Looking into a lower body lift in Tijuana

Hi y'all! I had a gastric sleeve in Mexico almost two years ago. Now I have reached my goal weight, almost. I'm 165 lbs. Should be about 150 lbs, so now I'm planning to lose those extra lbs by getting my lose skin removed.

Needless to say, after losing like 55 lbs since I started my weight loss, my buttocks lost volume and my thighs too. My inner thighs same story. Anyways, thing is I am considering a lower body lift, which here in the US is costing me about $25K, which I can't afford.

I have been following Dr Sergio Soberanes for a few years. He's located in Tijuana. He used to work for this weight loss surgery booking company, don't recall the name, so he did a lot of work on after weight loss surgery patients. That is how I learned about him. He stopped working with that business many years ago, but I continued to follow his work.

What I'd like to know is if someone on this site has had work done by him. How was the experience, how was the outcome of the surgery, what procedures that member had done by him. I understand he does the procedure I'm looking for. Now many plastic surgeons in Mexico do it. I have been researching with other doctors and the most they offer me to help me improve my lower body is a circular tummy tuck or belt lipectomy. A lower body lift does way more than those procedures. I understand it will be higher in cost than those procedures, but the benefits to me are worth it. It doesn't matter if I pay a bit more, but the results will help me look better and that is worth to me.

So if anyone has had this procedure in Mexico, by this Dr Soberanes, or by any other doctor in Mexico, please share with me the name, and any social media where I can see results and find out about prices, etc. Thank you

belt lipectomy is the same as a lower body lift.

also, most people have 5 lbs or less of excess skin - it weighs a lot less than you'd think. I lost over 200 lbs and I think my excess skin weighed around 4 lbs.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Soberanes, but check reviews. A lot of weight loss surgery patients have gone to Dr. Laura Carmina Cardenas in Tijuana. She specializes in plastic surgery for massive weight loss patients and also is a bariatric patient herself! Dr. Francisco Sauceda in Monterrey is also very familiar to those of us on OH - not sure if he's still in practice or not though. He also specializes in plastic surgery for massive weight loss patients.

I'd never heard the term "circular tummy tuck" and just googled it. It's also the same as a lower body lift.

Dr. Sauceda definitely IS operating in Monterrey Mexico and is fantastic as always

. He did a LBL on me about seven years ago after I'd successfully kept my weight off about four years and it still looks great .

I had similar issues to yours - lax skin in the thighs some jiggly fat in the knees ... " foof" in the abdomen and love handles ... which were addressed with liposuction and an inner thigh lift and bellybutton repositioning . Though I still need upper body work the results were and remain beautiful. Good luck choosing your surgeon ! ((()))

You should take more time to take care yourself. You need to be careful to complete your treatment. I hope that you can recover quickly. Be strong!
