WORTH IT$8,350
I had my MMO (circular tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, Brazilian Butt Lift and lipo) with Dr. Cervantes on Monday, 8/3/15. I am 34 years and also a weight loss surgery patient (gastric sleeve 8/2013).
I met Dr. Cervantes in May of this year and was very impressed. I had already visited three Doctors in Beverly Hills, two in San Diego and two in Mexicali, Mx. All told me the same thing but the price varied significantly. Yes, I was happy that the price was so much lower with Dr. Cervantes but I also felt he was kind and took his time explaining the process to me. I left his office certain that I would book with him. After I got my finances straighten out, I booked and waited. I had done enough research to know that as a weigh loss patient, I would need to make sure my hemoglobin levels were high enough for some of the procedures. I also had visits with my general doctor prior to my surgery. I wanted to make sure I did everything right to help ensure proper healing. I know things can always happen but I didn't want to look back and think "if only I had...". I arrived in Tijuana on Saturday, 8/1/15 for all of my previous ops and ekg. Part of the package with Dr. Cervantes is a US pickup and transport to the Hospital which was very helpful as I am not familiar with the area.
I had decided to stay in a recovery home before and after my surgery to be close the doctor, should anything happen. One the day if my surgery I was checked into the hospital and preparedo for surgery. All of my nurses and my anesthesiologist spoke English and help me feel at ease.
After the surgery, Dr. Cervantes checked on me in my room and I was released the next day to the care of my recovery home were I remained for 9 days. I am very pleased with my results so far and have been in contact with the doctor on several occasions. I will be traveling to visit him again this week to remove drains and stitches. I will continue to post updates.

Thanks for sharing your story. Did the cost you mentioned here include the stay in the recovery house, or just the procedure itself?
Thanks for the feedback!
