Outstanding. I had breast implants with Dr. Meza in January 2017 and the results were perfect, very natural looking. It took me a while to get an appointment and set things up but the operation went smoothly at a hospital in a city called Cuernavaca that is really beautiful, I spent one night in the recovery house and the remainder in a hotel.
I had breast implants and tummy tuck with Dr. Alfredo Meza Perez in his Mexico City clinic because that was easier for me. I selected Dr. Meza because of his experience and because of his credentials. I was nervous at first because a lot of my prep had to be done by email. But the day of surgery he was so kind and professional. There are good doctors and bad doctors everywhere in the world, but don't be discouraged by people who don't know what they're talking about. The exchange rate made it possible for me to get a level of care that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise.
It actually took me two years to work up the nerve to do this, and believe it or not I didn't do it for anyone other than myself. I ended up with moderate 325 round silicone which will rock in a bikini but didn't raise any eyebrows at work. I feel so much more feminine, trashed all my wonderbras but otherwise just fill in my clothes the way they were made to be filled. I'm glad that I waited but in the end had no reason for concern, it went totally smoothly. I know some other reviews talked about dropping but I haven't noticed that yet, I like the moderate because it will stay perky for some time to come. So far no major life changes but the boost to my self-esteem has been tremendous.
I was unhappy with my breasts since I was 16! Although I wasn't completely flat I wanted some volume and projection to look more feminine. Updated on 7 Dec 2011: My husband Dan and I have been happily married for 7 years and have twin daughters, breast-fed for the first year. I don't know if it's possible to get even smaller after breastfeeding? but that's how they looked to me. So I did this right before my 30th birthday as a present to myself. I'm not entirely unfamiliar with plastic surgery because I had my nose done when I was 19 and I'm involved with media with my job, but I debated a long time on this one, I wanted a significant change but not to come out looking like a Barbie doll. That's what led me to Dr. Meza. Well after trying on all the different sizes I finally decided (believe it or not) on 250cc high profile. The surgery went perfectly. This isn't really a con but if you're having this done you should know that it will take some time for the implants to settle or "drop" and this is really important to keep in mind if you are doing high profile, especially with the swelling. I think it took about a month for me, maybe really three months to where they looked just right. But when I cried the day the bandages came off it was with happiness. Just a footnote: Dr. Meza also operates in Mexico City which was easier for me since I went with my sister for the surgery. We're both city girls so it was fun to do things together. Don't expect too much strenous activity after, I felt fine, but took it easy. Some of my friends ask me is why I did this in Mexico. There's so much negative stuff written by people who don't know what they're talking about or who can't tell the difference between the border and the capital thousands of miles away. I tell them if you find the doctor you trust it's worth it.
I had tried lipo which had decent results but no dramatic change. My main issue was not so much the abs themselves but my waist which had never been well defined, even when I was in my 20s and slender. I was also bothered by the skin around my upper abdomen after years of yo-yo dieting. My tendency was to gain weight in my midline. I lost 10 pounds before I had the surgery done so I would have better results. I am only a bit over two months out and will continue to see improvement, but already I am thrilled with my results. Pros: I went from a 28.5 inch waist pre-op to 24 inches today, without losing my curves. I expected a change but honestly I didn't imagine it would be possible! Of course it has everything to do with my amazing surgeon who knew exactly how to make that happen. Cons: The pain was about as I expected. I had surgery on a Thursday but by Monday the most intense pain had passed. But you really need to rest for a full week or more. I didn't, and that was a mistake. I was discouraged at first at the swelling in my lower abs, but that was temporary. Worth it!!
To feel better about myself. Updated on 16 Feb 2011: Three beautiful children and the laws of gravity left my breasts saggy and made me look older. When my husband and I broke up and I had to get back into the dating scene I lost 20 pounds and felt great, but my breasts were saggier than ever. I originally thought I would do the lift with implants, but eventually decided that I wanted to stay the same size and be all me, even though I would have a scar. I had some pain around the incision area, but I was feeling well enough to get out of bed by the second day and pretty much was able to do most my regular things within a week. I had a slight loss of sensation, more in the left breast than the right, that lasted about 6 months. I decided to go with Dr. Meza because of his location, credentials, and his reputation for this kind of surgery.
Liposuction helps with contouring but in my case after I had my children it was not enough to really give me the look I wanted. Pros: my abdomen is completely flat and taut! Cons: very painful the first week. I had my work done in Mexico and although I had set aside 3 weeks, I didn't get much site-seeing in. Still it was a relaxing recovery. Updated on 20 Mar 2013: Three years out, the scar is almost unnoticeable, and it's still the best decision I ever made. It's a tough surgery but it has real results.
