    Default traveling to get your boobs done

    i have been debating getting implants since i was in my early teens - and once i started dancing i was exposed to many different examples of many different doctors work and i befriended a woman who has AMAZING breasts. i asked her all about her doctor, placement, and cost and i found out she got them done in Tijuana. i was a little uncertain about getting surgery there, but three other girls say they have and had no complications and lived to tell about it. plus going to mexico is the only way i can get silicone implants (which i REALLY want and wouldnt get implants if i couldnt have them) because i dont qualify for the trial they are doing in america.

    im concerned about traveling.
    i live in oregon now and i wonder how long will i have to stay in TJ/San Diego before i can travel back home? is it unsafe to travel so soon after surgery?

    Well, I would have to say that the hospital that Mermaid got her boobs done (in Thailand) is much, much, much, much more "safe" than any place in Mexico.

    Tijuana is not one of the more advanced places to have any medical procedures done. Of course, do your own research and check EVERYTHING out. How long has the doctor practiced plastic surgery? Has he had any malpractice suits? If yes, how many? Is he Board Certified? What was/is his main field of practice (there are horror stories about dentists trying to do plastic surgery for extra cash...)? What is the cost difference between the surgery and stay/travel to Tijuana as opposed to driving down the street from your house? Are you planning/willing to save enough money to travel back to Tijuana for the initial consultation/evaluation and for post-op check-ups/problems/etc (if you go to a Tijuana doc and then have problems after 6 months and want to go local...it can cause a whole new set of problems--most docs are reluctant to fix another docs problems.

    Here is a website that is completely geared towards plastic surgery. They have all kinds of information and there are women from all walks of life...with every imaginable BA procedure and all. Go to http://www.allaboutplasticsurgery.com and click on Breast Augmentation. If you are wanting to talk with these women, you can log into the message board (for women only...no men).

    Good luck. The most important thing you can do is research, research, research.

    I'd look at how many people HAVE had complications in Tijuana as opposed to the three you know who have not had complications.

    I have no problem with traveling to get them done but I would stay in America. After traveling expenses to and from and then post surgery check ups and the cost of getting back down there if you do have complications can quickly ad up to the money you would of spent by going local. I drove six hours to get mine. I've gone back once for a check up and I won't go back until I decide to upgrade to silicone.

    If you only want silicone, why don't you just use the time between now and when they are re-approved (shouldn't be too much longer) to save the money to go to a local doc?

    Since you're in Oregon, have you thought of having it done in Canada? You can get silicone there, plus the exchange rate is favorable towards Americans. More importantly, the standards for doctors are higher there.

    I know you've said that the girls you met look great, but just know you're taking a greater risk since there are many more unlicensed doctors there.

    Also...check the malpractice laws in that country. I find it kind of weird that a doctor who practiced PS here took his business south of the border. It may be that he can charge less and still make more (less stringent insurance laws/payments, rent is less, etc). But, before you make any decision on ANY doctor...do your research!! Talk to the references that were happy and not so happy with the results and find out why!!

    Go to Salt Lake City.. Dr. Russell Young.. he's the best, and it wouldn't be that far for you since you are in Oregon.. All the girls I work with who have fakies have gotten theirs from him and he does awesome work.

    I guess I'm out of the loop.. but wasn't silicone taken off the market because they were seriously dangerous? I haven't hear about them getting reapproved! I'm going for my BA in January of this year, anyone know if they will be re-approved by then? Why are they coming back? Are they safer now?? Tell me! Tell me!
