Plastics in Costa Rica? - ThinnerTimes - Gastric Bypass Forum, Lap Band Forum, and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Forum

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!

I was looking at some places in Costa Rica too. I'm still a ways out from PS but trying to get some info for the future. I was wondering about all the things you are. Maybe someone can help out?

Hey Karen,

Im not ready yet..but I would love to keep up on what you find out on this... not really sure if I will need any except for maybe a breast lift ....but Grandma Rose is there right now getting her teeth done...so she may be a good person to ask info from?? not sure if the facilities would be the same but it cant hurt to ask her

good luck!

and keep me posted..
