WORTH IT$5,990
I’m a 70 year old widow. I’ve recently lost weight, from a size 14 to a 6. That definitely took a toll on my face with sagging. I checked locally, Daytona Beach Fl., for the cost of an eyebrow lift, lower eye lift, face lift and neck lift. Approximately $30,000. I had previously had, at age 49, a forehead lift, upper and lower eyes, face lift and liposuction on my neck. I decided to research overseas options. I found Top Plastic Surgeons Mexico. I could have all my necessary procedures for $5990. That includes, hotel, local transportation and care for 9 days. Hardly a choice. I traveled alone from Orlando to Mexico City. Via Jet Blue, direct flights round for $250. With $6,000 cash. I have lived in Italy, Japan
and Germany so I had little apprehension of traveling outside the USA. Two very important facts so far.
1-I’ve had similar surgery and 2-I’m comfortable with foreigners.
I am more than satisfied at 7 days out. I’m home with another week or so of rest for the swelling and slight black and blue in my chin area to subside.
This trip and procedures are not for everyone. I interacted with 3 other Americans there for their procedures. 2 were nose jobs, with liposuction and tummy tucks. 1 was just a nose job. Very varied opinions. Varied due to lack of knowledge on their procedures. I had previously had plastic surgery so knew what to expect. I had also interacted with non-Americans so didn’t expect fluent English.
My whole hearted advice, understand what you’re doing. The pain involved, being thousands of miles from your home (nest). My procedures were basically pain free, although the swelling and black and blue were expected. A slight headache and tightness due to swelling. If you have pain it’s not because you went to Mexico to have your procedures done it’s the procedure. Don’t get frustrated with the lack of English spoken you’re in Mexico they speak Spanish. I found the people of Mexico wonderful. Extremely friendly. But you get what you give out. I didn’t [RS bleep], I treated my doctor, nurses, hotel staff and drivers with respect. My female doctor took me to the local mall for a haircut. We had dinner, a glass of wine and a good time. My steward at the hotel greeted me every morning with “hello lady, my friend “ believe me when I say if you’re in the right mindset this experience can be delightful. It’s not for everyone. Do your research on your procedures. Don’t have unrealistic expectations. Treat the Mexican people with respect.
If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. But if I had $30,000 + I would have done everything stateside. Always more comfortable in your own surroundings.
I hope this helps in some small way.

You’re in really good hands with Dr. Rendon I only had a facelift but I met another girl here who had of a body makeover and a tummy tuck and it looked really good just make sure you pack a couple of ice bags because they do not furnished them here and you can ask for ice and keep ice on your wounds and it will help you get through it OK but I saw her and she had her breast done and her tummy and it looked fabulous she had her scar across but she was so happy OK and I had it done five 1323 Eva Clark

5/13/23 just had facelift with Dr. Bernardo Rendon it went perfect it was great I love how I look I can already see how it’s gonna look I would recommend him I don’t know about the mixed ones because some people come thinking it’s going to be all modern hospital and I think that’s the part you need to realize you’re getting the money for 7000 instead of 20,000 so you have to work with it just don’t use Xavier the taxi driver he stole $200 from me in my wallet Dr. Bonardo is wonderful you’re in good hands

Well said. I have had work done here in the states,mexico, and Columbia. I speak no spanish but google translate works well. I loved the extra care I received in Mexico and Columbia. Wonderful people and experiences. FYI I was butchered by a board certified plastic surgeon in the states and fixed in Columbia. Go figure. I am looking to have my facelift this may as soon as I make a decision on the dr.

5/13/23 I just had facelifts I’m in D7 and everything that they advertise is true it cost me 7000 for a brow lip facelift here in Mexico the hospital is a little crude it’s older so don’t there’s a price to pay for 7000 it’s not like in the US where they’re brand new hospital rooms and everything that is why he’s able to charge that is less as he does it is very clean is efficient and Dr. Bernardo Rendon knows exactly what he’s doing so I have no worries they will pick you up at the airport and they will take you back to the airport no worries everything is the way they advertise the only issue I had was there as a driver his name is Xavier do not use him the day of after the surgery they put me in a taxi with him and he brought me to my room and he stole $200 in my wallet from me do not use Xavier under no circumstances lock everything up when you go to have surgery and bring some ice up bags because they don’t furnish them here in the hotel room you and I brought two with me so it cause ice is going to be your best friend through all the surgery you need the ice pack so bring a couple of ice packs with you I’m not hardly any clothes because you’re going to be in the hotel room so all you need is pajamas that’s pretty much it and offer to go home and then come in
