxiety about the entire thing.... Especially traveling to mexico!!! But I'm really happy with my results so far!
Thanks for all your info, I'm a single mom of 3 , also a nurse. I had my consultation last year but chickened out since my youngest was only 1. All your post have definitely inspired me to go ahead with the full procedure.
Thanks! My youngest is 8 months so recovery has been a little challenging... Luckily I have a lot of people that are able to help while my husband works

13 days post op...SO SWOLLEN!

Tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op. Since yesterday I've been so swollen bellow my incision/my public bone area. I went to my family practice doctor because I was concerned about a seroma.
They did a CT scan at told me
I don't have a seroma. I Emailed my surgeon and they advised more rest and massage.

Anyone else have swelling INCREASE at two weeks? It's making me sad

I should have read here first before relying above lol Totally normal. Sometimes It's worse & stays longer sometimes no swelling. All depends. Try to rest as much as u can. Make sure your eating healthy drinking lots of water & walking around also. It truly gets better with time!
Are you wearing a faja? Aka girdle? Suppose to wear one for 3 months and only have it off for about 45mins in the day. It relieves pressure and keeps u from swelling
Thanks!!!! :) im wearing my compression garment 24/7. When I take it off to wash it I wear an ACE wrap then as soon as it's dry I put it back on! I think I was just a little too active. I looked less swollen this morning.

More pics.

The only incision on my breasts is the right nipple from the lift. Implants were put in during the tummy tuck for minimal scaring/incisions.

Swollen and puffy today.

Results look great. You said you paid 6400 for all the work you had done?
Thanks! And yes, that is correct!
You look really good happy healing keep us up dated on your recovery. I'm still trying to decide if I should go with dr jaime campo león or with luis suarez.
Thank you! I will
U look amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Well now I'm super swollen :( wahhhhh! It's bumming me out. I'm trying to tell myself it'll get better with time
It does get better with time. Some women swell Howard's of 6 months to a year. Some don't swell at all. I still get swollen but have basically narrowed it down to if I eat high salt foods or if I push myself too hard (example : forking an entire round bale Of straw by hand Into a shelter... I expandes into a swollen balloon ready to pop the next day) so try to eliminate what u did the day prior & see if that helps? Swelling is also the bodies self defense mechanism so It Might just need time To adjust also! Either way it WILL get better :) hotttttie!
Howard's = upwards. Sorry
