Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I've been looking at Real Self daily for 2 months...
I've been looking at Real Self daily for 2 months and am inspired by the testimonials. I'm 44yo, 100lb loss after gastric sleeve (current 5'6" 149lbs), and am looking to get a lower body lift, breast lift + aug, butt lift+ fat transfer, thighs, arms, face and neck lift. As you can see my skin is literally hanging off of me, I have very little actual fat. It's really nice to know there are people out there who understand where I'm at. Thank you!
I decided to go to Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico after meeting one of his previous patients and seeing his beautiful work first hand. She had amazing reviews and I also found a group page on Obesity Help and spoke with more of his patients. All were rave reviews! So I began emailing Dr. Sauceda and he has been incredibly helpful and returns my emails within a day. From what I hear he is very attentive from beginning to end and so far has lived up to this.
I've decided to get the work done at once, although the face/neck lift will be done about 4 days after the body work. He does something called Twilight anesthesia and although I've heard some negatives about this by American doctors, the patients have liked it because there is less stress on the body and recovery than with full anesthesia. Has anyone out there done this much work at one time? How much is too much and why (I'm hoping for responses from people who have actually experienced this and not just opinions)? Anyone have experience with Twilight? I'm debating on waiting on my face and neck. I've weighed pros and cons and have talked to a few people, but am open to encouragement and positive advice. I tolerate pain like a trooper and my health is optimal. Thank you and it's great to meet you! ????

Still deciding dates..
"Playing" with the dough-belly this morning. It's hard to believe this will be gone someday. My husband cracks me up that he likes to play with the skin when we're going to sleep at night. Comfort blanket? Lol still unsure about dates, it's either July 16th or Aug 7th for my massive makeover.
Postponing face and neck
After looking at many pics of my face, I decided to wait on this procedure. I still look pretty decent and when I ask around what others think they basically think I'm crazy because I "look so good". I definitely have a sagging neck and jowls but I think it can wait, so I will look into some products that might help until then. Any suggestions on creams or other products that help tighten skin?
Provider Review
So far Dr. Sauceda has been very helpful and timely. I hear he is a true artist and an excellent surgeon and am excited to become his next canvas!
