anyone have any thing to say about either of these clinic/drs? i have read everything out there on the internet, but am curious as to what personal opinions or outcomes are?

so quick update, i ended up booking a surgical date and putting a deposit down with Dr. Lazaro Cardenas in Guadalajara, Mexico. I can't wait! I fly out from NJ December 12, and my surgical date is Dec. 14! So excited!!!

Great news, so very happy for you!

What procedures are you getting? How much is your FFS going to cost?

Thank you! I can't wait! I will have my jaw, chin, nose, forehead done also my Adams apple and an eyebrow lift =) My entire FFS with flight and stay at a recovery clinic for 2 weeks will be a little less than 15k.

Wow, that's like half the price of FFS in the US.

Please update us as to your progress, pics if your willing.

Best of luck,
mich'

FYI. Dont have FFS just because it is the cheapest..You might regret it..If money is your primary objective dont get it done until you can afford someone of a higher caliber If yo.u want to go alittle more use Dr. Di Maggio in Bunes Aries, Argentina..He is much better..

If you don't know why I chose the doctor then dont automatically assume its for the price. I know NOT to choose by price and that isn't why I chose.

And how do you know this doctors not good?

Yes I will keep everyone updated and Post before and after photos later. Thanks for the support.

let me know how it goes. im trying to make it down at the end of Dec myself

Are you staying with Tyler and Vincente?  If so, I'll see you here for at least a day.  The FFS isn't so bad, but my BA has been keeping me up at night.

I've had a rough go of it because I had my entire face, boobs, and orchi done at once, but so far so good.  Tell him what you want and he'll give it to you.  I'm only two days post, so it's too soon to tell how everything is going to come together, but the overall contour of my jaw and chin is really obviously improved and my hairline is good.  I'll let you know more when the swelling goes down some more.  Just bump this thread to me so I don't forget.

thank you Jess, and i hope you recover fast

It's better every day.  The best thing to do is to just ignore your face for a while, since nothing is where it's going to end up for a little while and you'll drive yourself crazy worrying about it.  Take your pills on time, keep your dressings fresh, eat right, stay hydrated, and try to get some rest.  At just three days post I'm already starting to see some positive results.  My neck looks great.  In recovery, right now is as good as it's been and it's only going to get better.  :-)

congrats  malibukay!
