Canadian looking for plastic surgery options in Caribbean or South America

Hi,

I'm Canadian and had DS surgery with Dr. Ungson in Mexico in 2010. He was a great surgeon and I found him through this forum.

I've lost about 270 lbs on average (varies slightly by only a few pounds at any given time) so my weight is stable and has been for a long time.

I have ton of loose skin. Like everywhere. Pretty much want to have my full body done.

I was thinking I'd like to head south again for the surgery(ies) and had heard from someone that are very good yet also very cheap surgeons in countries like Colombia and Brazil.

When I search here, it's asking me for State/Province info rather than country.

Does anyone know how I can go about finding some reviews here of people that went south for their skin removal surgeries?

Thanks,

You can absolutely find good and affordable plastic surgeons in South American countries like Colombia or Brazil to perform surgery to remove excess skin after major weight loss. However, to ensure safety and effectiveness, you should:

• Choose a doctor who has experience with patients who have lost a lot of weight (post-bariatric body lift Grow a Garden) and check their credentials/reputation.
• Find reviews and real-life experiences from previous international patients through forums, Reddit, RealSelf, or ask your doctor for references.
• Consider the entire post-operative process: length of stay, post-operative care, follow-up upon return to Canada, and overall cost.
