So, went for my consult with one of the best PS's in town.  We decided to stick with two procedures right now, the ones that bother me the most.  Bleow are the two procedures and cost.  What do you ladies think of this cost?  To me it seems pretty reasonable.

                     Liposuction of Chin
  
LENGTH OF SURGERY:  5 hours  
Dr. Strand's fee:  $6,500.00  
Chin Strap:  $30.00  
St. Tammany Parish Hospital (anesthesia included):  $4,330.00  
TOTAL COST OF SURGERY:  $10,860.00

Seems kinda pricy to me but I had a BL/BA & MTL done for just over 12k. The implants alone were over $1500/each and it included the surgery center and anesthesia. But everything depends on the region of the country that your in.

Yeah, I have looked into Dr. S.  I am just scared.  Not of using him as my doctor but going to Mexico.  I may have to contact him just to see what the pricing would be.  Did you just sent him pictures through email?

Most folks send him photos through email.  I had mine on a cd when I saw him in SF last Aug.  [email protected]

Monterrey was very safe and I had no problems at all while I was there.
The clinic and the hotel are in the hospital area of the city center.

Click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line.  There's a sticky about the Sauceda Experience that Levittown_Loser documented his stay in Jan.

I had an extended mastopexy and brachioplasty (elbow to underarm) for 9K.

My procedures were done in an outpatient surgical center (here in Tucson) with full anesthesia and nursing support.

My fees include 1 year of follow up appts with the plastic surgeon

My surgery was about 4 hours ---
