WORTH IT
I decided DR was outside my comfort zone. After hours of Internet sleuthing and emailing Drs I found Alicua Sigler in Tijuana. Her email responses to me were so spot on I knew my search was over. I ended up having a lower and mid facelift, lip lift (life changing!) and corner brow lift. I thought I might need my eyes done but she said Brow was only needed and she was right.

I also had implants and full breast lift. It took two surgeries, two separate trips because she would not do everything at once. I was crazy for thinking that was possible!

I saw her at two different clinics. Both were immaculate with great nurses and outstanding anesthesiologist's. I spent the night at the clinic both times and the care was great.

I had a car service pick me up from the San Diego airport and drop me off at the GORGEOUS Lucerna Hotel about 30 minutes later. Concierge set me up with a great massage, pedicure down the street. Had a fabulous dinner at the hotel and walked about 7 minutes in the morning to Alicia's office. Hotel driver would have taken me but it was beautiful out and I felt so safe. Area is nice but of course I knew not to be showy. Sweatpants, long sleeved tee and overnight bag.

The whole experience was great and I'll go back. Alicia is gorgeous herself, super nice with a very calming personality. I wanted to look better, but natural, which is exactly what I got. I pretty much told her to do what she thought was right and I'm so glad I did. The lip lift is one of her signature procedures I believe, such a simple procedure but what a huge impact! I'm not sure of the breakdown price wise for each procedure but it was crazy reasonable for outstanding work. There's a price list on her website that seems pretty spot on with what I paid. Highly recommended!!!

I don't. I wish I took before pics to compare but before the surgery I went out of my way to avoid having my pic taken. I'm sure she has pics she could show you. Her work is very natural.

Although ideally both "before" photos and "after" photos are available, "after" photos alone can be of great value even without "before" photos.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier! Shes fabulous with anything face. She won't over do. Both me and my friend had implants and full BL last year and love the results. She did bullhorn lip lifts on both of us and it looks better then any injection ever could.

I had a revision lip-lift from Dr. Sigler in November to repair what a Beverly Hills doctor had done in May, and a corner lip-lift last month (Jan. 2016). She did a remarkable job, and I couldn't be more pleased with her work. AND .... her prices are a fraction of what doctors in Beverly Hills/Los Angeles charge.

Thank you for sharing your journey with RS. I am also interested in Dr. Sigler for a lip lift and corner lip lift. May I ask how many mm was your philtrum before the surgery and how many mm is it now? Is it at all possible to privately be sent a photo of just your lips? How do your scars appear at this time which is about one month post-op? Again thank you for sharing with us and I'm sure you look fabulous.

Hi Harmonious1, I am just now seeing your comment for the first time. My story is a little more complicated, because I went to Dr. Sigler AFTER a Beverly Hills doctor (who was on Rodeo Dr. at the time) had really botched my lip-lift. Dr. Sigler fixed it! The first doctor had the columella (I think that's what you call the vertical columns above the center of the lips) way off center, and it looked really weird, as you can imagine. Then he tried to blame it on my nose being crooked, which was the first time I had ever seen or heard such a thing (no, my nose isn't crooked). He wanted to charge me nearly $8000 to fix it, after having payed nearly that much to have the procedure done the first time. He had taken 7mm, and because Dr. Sigler was repairing another doctor's work she couldn't do the job without taking another 4 mm, which adds up to a total of 11mm combined. I was afraid that might be too much, (I'm a guy, so I especially don't want pouty, "bunny rabbit" lips), but I couldn't have crooked lips, so I felt I had no choice, but everything has turned out just great. I could have saved myself a lot of money and anxiety if I had gone to Dr. Sigler in the first place, but I didn't know about her until I read about her here on RealSelf. Ironically, I learned about RealSelf when the Beverly Hills doctor asked me to write a review of him on this site. I haven't done that, and he better be glad I haven't!
I don't have pics to show you so you can compare, mostly because Dr. Sigler took the shots and, although I've asked her a couple of times to send them to me, she hasn't done it yet. I should get on her to do that, because they would show how good her work is, but I'm sure it's just an oversight on her part.
So based on my wonderful experience I say "go for it" with Dr. Sigler. Let me know if I can give you any more info or tips.

Have to change my date : (

I had to go out of town for a week and I don't think its a good idea to miss work again just 3 weeks later so Im going to move my date just a few weeks (hopefully) out to mid July. I know it will be hot as hell in July but Im going to call Cabrals office and make sure he will be there before I change my flight and take the time off work. Im hoping that maybe his schedule won't be so crazy because who the heck wants to go to an island in July? Does anyone know if Cabral even has a slow season? Im anxious to do this because RS and his Instagram has taken over my life!

DID YOU EVER MAKE IT TO CABRAL? HOW DID IT GO?

I wish people would be kind enough to let us know how things go. I have read dozens of posts with all the planning but hardly anyone updates with reviews afterword. I have spent countless hours looking for an actual person that left feedback after a trip abroad for facelift. I am afraid that if I go to the actual surgeons page that the reviews are more likely to be faked. I went to Cancun in 2009 for some work and was very pleased. But I cannot recall the doctors name. Will someone please share there results? You do not have to share photos but a description of the experience would be so helpful. I want to go for a mid-face lift and lateral forehead lift with extensive facial fat grafting. Any ideas?

Ive been obsessed with this site especially since I have a Cabral appointment. Im a little (lot!) nervous about being charged more once Im there. I am reading reviews about huge differences in consultation, bloodwork, faja prices. I will call to get the actual prices if they will give them, but I wish Cabral would have sent them to me when I asked. I don't speak a work of spanish and Im worried I will be taken advantage of. When I say that I am NOT speaking of the country in general. I am speaking of insiders at Cipla that may overcharge me simply because that think they can once Im there. I'll call them on this but I hate knowing I most likely won't have the info on my phone.
