Hi! I am still about a year from getting my plastics done (TT & breast lift) ... but I love to have all the information I can get my hands on & prepare and plan for everything way in advance ... I have 3 kiddos to make sure they are getting taken care of

Anyways ... I don't think my insurance will cover my plastics, I only get a rash inside my belly button & not under my lower belly that hangs so low I just want to cut it off *sigh*. I was researching plastic surgeons in Costa Rica & it really intrigued me to research it more! I would love to have PS locally, but no where here does it same day surgery ... so I will get stuck with all the hospital costs & that is about as much as the surgery I hear.

So, if you have been to Costa Rica or elsewhere for your plastics I have a few questions:

~How many days do they like you to stay at the resort/hospital there? (It is only $130 for 2 people a day, that includes ALL meals)

~Did you like the cleanliness of the hospital/hotel?

~Was the nurses nice & professional that took care of you?

~Do they give you a follow up visit after surgery, or do you have to find a doctor in your hometown to see when you get back?

Any other information that you would like to share is much appreciated! Thanks so much!
