Dr Carmina Cardenas, Mexico



Recommended Posts

Dr Carmina Cardenas was my plastic surgeon. I am beyond happy with everything she did and the cost was half what I would have paid here in the USA. I also had wonderful

after care in Mexico. I feel

so blessed she was my doctor. Feel free to pm me about her. She is an artist!!

she did a neck lift, breast lift and Tummy Tuck for me. I'm going back in a few months for a bbl lift and fat transfer to my face as well.

I adore her. Trust me she is the one you want. She knows how to work with weight loss patients bodies!!!!

You look great! I've already considered Dra. Cardenas for plastics when I need them, but that might be a while yet. From the photos I've seen (including yours) she does some beautiful stitching - I've seen some pretty jagged scars from other surgeons!

How long was your recovery?

I had my surgeries 6 weeks ago. I'm still recovering but almost back to normal. I needed the full 6 weeks.

I had a neck lift with muscle tightening, I had a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, and a breast lift without an implant.

In the end it was about 13,500... I also had filler put in my lips which I love.

I'm going back in sept for fat to my cheeks and buttocks.

That is awesome! I hope there will be enough fat to put in my buttocks when I'm done. Got about 10 more pounds to go. I will totally check her out and tell her I heard from you. :)

You look wonderful! Does she offer financing? Did you fly into San Diego and they picked you up there? Did she make you separate the surgeries or was that your choice. I will need neck, boobs, 360 tummy, butt and thigh lift.

Can you stray longer than a week if you had more done or by choice? Thank you!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
