My make a wish come true! It was clear that my situation was only going to get worse with age and gravity, I lost some weight but with working out, eating better, it is a losing battle, the war wounds of childbearing, repeated weight losses and gains,poor skin elasticity and age my desire to change for the better led me to plastics. Thru what I call pure luck, a series of events led me to having my mind set on a humble and talented Dr. by the name of Irving Rodriguez! The event was aided by an all inclusive stay at the amazing Casa del Angel with skilled nurses and healthy healing food with all the meds garments and transportation to make your stay in Mexico worry free. I highly recommend the experience you owe it to yourself to discover what is a life changing experience that is thoroughly professional and compassionate to benefit your mind body and spirit!

Hi, I hope this isn't a long post. I have been seriously considering a MM. I am 69 5'3' 139#. First cost I have consulted with a few doctors here in Calif. and cost was twice as much. I know I should not consider cost but so many have gone to TJ with amazing results. Just writing this my stomach is jiggery and hands tense. Sounds silly but it's a big decision to consider Mex. also I read through his experience 1 year it says and not too many surgeries. Did you have apprehension. Did people think you were crazy to do it there? I can afford here but being recently separated it may impact my financial security for awhile. I am so nervous about the whole thing. I keep going back and forth about the decision on whom I should go with. What made you make the decision to go to Mex. instead of in the US.? I probably have more questions that I can't think of at the moment. I read in the posts of different women how unhappy they are with their bodies and how elated they are after, I want to be there. Last year I was very sick and went down to 125# and I strutted around with my shirt tucked in and smiled from ear to ear at the compliments. But, I still knew I had that loose hanging skin behind the clothes. I knew I didn't want anyone to see it. Being that my husband had left me there was no way , I felt comfortable eventually finding someone else. I'm not even interested considering it. My self esteem kind of hit rock bottom. I want to do this for me, if only to look good in clothes. I kind of feel at my age this will be my last chance to do this type of surgery, I want to do it and to heck with anyone who makes negative comments or tells me in so many words ....but your 69 why now? Anyway thanks for reading this and any pointers to help me get over the decision making hump would be appreciated. You look damn good. I am extremely happy for you.

Hi goodlookin. I am so excited for you! Go for it! The "blank" with anyone who is negative. You deserve to start new and feel great about it to. I am 58 on March 19th, and I had those same feelings. Sometimes thinking that I don't deserve it. But you know what? We all do! I'll be booking my date today, and I would love to meet you in recovery on our way to our new self.

One of your pictures of before looks just like I did. I had to go to a B cup in order for insurance to pay. And to be honest I like them after carrying around 38 DD for most of my adult life.

Tranformation by Dr. Irving Rodriguez
8 and a half hour surgery, I don't remember a thing, he said he removed 4 1/2 lbs of skin and that much of fat as well. Such a shock to the system, I had tremendous pain in my right thigh, burning like crazy, dr. said it was nerves he cut and it would take a couple of weeks to subside, it flares up when I'm swelling bad but it is getting better 1 month po. I got the worst flu the day of my return , had a high fever and cough that is still hanging on 2 weeks now, thought it would be the worst to get a cough and here I am.. Went to my pcp and she gave me some strong cough syrup and an inhaler, I've just felt horrible trying to recover being sick. Now I'm struggling with a nipple that is looking like it is getting separated and not healing well, I was instructed by my pcp to see a plastic surgeon locally, waiting to hear from them. E-mailed Dr Irving and waiting on him to reply, just spraying it with a micro bacterial and changing gauze daily. my tummy incisions looks great, I'm rubbing rosehip oil mixed with lavender and helichrysum oil it keeps it moist , I plan on using Kitocell, a cream I paid 100 dollars a tube for, it is only available in Mexico and was told it was used originally for burn victim scarring but is also now used for post surgical scars with great results.

After reading your review, it appears you are just over your post op 2 month mark! How is the nipple healing going? I am seriously considering your surgeon for myself. I am interested in liposuction to smooth out dimpling in the backs of my thighs & liposculpture on my tummy. Can you tell me anything about those treatments? I hope you are healing well. You really look great & I hope you feel great too!

Breast degression before and after
A couple of weeks after my implants the right breast literally came undone, weather the stiches were rejected, to tight, or my skin not healing it was apparent it needed attention. I was sending pictures every couple of days when Dr Rodriguez said I needed to be seen, so back to Mexico I went.. I was six weeks post OP from my TT,bbl, lipo and of course BL,BA. Upon seeing me the good Dr asked if I wanted more lipo since the first round he couldn't do any around my upper and lower abs due to blood circulation conditions. Of course I said yes, and while he was at it could be not waste any fast and deposit it in my backside??? Sure, he had cleared the day and said he was all mine!! I felt truly blessed. The surgery went well and I was over the moon with my results as I was terrified I'd lose my nipple, the lipo was extremely painful on the recovery but at least I wasn't dealing with all the trauma of the first surgery which I was so l still recovering from. The stitching was external as apposed to the initial internal stitching since the tension was much less. He had to leave a few areas open to heal for that very reason. I was careful to keep it clean and dry, it was touch and go, I had nightmares of it popping open but as of now six weeks later all open areas are closed thankfully.

WOW that looks scarey. Looks like it's all taken care of. Did you find out why it happened, was the skin pulled too tight. I hope your happy with your results you look fabulous. Did your TT heal well? Enjoy your new look you certainly deserve it after all you went through.
April 11, 2016
Thank you! Yes my tummy is great no complications there. I figure it was a combo of things, I might have disturbed it buy to much compression or that strap that goes around the top to get them to drop??
April 12, 2016
Did the recover home help you feel comfortable the few days? Where did you stay sweety? And last question did they provide you with a private nurse/message therapist?
April 12, 2016
Yes, I stayed at Casa Del Angel, it was included in the surgery, excellent after care, private nursing care, beautiful ocean view, good food, transportation to and from airport. I paid extra for a lymphatic massage, was worth it.
April 23, 2016
Your price listed included your recovery facility?
May 13, 2016
Sorry just getting back here but yes all inclusive!!! The best care and awesome facility, they pick you up at the airport and return as well!
