Dr. Bucio and staff are professional, efficient, and kind! I had excellent care from the initial phone call through recovery. Travel from San Diego to the surgery center was easy & comfortable. The onsite recovery staff provided wonderful care. TI would highly recommend Dr.Bucio, his staff, and Vida Wellness!
I don’t even know where to start I got my surgery 5 days ago and Dr.Bucio/ Dr. Enrique and his coordinator Anna and the whole team made the process so easy. I truly felt like I was on vacation while getting this surgery done. It was painless and so easy! Thank you to everyone at Vida!
From the moment I contacted Doctor Bucio’s team, I knew I had in good hands. I was able to secure a video call with the doctor and his team; they explained the entire process and were able to answer all questions I had. I booked a breast lift with implants in March 2023 and had my surgery in May 2023. Even after I paid the security deposit, the team continued to check in on me and held my hand throughout booking a hotel and ensuring my transportation to and from the clinic was smooth. During surgery, the Doctor and his team were exceptional; I had very little to no bleeding, and although it has only been less than two weeks since my surgery, my healing process has been fast, and my pain level very minimal— I am positive the reason to my fast healing. Minimal pain is because of the fantastic work of Doctor Bucio.
I am very grateful for Dr. Bucio. He recently did a liposuction 360 plus a BBL and I am very happy with the results. I live in California so the initial consultation was video call and he is very easy to talk to, professional and made me feel very comfortable. Then when I arrived to Mexico at Vida wellness clinic I met his amazing team through my stay at clinic such as , Dr. Pena (anesthesiologist), Alejandro (RN) and Ana Karen (coordinator). Everyone was very attentive to all my questions and needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Bucio. Thank you so much again!
2016 I had lipo with Doctor Bucio after the birth of my fist child. Nov 10, 2022 I got a time tuck and lipo 360 after the birth of my second child. The work he did exceed my expectations. He did an amazing job and I am more than happy with my results. He made me feel so comfortable before and after the surgery. Alex, the nurse was also very kind and was just one call away. Briana, was so helpful and very patient with me as I can be very demanding lol. Thank you guys you guys are awesome at what you guys do. Doctor Bucio is the best doctor in the world! I am so happy with how you left me. I could go on and on about how great you are at what you do. Thank you!d
i love this doctor! I had to adjust my breasts as they turned out to be originally very different sizes. I'm a first-born child in from my mother and those are likely to have more imperfection & asymmetry than the children of the mother might have next. To me it was my breasts extremely asymmetric :) My first surgery was over 15 years ago with a different doctor in NYC, but it's well proven one has to update implants every 12 years or it's bad for your health. I found Dr Bucio online because i lived close to Tijuana that year, he updated my old implants so well! i'm so impressed. You can see from photos :) i also wasn't in pain like from nyc doctor, i only took ibuprophen once but then i realized i don't need it. There is some inflammation from any surgery always, it makes you a bit dizzy for a couple of weeks but thats it with doctor Bucio. I'm so grateful. He's also very personable, kind and gives you the best suggestion.
Hi my name is Melodya and recently had surgery and for the short period of time I can see the wonderful results . Dr Bucio has incredible knowledge in plastic surgery I highly recommend him for reconstructive plastic surgery and also his dedication to his Patients. Thank you !!
It was very important to me to have a good experience and all of Dr. Bucio's staff treated me as family including himself. Everyone made me feel comfortable and has been taking such good care of me. I'm recovering very well! And I am beyond happy with my results ! I have a small waist and natural looking butt which is exactly what I wanted since I'm a petite girl! I plan to get a boob job in the future and I will drive hours just to come back to him and his amazing staff!
I’m a 38 yr mom of 5 (5’4 and 155lbs at surgery, 142lbs now) and I’ve gained and lost 50-70lbs with each baby. I had a lower body lift with a muscle repair tummy tuck and BBL with Dr. Bucio in December 2020. Although the surgery was extensive and the recovery was rough, the results are incredible!The care I received after traveling from Hawaii for my surgery was amazing. I stayed at the VIVA wellness center where my surgery was performed for a week to recover. The nurses were exceptionally caring even though we didn’t speak the same language (I just used Google translate on my phone and it worked fine). My measurements went from 36-31-38 to 36-28-41 and I couldn’t be happier.I do caution anyone considering this surgery to realize the recovery was long and tough. My mom had to move in with me for 5 weeks, I couldn’t drive for 6 weeks, live was miserable for a while. I would do it again in a second though! I highly recommend Dr. Bucio, all his staff and Vida Wellness after my amazing experience. I unfortunately can’t get the before pics to upload but these are 6 months after surgery.
Dr. Bucio was amazing and delivering exactly what I wanted. I wanted to be conservative and he gave me what I once had. Perky and full breast, but not over the top. Very natural and beautiful. Tummy tuck incision was done very well and definitely followed the bikini line. Incision has healed beautifully and it’s starting to fade. And I’m dark olive skinned , but considering I never tanned in that area it’s fading. BBL I was more worried about this one because I didn’t want people noticing and saying oh she got a BBL. I left it in his hands and kept telling him less is more. He knew what to give me and I’m so happy with it. It looks like a upside down heart. I think the best compliment is when people see me and say you look great . They can’t exactly pin point what I had done. Thanks so much for everything. The entire staff was amazing, attentive and professional. From my coordinator Itza to his RN Alejandro.
I wouldn’t combine those procedures. That is not a Mommy Makeover, an artificial cage term. The most commonly associated procedures are Breast augmentation or lift, and some combination of Liposuction, Tummy Tuck and BBL. Arm o thigh lift should be reserved for separate procedures. Safety first.
