No Need to Worry About Medical Tourism with This Surgeon

Medical tourism is something I accidentally found out about while researching plastic surgery. I never entertained the thought of going outside the US for surgery until I looked into plastic surgery and found out the cost in the US compared to other countries,but it was not the vast cost difference that made up my mind. I extensively researched plastic surgeons in the US as well as outside the US. I came across Dr. Sauceda, who had the highest ratings and the best reviews no matter how far back I went or what website I looked at. That included US surgeons. I followed him and his patients for almost two years before I committed to surgery. I am in the medical field, but was not familiar with medical tourism, I asked a friend of mine who is a retired plastic surgeon his feelings. He was pro medical tourism and assisted me with questions to ask,(which I asked many, medical and non medical). Dr. Sauceda is very professional, attentive, patient, and quick to respond. I was very confident in his abilities before I even left for Mexico. My surgery was September 6th and 10th. It was the best decision I ever made! I had a total lower body lift, breast lift with implants, arm lift, chin/neck, eyes, lipo suction where he felt was needed, and slight filler in my cheeks. I was in the hospital 5 days, then to the hotel. I had very little pain, and excellent care, as good as in the US, actually even better! Dr. Sauceda visited me daily as well as nurse Patty, who changed my dressings, assisted me with showers, and took out drains and stitches as needed. My total time in Mexico was about 2 weeks. Recovery for so many procedures is long, but so very worth it. I went back to work at 6 weeks, and back to the gym with my trainer at 8 weeks-very slowly! My best friend who is fluent in Spanish came with me, which helped tremendously with the hotel, nurses, drivers, shopping. Dr. Sauceda, and nurse Patty are fluent in English. My airfare was reimbursed and the hotel arrangements were made and taken care of by Dr. Sauceda, all driving arrangements were taken care of by Dr. Sauceda also. The hotel was very nice, clean, and had great food. There are good plastic surgeons as well as terrible ones in the US as well as out of the US, but rarely do you find an excellent surgeon who exceeds in all qualities, I can honestly say Dr. Sauceda is that surgeon. I went to see my OB/GYN before going to Mexico for a surgery consult for a hysterectomy and was advised not to go outside of the US. I just had my hysterectomy December 19th and that same surgeon said Dr. Sauceda did a VERY good job. That was great to hear and for that surgeon to see. I am so grateful that I had my procedures done with him and not in the US. I would go back in a heartbeat if I ever need to. I highly recommend anyone who needs any plastic surgery research and choose Dr. Sauceda, I promise you will be grateful you did! Thank you Dr. Sauceda, nurse Patty, and staff!!!
