WORTH IT$3,000
I did actually 3 procedures: Lip Lift with Corner Lip Lift and Blepharoplasty Upper and Lower, but in this review I won't discuss the Bleph procedure, I'm waiting for the final results, I'm still recovering! Cost of all 3 was $4000 Cash! $1500 each with the $500 discount, which included Operating Room, General Anesthesia, One night stay in the clinic with the food, medications, monitoring and all the stuff you getting when you are in a Hospital! Girls in the Clinic were amazing! Professional and very sweet, almost everyone spoke English, I don't speak Spanish, but I felt like I was back in my New Jersey where Spanish is everywhere!
Very important CONCERN I had before I went to Mexico, besides Professionalism, Knowledge and Experience of the Doctor, was The Safety Concern! So I want to assure everyone who reads my review it's ABSOLUTELY SAFE! You can go to Tijuana at any time without any problem!
As I said I'm from NJ, so after we set up a date of a surgery I flew to San Diego the day before the surgery, checked in to the hotel next to the SD Airport, called the doctor and the driver (who affiliates with the clinic), and voila, next day he was right at my hotel door, very good looking young man, with the perfect English, absolutely trustworthy, I had a Cash with me, and felt a little awkward with the stranger, but this is his job, and he wouldn't jeopardize it for my stupid money :D So we drove probably 10 mins in SD and 5 in Tijuana, clinic is very close! He dropped me off, I paid $70 (one way), (the next day he took me back to my hotel, also $70 plus tip - optional) and there I was again by myself, but hoping to see the Doctor, the only familiar face in the new town, we had a lot of phone and e-mail conversations prior, I saw her pictures online, she saw my pictures sent by me, but it took some time, before I met her, so I went through all that registering and preparation process, and just before I was going to be rolled to the operating room My Only Saver, My Doctor Came, I felt so relieved, so we discussed very briefly what was going to be done, which we knew, just never spoke face to face, I gave some suggestion regarding my eye, which I shouldn't do, and she did as I asked, now I regret it, but as I said I'm still in a recovery process, and final results are not there yet! Today is exactly 2 weeks after the surgery!
I love my new lips, as you can see on "before" and "after" pictures, results are dramatic! "After" Picture is taken right after I took the sutures off MYSELF (that's the different story) :D on a 12th day! Scars are still visible, I treat them with anything I heard of ( Medihoney Gel, Silver Wound Gel, Neosporin, Rosehip Seed Oil, Castor Oil, Mederma, ScarAway Silicon Sheets) took DermAvance Arnika Forte, Glucosamine MSM & Turmeric, Vitamin C still taking, and all the other vitamins, but best thing is probably to leave them (Scars) alone, and let them heal naturally!
Yes! Pain! There was NONE! ZERO! I remember when I was waking up after the surgery I heard my name repeatedly, felt so good, didn't know what was going but Wow, everyone knows me :D! Then conscious kicked in and first thing I said "My Eyes Hurt!" I was getting Pain Meds through IV, and that took care of the pain. But BAD swelling under the eyes and the whole face, and discomfort with eyes are plenty still now, Not with Lips!
So my conclusion is go for Lip Surgery to Tijuana! You won't regret it! Especially if you are on a budget! It's the same treatment like in America, just with less money, besides you'll meet sweetest, kindest and very caring people there! I'm glad I did!

thanks so much for posting this! Please come back with more pictures and updates! I was thinking of trying to find someone in LA or Beverly Hills for a lip lift bc I assumed they would be the best, but id love a trip to Mexico ;) happy for you!!

Absolutely, you can choose your favorite doctor, and Im sure LA is faimous for Celebrity Plastic Surgeons, as well as NY, Im in 10 mins proximity to NY, and tried to find good surgeon for a lip lift local, but couldn't afford their prices , so I took a risk :)) and went to Mexico, I dont regret! Don't be afraid, it's absolutely safe :))

My Eyes

Thank you girls for lovely responces, I will definitely post more updates on my lips :)) but as you all want to see my eyes, here they are! My problem, (this is my opinion) was that right eye looked much smaller then left one, because upper right eyelid was more drooping then left one, so I asked doctor to take more skin from right then from left, and she did, so now my Right eye looks bigger then the left one... my hope is that they will get even after they will be healed. As Dr Sigler said PATIENT has to have a PATIENCE, so Im waiting :))

Hi there. Your lip is looking quite nice. So you just had upper eyelid bleph?
User Avatar
September 1, 2016
Hi :)) no, I had both upper and lower!
September 1, 2016
Hi thank you for the prompt answer. What did you have done to lower eye lid? Fat removal or tightening?
User Avatar
September 1, 2016
I think she removed fat, although I never complained of having eye bags, but I looked old and tired, so I went with that surgery! And she definitely tightened the skin, I see tiny little scars, I hope after a full recovery, I won't look so tired

I cant see that one is bigger than the other which as actually a good thing but I understand if it bothers you unfortunately we all want immediately results but some just take a little longer hang in there

You right, I have to wait and trust the doctor, she told me that different sides of the face heal differently!
September 3, 2016
Hi dear...I can hardly tell the difference in your eyes that you have one eye bigger than the other. I always thought that all of us had one eye bigger than the other but you need to be patient. I know that you will look great after you finish healing. I really appreciate you sharing us your photos and please keep us updated on how you're doing.

How are your eyes healing? I'm concerned from these photos. Are you able to communicate easily with Dr.Sigler. I am concerned that after surgery care is not the same . I have experienced that so much in the states

My eyes are getting better, but still tearing a lot, in 2 days it will be 3 weeks, bruises are gone but swelling is still there! I'm patiently waiting for having my old eyes back! I will definitely put more new pictures, and pictures of third, fourth and fifth day when I looked my worst, my bruised a terrified looking face, but that the price we pay for looking not so old :)))))) Yes I can communicate with Dr Sigler, no problem, just I don't need it yet, everyone tells me it's a long process, so I'll wait :)))
September 7, 2016
Thank you please keep us updated. Your lips look fabulous! I'm thinking about getting the same procedure. I' can say that based on your photo and review i will be paying Dr.Alicia Sigler a visit☺
Thank you for sharing.

So here is my lip, looks normal, not as sexy as it was :)))) but I like it, it's still better then what I had, thin, not attractive lip, which developed with age. My mouse corners are still drooping :(( doctor told me she was going to take only 3 mm, which I think was not enogh, my mouth was not simmetrical to begin with, but I was hoping ti fix it by letting her to cut it :)))))
Scars are still visible, under the nose and very hard on touch, cannot wipe my nose properly, using Q-tips for that, I think that, scar will need 3 to 4 months to fully fade away.
With lips I'm very happy, don't get me wrong, but I wish she would do some markings while I was awake, and I would know what to expect, but I suspect she didn't do any markings

What was the final amount taken out and what is your distance now ?
User Avatar
November 20, 2016
I'm not sure how much she took, but now the distance between the base of the nose and the red part of my lip (procheilon-medical term) in a philtrum area is 13mm, she could take 2mm more, but didn't want to dis balance the face, my face is of long shape :)
