No scarring, perfect symmetry - developed capsular contracture
Everything was top notch - no scarring and perfect symmetry. However, 6 months later I noticed capsular contracture, lifting one breast an inch. The cost to fix it with 100% chance of not reoccurring was another 14k because of special tissue they use. Staff outside of the operating room were a teeny bit snooty. Outside of that I would 100% recommend Dr Hidaglo, as contracture isn't necessarily caused by the surgeon.

5th breast surgery - spectacular, natural looking results
This was going to be my 5th breast surgery. I'm 65 with a history of silicone implant rupture. I knew that I needed a surgeon that not only had plan A but also had the depth of skill and experience to move to Plan B, C or D if necessary. After consulting with Dr. Hidalgo and discussing many options I knew that he was the right surgeon for me. I trusted his skill and aesthetic judgement completely. He has an incredible eye for symmetry, proportioning, and breast to nipple ratio.
Wonderful Surgeon, Kind and Caring Physician
Dr. Hidalgo is as kind and caring as he is talented. I had a rhytidectomy, or facelift and abdominoplasty. the surgeries were done 3 months apart. I am thrilled with the results and would go back to Dr. Hidalgo without hesitation. His staff is efficient and helpful.

Brilliant Surgeon & True Artist
Dr. Hidalgo is an absolute genius. He has a reputation for natural work – subtle but impactful...and it's well-earned. There are plenty of plastic surgeons who specialize in noses – I saw several of them and typically felt like I was being pitched by salesmen; even though their work is definitely good by all reasonable standards, there is a certain look and formulaic method that they often use. Dr. Hidalgo was the only doctor I met with who took a very individualized and calm

44 Yo with 32 A Decides to Go Bigger, but Remain “natural”
So I went to my dr in nyc (dr Hidalgo). I looked at 100s of photos and he was the only guy that didn’t do mostly fake looking boobs. I wanted a full B (or so I thought). The order ceases fir determining the size implants is a bit flawed as they got very you a 34b bra (equal to 32c) and have you start putting in different sizes. So, if you put in a 300cc implant and it still “fits” in the bra, you are still a “b” according to them. This is not true. So lesson one- forget the bra
Dr. David Hidalgo is the BEST!!
Dr. Hidalgo is an AMAZING cosmetic surgeon. After seeing Dr. Hidalgo's artwork on the walls of his office, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that this physician was not just a surgeon but he was also an incredibly gifted artist. The combination of those two skills was what I wanted from anyone operating on my eyes. I am thrilled with the results of having my upper and lower eyelids done recently. The entire process seemed effortless as Dr. Hidalgo was caring and professional every

Always Needed an Eyelid Surgery but at 45 It Was Really Time - Little York, NY
The surgery was painless, but still scary. Anything done on your face is scary because it is not easily hidden or reversible. But I was surprised at how easy the recovery time was to get in front of people and look normal. The hard part was the lack of exercise, the uncomfortable position sleeping and other obvious post-operative changes you need to make it your life.

5'4, 125lbs - New York, NY- Breast Lift, No Implants, and Liposuction- 38 year old mom of three.
I have hated my chest for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I wore a 34DD bra, and was uncomfortable with the size and the attention they brought. As I matured, and lost my "baby fat" my breasts shrank to a 32C (my happy size), but the shape was never ideal. They sagged and the areola were always larger than I liked. Fast forward to me now, at 38, after having three children (last one at 30) and nursing them all for over a year. You can just imagine what three pregnancies,

52 Yo Mother of 4 with Low Volume and Sagging Due to Breastfeeding and Loss of Weight. 5"4" 122 Lbs - New York
Being a mom of 4 and having breastfed all of them my breasts have gone from an A/B cup to a D or DD with breast feeding. Recently I lost about 20 lbs and most was in my breasts. Now they are sagging and lost most of their volume. Never thought I would be getting breast augmentation but excited about having some volume back! Went to three PS. Two recommended a lift but was not thrilled to have the surgery if I needed to have lollipop scars or scars around my areola. I liked