I had my first implant surgery 1997 size 300 with a Dr. I don't remember his name, in 2016 change it to 550, with Dr. Alfredo Meza in Mexico City , he was very honest and advise me that increasing it, I might have some problems in the future, but I told him I wanted to take the risk and I did. At the beginning I LOVE THEM, but this year I started having pain in my arms, back, shoulders and neck, uncomfortable sleeping, and I felt my overall health decline. Besides I stop working out, due to a screw on my right foot that my body started rejecting and I couldn't remove it due to Covid, til last Thursday Dec-17th, but I gain weight. After a one year research, different doctors. I decided to remove my implant, however I don't want to end up flat. I'm actually living in Miami, FL and had several phone calls with Dr. Alfredo Meza, and decided to program a breast implant removal for tomorrow. Since I don’t remember the size of my breast, Dr. Alfredo Meza will remove my big implants, and depending on how much muscle i have he will evaluate if I should put a small implant with lift or just remove and lift. Besides, considering that I will be under anestesia I asked him for a liposculpture and obliques/abdominal etching, I'm not fat, but I do have some. Dr. Alfredo says that I'm a good candidate to have an obliques/abdominal etching, so I'm looking forward to it, but still afraid of the extreme pain that I will have. Dr. Alfredo Meza has been very friendly, respectful and honest. Today in the morning I started having a scared, nervous crisis, I was about to cancelled my surgery. I called Dr. Alfredo and he helped me to evaluate all the pro's and contr's. After a nice conversation, I decided to go ahead, so I will be having my surgery in a few hours, I’m scared cuz I have read that I will be under a lot of pain, but at the same time happy.Updated on 22 Dec 2020: As I wrote in on my first post. I started with the pain of having big implants this year. Moment I started with the pain, moment that I immediately went to two doctors, (for a second opinion) Both of them told me that the pain was related to the size of my implant. Since now I live in Miami I visited different doctors, but at the end I decided to have my surgery with the doctor that put my 550 implants and I'm extremely happy I took that decision. I end up having a 280 implants change, breast lift, lipo sculpture with Abdominal/Obliques Etching. When Dr Alfredo Meza was preparing me for the surgery I remember telling him that if after removing my implants my upper breast was plunged, please fill it in, because my first idea was to remove the 550 implants to take the everyday pain away. I’m not sure how many hours have passed after surgery. I thought I would be in a LOT of pain but I’m having less pain than expected. The pain is similar to the one I had after one day of hard workout at the gym after not going to the gym for months. Probably my IV has some painkiller medication. I'll ask the doctor when he comes. I'm spending the night at the clinic, btw nice place, with extreme sanitation, everybody here has been very nice and the have very good technology equipment. I'm not an expert on equipment, but I was afraid of the anesthesia process, but as soon as a saw all the high technology equipment, and meet all the other team doctors at the surgery room I felt calm. As for now I'm hungry, I am on a liquid diet. My stomach is making a lot noise, that confirms that I am hungry, very hungry, extremely hungry, so to avoid that feeling I’m drinking lots of water (so far 1 liter). Fortunately, Dr Alfredo put me an urinary catheter, so i don’t have to walk to the bathroom. Unfortunately, the feeling of satiety is short-lived, so I keep drinking water. I'll get some more rest. Looking forward to see my body, for now I am bandaged and I can only see part of my lower abdomen and part of my new breast, so far I like how it looks.Updated on 23 Dec 2020: Surgery 3 Dr. Alfredo Meza recommended me to stay at a recovery house hosted by a very nice lady, who makes life simple (meals, medicines, and handles all the cures that have to be done after the surgery). So yesterday she picked me up once the doctor told me I was good to go and rest. Before leaving the clinic the doctor changed my bandage. He says I’m swollen and will put a girdle by Thursday, but for now I have a tight bandage. I'm feeling very tired, I have been sleeping a lot. This is how I look yesterday.Updated on 4 Sep 2021: After one month everything seems to be doing good, in February I started feeling pain in my scars. Updated on 6 Sep 2021: 3 months after my surgery I started having pain in my scars I told the doctor and he told me to use a KitosCell. He lives in Mexico and I wasn’t able to travel until July. Had an appointment with Dr Meza and I was kinda of surprised when he reviewed my scars and told me: “I’ll remove a thread which is still here” In my mind my words were: WHAT???? Then one month after that medical checkup I have been having PAINFUL pain in my breast scars, I’ve tried to reach him with no answer. Send him message to his phone and tried to contact his assistant with no answer. I’m really disappointed. Feel like: “I’ll take care of your questions as long as you we’re about to have surgery”. Is the first time in my life that I’m having keloid scars, I have had other surgeries and NEVER happened. Last week I was checking my breast and felt like a crust, believe or not it is similar as the one I had on that appointment where the doctor he’ll remove a thread which is still here. One more thing: when I planned my surgery I asked for a liposculpture, he NEVER EVER mentioned he will do a mini-lipectomy and leave me a huge scar. In that moment I was in so much pain that I though he did what he had to, BUT I honestly think he SHOULD have told me and I was the one to decide if I wanted that scar or not. I’m gonna find a new doctor to check on crust, I’ll let you know if it was another piece of stitching thread.Updated on 23 Sep 2021: Had a consultation with another Dr. I do have thread stitches (hopefully all of them have been removed) and that’s creating keloids. And the keloids scars are the ones generating pain. he gave me several options, laser sessions or surgery. I have to analyze what’s best for me and if I can afford it. Look this is how I look.
