Hello everyone,
I am new to this board and am very glad that I am.  I am planning to have a butt
lift, which
includes lipo of the abdomen, thighs, back...basically everywhere that they can
take fat.  I
am 31 years old and weigh 129 at 5'4, so there is definitely some fat they can
take, but it
will be added to my already full buttocks.  I am excited to have my figure a
little more
curvy and my butt a little more full.  I am also considering maybe an upper
eyelid lift and a
neck lift (both would be very minor results since it really is just some touch
up stuff that I
am wanting).  I thought about the pain of recovery on my face since I would have
to lie on
my stomach for almost two weeks so the fat transfer does not move and my face
would be
flat on a pillow or the mattress until able to sit regularly, again.  I read on
this board that
they doctors at this center are great and have had successful results.  I am
nervous, since
this will be my first procedure.

I was wondering if anyone here has had this procedure done.  I am pretty much
set on http://www.casadelamariposacostarica.com/ and one great amenity is that
they offer free
phone calls to and from the U.S., along with their other great care. I have
considered Las
Cumbress, as well.

Any information that you may provide would be great!

Thanks! - Adina

Did y'all know that there is an online support group dedicated for Rosenstock Lieberman Clinic patients and those researching them? 

 

It is privately owned, not in anyway obligated to the R/L Clinic or any other business in Costa Rica....

I am looking for recent experiences with this group of doctors in Costa
Rica regarding lipo.

If you have had lipo in the last year with them, can you please either
post your best and worst opinions or email me privately.

I would like to hear some real live examples before I commit.

I appreciate your help...

I have scheduled 3 procedures with Rosenstock Lieberman for late May
2008: neck lift, lower face lift, and eyelift.  I also have
reservations at Las Cumbres.

I'd appreciate any information on experiences with this clinic,
especially if you had any of these procedures done.  I'm also
interested in reactions to this recovery hotel, and would also like to
visit with anyone who is going there at the same time.  I'll be there
from May 22 to June 4; the actual surgery date is May 26.  My husband
is accompanying (even though he insists I don't need this, I look
beautiful to him, etc. etc., God bless him) but would enjoy having a
fellow patient to share the experience with.

Janet

He's the anesthesiologist from the US.  He is from North Carolina, but
now he lives and practices in Costa Rica.  He's an excellent team
member for several of the plastic surgery groups.  You can ask for him
specifically.  Write your request to fbesn@...

Hi,

My name is Donna and I am researching and getting ready for a trip to
Costa Rica for a much-needed tummy tuck (10 pregnancies) and a breast
lift/augmentation (breast feeding!!) I am almost 45 years old and I
am planning to have this done in February 2008.

I would appreciate any and all advice about procedures, doctors,
places to stay, etc.

My boyfriend will be accompanying me on this trip, so I will not be
alone. I admire anyone that could do that, but I just would be so
afraid I think....yes, I am chicken and can be a baby when it comes to
being in pain. Anyone know about pain relief for this kind of thing?
Tell me it's not biting a stick....or something like that !!

Thanks and hello to you all!
Donna

Great photos and dialogue. Care to divulge who "Dr Jeff" is?

Since I went for surgery, but due to my atrial murmurs could not have
procedures, I can't say what the outcome would have been.
I can say that staying at Las Cumbres was very nice experience.  Food
was great and friendly, competent staff.  all very helpful.
If I can go back to the Rosenstock clinic for surgery later this year I
will.  Good luck.  Enjoy your trip.

Hi all. I am planning to have a facelift in Costa Rica and would
appreciate your recommendations for doctors and recovery places. Like
all of you, I've been doing plenty of research, but nothing beats
personal feedback. Thanks.

I had lipo at Rosenstock-Lieberman in March and the
results were really impressive. I had five liters
removed, which is a LOT, but my results are very
smooth and symmetrical, and my scar tissue is now
gone.

Has anyone here had a rhinoplasty done in Costa Rica? I lived there
for a year and was both wonderfully surprised at the medical care by
the public system, and only had a problem when I went to a more
expensive private doctor who failed to recognize strepthroat and gave
me the wrong anti-biotics. Anyway, if anyone has had personal
experience with rhinoplasty in CR please let me know what you thought
and what you would recomend. Thanks

Hi

I am researching having some cosmetic surgery in CR.  I have pretty
much decided on Dr. Araya and also to stay at Villa Le Mas.  I
appreciate any feedback.  I considered CheTica Ranch and although it
looks wonderful I thought it might be too far from the hospital.
Anyone have any comments or feedback they can share?

Well, I had a breast reduction at the same time, and
my total cost was $7000...I think the total for the
lipo was $3400, and I had waist, sides of back, sides
of breasts, upper and lower abdomen, inner thighs,
inner knees, and some on the hips. Of course, the
total price included all surgical fees, anesthesia,
overnight stay in the surgical facility, post-surgical
garments, prescriptionsand all follow-up visits.
That's pretty much the norm in Costa Rica, although I
know those costs are not included in the states.

Hey KZ,

Thanks for your reply.  May I ask what the total cost was and what
areas you had done?

Glad to hear you are happy with the outcome which is most important.

Hi Group,

I just ran across this by accident and I'd already been planning a trip
to Costa Rica, but now considering having some lipo done.

I've had Lipo in the states about 10 years ago and want to do a bit
more on my stomach and love handle areas and was wondering who everyone
recommends and what the cost avg. is there?

Thanks,

Wesley

I had an excellent experience, breast reduction and 5
liter lipo on 3/16/07.  Dr's Cohen and Rosenstock were
kind and helpful, and the work I had done has been
greatly admired here in the states, especially the
breast reduction, which is a surgery that often comes
out very badly.

I had intended to have a tummy tuck, but the dr's felt
I would not be please with the results and gave me a
very lovely result with the lipo.

I was also very impressed with the results of the
facial surgeries I saw in the waiting room--my mother
and I will both be having an upper bleph in five
years, and I will certainly be going back to
Rosenstock based on what I saw there.  There were
ladies at my recovery home who also had blephs done
and had much more bruising and swelling.
