Beautiful Results

I had the best experience with Dr. Héctor Vela and the entire team at VIVE. From the very first consultation to the post-operative follow-up, the care was simply exceptional. Dr. Vela is an incredibly thorough professional who takes the time to clearly explain every pre- and post-operative instruction, which gives you a great sense of confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process. His guidance is also impeccable—he helps you make the right decisions so the results turn out exactly as you envisioned: beautiful, natural, and in harmony with you. His careful, personalized approach truly makes all the difference. I also want to highlight the VIVE team, who are incredibly kind, warm, and professional. They’re always ready to help you with a smile, which makes the whole experience even more positive. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

Tummy Tuck

Scheduling my Extended Tummy Tuck, Lipo and BBL for July

I am really excited to begin my journey on my body surgery. After a free consultation with Dr. Hector Vela I applied for my passport. He recommended an extended tummy tuck, lipo of the thighs, back, flanks and I want a BBL. I already sent off my application for my passport and got it expedited. So hopefully it should be here by late June early July. I am in the process of picking my date. Dr. Vela does speak English, but the assistant thru Whatsapp I believe only corresponds in Spanish. I am looking forward to flying to Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico and am thrilled and full of excitement on my body surgery journey. This will be my first combo case surgery. He also recommended breast augmentation with implants but that would need to be a second surgery after I recover from the first. He is very reasonable with prices and his Instagram is fire. I'm looking forward to meeting him and going through with my surgery. I will keep you updated. Updated on 24 Jun 2022: These are my before pictures where you can clearly see why the Dr recommend an extended tummy tuck. I will also be getting lipo on the waist, flanks, upper and lower back and my inner thighs. I'm going to also get my BBL. I will also be getting facial fillers, lips done with Juvederm and some Botox on my wrinkles on my face. Updated on 15 Jul 2022: I was able to come on bus and get my extended tummy tuck, lipo and BBL. Everything was great, the staff was caring and friendly and he has me staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Obispado in Monterrey Mexico. I'm not really feeling much pain just a little discomfort but overall the results look amazing and I am very happy choosing Vive Health and Beauty. Dr Vela is very caring and supportive though the whole process, his team makes you feel welcome and at home. I am already walking around and standing and sitting with my BBL pillow with no problems. Would highly recommend.

Tuve Una Excelente Experiencia

Recomiendo ampliamente al Dr Héctor, es una persona super preparada y desde mi primer cita online me explico todo a GRAN DETALLE, y se resolvieron dudas puntuales en visita en físico, me realicé lipo+bbl y los resultados a1 semana superaron mis expectativas, quedé encantada con ello, la recuperación no es dolorosa, ya que el Dr cuida mucho ese aspecto, ademas trabaja con tecnología actualizada e implantes de calidad. Sin duda en 6 meses regresare con el para que me realice operación de busto!!! EXCELENTE DOCTOR!!!

Profesional, Excelente Trato, Amable Atento 100% Recomendable

El mejor cirujano plástico de Monterrey. Desde la consulta de valoración respondió todas mis dudas, con base a mis expectativas y mis proporciones me sugirió el tamaño de prótesis adecuado y me proporcionó una lista de recomendaciones preoperatorias. Realizó mi cirugía de la manera más profesional con el mejor equipo médico y quirúrgico. En las consultas post operatorias siempre el y sus asistentes estuvieron al pendiente de mí, sin duda la mejor decisión que he tomado y una experiencia de por vida, mi hermano después acudió a una rinoplastia con él y quedó feliz. Superó mis expectativas gracias Doctor!

Mommy Makeover

Excelente Resultado, Muchas Gracias Dr Hector Vela!!!! :)

Mi experiencia con el Dr. Hector Vela desde el comienzo en mi consulta y valoracion fue muy satisfactoria, agradable, me dio mucha confianza, seguridad en todo momento, me explico todo respecto al procedimiento que me iba a realizar de la cirugia, que en este caso seria el mommy makeover; al dia de hoy tengo 2 meses de operada y mi resultado fue todo un exito! mas y mejor de lo que yo esperaba, gracias a que El Dr Vela me a dado la atención y seguimiento junto con su gran equipo de trabajo en el transcurso de cada semana y aun asi sigue al pendiente de mi recuperacion, les comparto mi experiencia porque a veces sentimos miedo de muchas cosas, del dolor que podriamos pasar pero saben que? el miedo desaparece cuando estas en las manos correctas, el Dr Vela es Cirujano Plastico estetico y Reconstrictivo Certificado, el dolor es soportable en lo personal no me dolio nada un poco la incomodidad de los drenajes cosa que es normal, la espala baja como si hubiera realizado mucho ejercicio , unas de las dudas que tenemos es como quedara la cicatriz pero eso depende de nuestro cuerpo, me quedo abajo, una linea normal de cicatriz que si me pongo un bikini no se nota, que va disminuyendo con cremas y con el pasar de los dias, pero esa en ningún momento me dolió, estoy segura que las manos del Dr si importan, la atención y el servicio 100% recomendable .. mi resultado cambio mi vida por completo, y claro que vale la pena . Gracias Dr Vela por mi transformacion. Dios lo siga bendiciendo siempre.

I had such an amazing experience, didn’t get any bruising at all and he had some technology that he used on me for the little yellow that I got but I didn’t feel any pain he took care of me, also he has awesome bundles that include the hotel and the hotel is so pretty and it’s legit a minute from the hospital I got my procedure done and it comes with free breakfast and a lovely view but overall I was so happy with my results it’s been officially a yr and my nose looks soooo good
