I was scheduled for tummy tuck,lipo and Bbl. With Dr.pantoja but after reading about a woman he operated on and had problems at a Recovery home where she collapsed, rushed to hospital where she was in a coma from a blood clot, and now family has pulled from life support, scared me.
I emailed questions of my concern to Dr.P and did not receive the needed info to ease my concerns, also no return calls so I decided on dr.carmina cardenas who is $1200 more but has answered all my questions and eased my anxties, and as of yet no complaints

Im hating my butt more and more now I have a long flat butt, im so upset that I spent all this money, Dr.cardenas claims to be the queen of Tummy tucks,.but suckz
On booty,.man thiz really makez me mad that now I have to save.more money to get my butt fixed!!
I am very disappointed I clearly told her big plump, not long and wide!
ladies,.the surgery recovery was scary! She has porcelin tile through out! Stairs NO Elevator! Her bathroom same no rails to hold on too very dangerous! Hospital.beds are the most uncomfortable thing or plastic hard surface I ever had to sit and lye on,
Ladies I felt rushed when I arrived she didnt really come in the room until.last 5min before I went under, after care is terrible no return email.or phone calls, im very disappointed very!!
She is expensive compared to dr.campos who does great booty work her price does not include garment! Or blood work, or even EKG which I believe is soo important!
Her after care she claimed was great compared to other doctors, which is a.lie! I still unaware when im able to drive because I never got the ok from her,.
Ladies do your homework you dont want to be disappointed after 3 long hellish weeks of healing and money lost and not get what u want!!
Im upset ladies very disappointed and im only 2.5weeks and my butt is long instead of bubble, I can just imagine after.more swelling goes down, im going to be in tears!!

I have to voice, good and bad ladies I know I posted I hated my booty, and well now luvn my new shape!
Yes, I do luv it, but my experience was truthfull, and well after posting all those negitive remarks I got a call from fatimah dr.cardenas assistant she insisted I fix what I wrote, bcuz dr,cardenas was getting cancelations
Well really my comments are experiences and I hope all u guys post truthfull experiences aswell, I do have a diffrent outlook in doctors in tijuana they are good,but safety is not their #1
You have to be carefull and ask ask as much as you can get everything in writing! Becuz another concern with cardenas was she or her staff would NOT committ in writing at all!! Not even a receipt!! That was scary,what was the reason? They claimed no patient ever requested a receipt or surgical procedures performed?
So they would not provide one for me!, that was weird,
Their surgical recovery didnt have sanitary napkins for patients,or safe guard rails in the bathroom where they expected you to shower after surgery, and a shiney porcelin tile that was through out even on the stairs,
where you must climb down from after surgery..scary! And dangerous! That is why I say safety is not the #1 for all docs
