Amazing Experience

It wasn’t easy finding a plus size Dr. that would do tummy tuck /lipo, but when I had my consultation with Dr. Castañeda he knew what is was like having loose skin hanging after loosing weight I wanted to get my confidence back. And he did not turn me away. Day of my pre op he first makes sure everything is running smooth and day of surgery he makes you feel at ease. My tummy tuck scaring and brushing look amazing, that amazing it made me go back 2 months after to get my arms

They Truly Care About Their Patients

Unfortunately I was unable to have my surgeries because it was unsafe due to some underlying medical conditions that were unknown prior to pre op. But Dr Castañeda and his team (especially Pilar) were wonderful throughout the experience. They were with me every step of the way trying to figure out what was causing my issues. They did a very good job of keeping me informed and comfortable in a less than ideal situation. And most importantly they truly valued my health over anything

Highly Recommended

? I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Carlos Castañeda, an outstanding plastic surgeon. From the very beginning, his professionalism, expertise, and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. Undergoing surgery away from home can be a daunting experience, but Dr. Castañeda made me feel completely comfortable, informed, and confident every step of the way. His knowledge and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Everything—from the initial consultation

Very Natural Male BBL

Castaneda was amazing at what he did. He gave me a very natural looking BBL, but I was most amazed by how quickly I felt better afterwards! Incisions were tiny and minimal bruising and swelling. Just keep up with the advice. I did go up alone, stayed in the recovery center 2 days and then transferred to quartz, which I think worked out very well for me. I had two days with 24 hour care, and then I felt good enough to transfer to Quartz, which is also a recovery center. I do wish

I'm extremely happy with my results

Dr.Carlos Castañeda performed my gynecomastia breast reduction surgey and 100% would recommend anyone looking to get this done to get it done by this guy. He is upfront, honest, very knowledgeable with experience to back it up and I'm honestly grateful to have found him and consider it a blessing. If your like me a male who was tired of man boobs and had been dealing with since my early teens now 35 consider this a sign that you've found the best doctor for the job hands down

Office review - There are no words to express how happy I am

There are no words to express how happy I am with Dr Castaneda and his incredible work. It was a great experience from the moment I was picked up at the airport. Do yourself a favor and make sure you book with Dr Castaneda and stay at the recovery boutique afterwards. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions

9 months post-op tummy tuck after weight loss - incredible results

Dr. Castaneda, has truly from the bottom of my heart changed my life! I lost a lot of weight and was worried about going across the boarder for surgery but when I came across VIDA the reviews blew me out of the park. I had a skye consultation and I was blown away by Dr. Castaneda and all his knowledge! Adrian, the Dr. right hand lady (assistant), made the entire experience from start to finish so smooth. She is extremely personable, kind, warm, and professional. The hospital
