Sarah, a 38-year-old mother of two from San Antonio, Texas, had always dreamed of getting a tummy tuck. After her pregnancies, she struggled with loose skin and low self-esteem. But in the U.S., the procedure was quoted at $11,000 — far out of reach. That’s when she found Medxico, and her journey to confidence began.
The Problem
- Cost in the U.S.: $11,000 (not covered by insurance)
- Wait Time: 4–5 months for scheduling
- Impact on Life: Struggled with body image, avoided wearing swimsuits, low confidence

Every step — from pre-op testing to post-op check-ins — was guided by Medxico’s bilingual support team.
