I met Dr. Luque yesterday  and I just loved him.  He is very sweet and patiently explained everything to me.

I am excited but nervous. I am going to look a mess for awhile!

Hey Girls, just wanted to update:  I spoke to our mutual friend that Sassy is staying with, and she is out of surgery, did great, and is in recovery doing very well!

Thanks for the response to my face lift question.  I'm going to follow your progress.

  Mexico isn't out of the running to have all plastics done.

What kind of arrangements did you make for after care in case something goes wrong?

I was really lucky  because my friend who is a nurse moved here to Mexicalli.. I could stay in the hosptial 4 days but I don't want to. I am not in pain, and that will be the only thing that would keep me here.

Most of Dr. Luqaue's patients go to a hotel after they stay in the hospital. I am glad I don't have to do that.  I will be staying   in Mexicalli for  2 weeks so that I will be looking as  normal as is possible when I go back to work.

The drains are a little annoying. they drip blood now and then. I have a huge bandage around  my head so that all that shows is my face. the most annoying thing was I had my lower eye lids done so the stiches are there sometimes poke me in the eye.

It's really not painful, mostly annoying and slightly uncomfortable.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Luque. he's great! I love how patient he is.

He said I need boobs. ( I am barely an A cup) for implants and a lift 3500. I don't want boobs very badly though. Losing nipple sensation is not high on my prioritey list.
