1 YEAR AND A HALF POST OP
LADIES I AM STILL HAVING A LOT OF PAIN IN MY ABDOMINAL AREA . SCALE OF 1-10 EVERYDAY I AM A 6 OR ABOVE. I CAN'T T LEFT OR PULL COUGH OR SNEEZE WITH OUT PAIN. I KEEP A ABDOMINAL BINDER ON FOR THE WORST DAYS. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING THE DOCTORS HAVE TOLD ME TO DO EXCEPT REOPEN ME AND SEE WHAT DAMAGE WAS DONE. I CAN'T FEEL THE SURFACE AREA OF MY STOMACH DUE TO THE NERVES THAT WERE CUT. SMDH WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END. LORD IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME. I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS.

Very sorry to hear this. I'm corresponding with her office but it all seems too good to be true. I think the fact that she does more lipo and sews tighter stitches than other surgeons--could be her down fall actually. It's creating problems. I just don't feel as confident to see her.

am I the only one confused at the bottom of this post as well as not to be mean but you went for plastic surgery and booked a cruise but didn't have the money for proper after care such as garments? or stayed cheap at hotel across and I think I saw a go fund me page as well? and then I see this post below: DR Carmina Cardenas was my DR but I can't change her name out SO THIS REVIEW IS FOR DR CARDENAS was Laura Carmina Cardenas your doctor or not? I am confused??? is anyone else confused?

Hmmm. Interesting in regards to the go fund me.. Im so sad about this review. You can't change your doctor on here. I guess she went to the ER instead of the cruise.

don't be confused....go get it done. This review is not for you to figure out how I paid, where or I went. The fact is I had surgery with this sorry ass Doctor. And it is what it is. And yes I ended up in the damn er.

yup, bc Dr. Cardenas is NOT in the Dominican Republic, she is actually in TJ and an amazing Doctor. This story is fishy

Several Thousand dollars later....DR Cardenas is not worth it (1year &1 month post op)
ok ladies it has been one year and I hope this will help at least one lady not go to this butch of a doctor. If you are lucky yes you may get good or great results. What you won't get is followup treatment if you get an infection or correction to any area she forgot or messed up. You also not going to get that hack to admit she did anything wrong or give you one single dollar back. Her and her husbands are subhumans praying on the women on realself (notice she trys to answer all the questions related to tummy tucks 1st). Her phone call to tell you how you going to have a banging body and where to make your deposit is all a big scam. I still have numbess in my abd and keloids. My Gi doctor noted there was also some looping in the right side of my bowels due to the aggressive tighening to my abd with out doing a bowel prep. Smdh and i still have swelling and bloating, scaring , and more visits to the md. My GYN has been a great help as well. he has looked at the ct scans seen the scaring and together all these doctors are making plans to heal me without additional surgery. I will never have a round 2. Vanity ...i was perfectly healthy and now i sit and wait for the next appointment hoping this pain will one day go away.
Thanks for your support.

Oh, man. So sorry that you are going through this. I'll keep you in my prayers.

what a nightmare. are you able to consider legal action? these are the stories that are hard to read. we accept that sometimes things can go wrong but what makes it worse is when the doctors vanish and don't offer support or even try to help. Smh. It sounds like you have a caring group of medical professionals that are going to help get you back on track. Be Well Doll!

Damn girl sorry you had a bad experience with her.....my umbilicus had detached but she didn't have a problem fixing it I just went in for a real quick local anesthesia 20 min surgery and she was done and now my button looks perfectly round thank god. Who's been helping you with all this mess from the office??
October 18, 2015
I so feel for you. She could've killed you. Thank God you have solid medical support at home to get you through this, prayers for a full recovery.
