Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 For anyone who is interested when the time comes, I will be happy to try to organize a trip for all of us who want to go for the nip and tuck in CR. I would imagine the docs can only handle just so many at a time. We could stagger our surgeries a bit, but be there at the same time. It certainly is a goal to strive for. EVERYONE is invited!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Joni/ Put me down on your list of " interesteds " . God only knows how I would pay for it, but I am definitely interested. I found out exactly where my butt went: it is now hanging down the backs of my legs!! <LOL> I accidently saw myself nude in a full length mirror and Lordy, Lordy! Not a pretty sight.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Joni, I am also interested in Costa Rica... Of course, for me it depends on when you all are planning to go and if I have the time and money then but I definitely need some plastic surgery (esp. the thighs...!) and would love to go with you fellow MGBer's for support and bonding!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I'm not Amy, but my thigh lift in C.R. was $1700.00. That was the price I was quoted in 2001 and then charged in 2002 when I had it done. Betty Pappas > Hey Amy, > > If you don't mind my asking, how much is a thigh lift in Costa Rica?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Hey Betty --- I'm back! Thighs? What thighs? That lipo sure did the final trick on that lemon peel on the outside of my thighs. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. For convincing me to have the face lift too! Bruises already completely gone (2 weeks post op today) and feel like a fox! Prices I paid were $1700. for the thigh lift (back in 2001) and $2800. for the face lift but then another $700. for the fat deposits under my eyes. (Already had the eyelids done last visit) This is addictive though. After lipo, my thunder thighs are finally gone as are my hips (lipo and another incision to get that side roll) However now I've decided my waist is too large for my hips and want lipo there too! This could become a career! Cyndee > I'm not Amy, but my thigh lift in C.R. was $1700.00.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Lynda --- My air fare was just over $400. But Florida usually has pretty cheap fares. My hotel was $32.00 per night. Surgery prices are thousands less than American. I didn't realize how much cheaper until I went over to the ossg plastic surgery group. Some folks there are posting actual hospital and surgeons fees ... wow! I had no idea it was that expensive here. Saw prices posted by 2 or 3 different people one was $21,000. + and another was $16,000. I almost fell out of my chair. What are you guys all rich? Where on earth do people get this kind of money? If I hadn't found Costa Rica I'm afraid my hubby would have said hey live with your body --- for that we can get a new boat! Trust me --- the boat would have won. :-( Anyway still getting a little tired about this time in the afternoon so think I'll go for my nap. Hope this wears off soon 'cause face lift or no --- I'm feeling 52 with needing all this darned sleep. Cyndee > > > I'm not Amy, but my thigh lift in C.R. was $1700.00.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Thanks Cyndee. I priced fares to CR from Tulsa and I'm looking at somewhere between $650 to $800 if I go. Hubby is actually talking about it, cause he's thinking he could go deep sea fishing! Men..... I've been lurking on the OSSG list, and read the exchange about Costa Rica vs American PS. People thought I was nuts traveling so far in the US for WLS, they will freak out if they find out I want to go to CR! Lol... Oh, I guess I don't even have to tell them huh? The $32 a night at your hotel is great deal! I read about that too. Lol is the food good near by too?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hi Kim, I have heard only good things from anyone who has gone to Costa Rica for plastic surgery. It is very encouraging to hear all the good things people have to say about it. It is a lot cheaper than having proceedures in the states done. I priced a lower body lift, inner thighs, breast augmentation, lower face lift and my eyelids and they sent me back an estimate of about $17000 for all of it.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 HI Pat, this is Pat Petrin. Remember me from way back? I also went to CR last May for reconstructive surgery and for the most part I'm very pleased with my results. I had the tummy tuck, arms, neck and hair transplant done. I want to go back for the breast lift, thighs, lipo, and to have a revision on my left arm. Actually I was planning on going back in April or May, but had some personal things going on that detained me. When are you going? I'd love to go with someone else if possible. I stayed at Chetica the last time and fell in love with and and staff. Dr. Cohen and Dr. Rashi are the very best too, not only professional but personally too. Good luck, you won't be sorry.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hi Pat, Yes of course I remember you. Thank you so much for the information on Costa Rica. Its good to hear that you are satisfied with the results of your plastic surgery. I would like to plan on going within the next few months. I have an appointment with a local plastic surgeon next week to see if he can get insurance to approve at least the tummy tuck. If not I will start making my arrangements. Thanks again Pat Iurato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 HI Pat, it's me again! I am very satisfied with the results and planned on going back in April. Unforeseen things happened and altered my plans, but I'd still love to go back sometime in May. My son is getting married in early Sept. so I want to make sure that I'm completely recuperated so I'm hesitant going beyond mid May. If I can't make it by May, I'm considering going sometime in late fall. Best of luck with your approval. Pat Re: Costa Rica > Hi Pat, > Yes of course I remember you.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 HI, MY NAME IS TAMMY. I HAD MY SURGERY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. I WAS 225 AT THE TIME OF MY SURGERY AND I AM 121 NOW. I HAVE ALOT OF LOOSE SKIN ON MY TUMMY, BUTT, THIGHS, AND HIPS. MY BOOBS HAVE GONE DOWN SO MUCH THAT I CANT EVEN FILL A C CUP ANY MORE. AT THE TIME OF MY SURGERY I WAS 40 DD CUP. AND THAT WAS TOO SMALL. I REFUSED TO BUY A BIGGER BRA. SO I REALLY NEED A BOOB JOB. I AM STARTING TO LOOK INTO PLASTIC SURGERY SINCE IVE HIT MY GOAL WEIGHT. ITS VERY EXPENSIVE AND IM SURE THAT MY INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER IT SINCE THEY DIDNT COVER THE SURGERY. I HAVE BEEN READING THIS SITE FOR 1 1/2 YEARS AND HAVE HEARD ONLY GOOD THINGS ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY IN COSTA RICA. I WOULD LIKE TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT COSTA RICA AS POSSIBLE. ALSO ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ANYONE THAT HAS HAD LUCK. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL SOON. 225/121(2/7/03 TAMMY/ CALIFORNIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
