Decisions Decisions....Decision MADE!

Dominican Republic.

Yes I went to Dr Cervantes. You can go to his website and I had a mommy makeover. I didn't take any before or after. The Dr. did. I highly recommend him! He is excellent. Dr Cervantes is located in Mexico.

I had breast implants, lipo on my back, transferred to my butt, tummy tuck. I couldn't be happier! The surgery is a cake walk the recovery is painful but worth it!

Just wondering why you chose him was it geographical for you? I want to go to Dr. Disla in DR. I really like her. Why Mexico? I have been to Mexico at least 125 times all over, grew up in San Diego. What drugs for pain did you take? I hear they don't have the good ones in MX or DR that you need to get them here.

I researched the Doctors in San Diego and the prices were crazy! I have been going to Mexico for my dental work for the last 10 years. I asked my Oral Surgeon if he recommented a Plastic Surgeon. He gave Dr. Cervantes. I asked my dentist and he gave me a couple other Doctors. I went to 3 and checked out the clinics and Hospitals. I went with my first impression of the doctor, he was passionate about his job and work he has done. I bought all my medication in Mexico the the doctor prescribed. The procedure is painful but worth it. I went back to work as a bartender in a busy restaurant in 2 weeks. I would look at his website check out his work. I know patient that come from Canada to see him.

Thanks. My plan may be to come down go check out 3 docs in TJ, and stay with family for a few days see how I feel then book the date with who I feel comfy with. I have been to TJ countless times and also to dentists down there when I was a kid. The recovery houses are really expensive ridiculous prices, most are 100-150 a night.

I thought you still lived in San Diego, I know Dr Cervantes has a package that covers your stay and they make all the arrangements. I didn't do that. I stayed one night in the hospital and went home the next day and went back for my follow up in a week. I was back to work after the second week. The first 3 days are the hardest. After that you can get around slowly and you can't straighten up for 3-5 days just depends on each person. For me it was the 4 day I was able to get in my bed, I had rented a lift chair and slept in it for 3 days. I wish you the best I wish I wouldn't have waited so long I am 55. But absolutely happy with the results and would do it again. Good Luck on your journey!

Thanks so much for info. I am 49 about to turn 50. I currently live in Idaho. Spent most of my life in San Diego. I really do not want to wait another minute to do this due to age. What did you take for Pain meds after surgery?

They gave me morphine in pill form and brought home with me. I only took it the first 3 days. After that I tried not to take anything because I wanted to heal faster and know exactly where I was sore. The first 3 days are the worst. I hired someone to come over and help me shower and get dressed. I slept in a lift recliner that I rented. That was the best thing I could of done. After a week you don't need it. It's been just a year for me now. I am 55 wish I wouldn't have waited so long but happier then ever that I did it.

Thanks so much for the info very much appreciated.

OMG I want a dentist there. Can you refer me to yours? I am in such need of 1. My teeth are getting ruined in the states. I have clients that always say how cheapie is in Mx for dental but need a safe doctor that is good. Thanks in advance.
