Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD

I am getting my stitches removed from a mid brow lift and lower Bleph. I can’t see how it will turn out right now as I am still swollen, but I believe I will be very happy with the results. I originally made an appointment for a different surgeon but then switched to Fuentes due to his kindness, gentleness and being so grounded and professional. Dr. Fuentes has been wonderful so far. He knew that I am a single mom and therefore especially nervous about having surgery. He was so kind, patient and calm with me and assuaged all my fears. I can’t wait to have the stitches out and tape off tomorrow and will write a follow up. For now, my experience with Dr. Fuentes has been wonderful.

I flew from the east coast of the US to come to this clinic for Dr Juan Fuentes. I got nose fillers for the very first time (first time for any kind of fillers and face procedure so I was a little nervous). My nose was fractured long time ago and I'm still saving for surgery, so fillers is a temporary and affordable (out of the US) option. Everyone was so nice, the staff who set up my appointment and answered all my questions before I came there. I really appreciate the pick up from the airport, and the staffs guest service when I was there for the appointment. The clinic is nice and clean, and Dr Fuentes has a lot of knowledge and experience. Overall a great experience and I will absolutely return for any other appointments and highly recommend.

I became acquainted with Dr. Fuentes through a hairdresser in San Diego that did hair for clients from Lajolla. He found out who did their cosmetic surgery. That was in the year: 1999. I have known Dr. Fuentes since then. He is a very kind person, and he does excellent work. He is the perfect combination of gifted and always calm. He aims for a natural outcome. I suppose he could tell people that they need more than they do, but he is not like that, He will do what he thinks will achieve the best outcome.

La experiencia de mi cirugia y el resultado fue excelente. Tanto el doctor Fuentes como todo el personal que me atendio fueron sumamente amables y profesionales. Gracias por todas sus atenciones y por su ayuda durante mi cirugia y mi recuperacion.

Thank you, Dr.Fuentes! I am so glad I did my research and found you! I am recommending you to all of my friends who are looking into plastic surgery. You are truly a master and I am so very grateful!! Vida Wellness Clinic is truly blessed to have you!

I originally found Dr Fuentes on Realself. I have been coming to Dr Fuentes every 6 months for several years now for Dermal Filler around the corners of my mouth and the Glabellar lines. At my request he also takes the time to put a Dermal anesthetic cream around the target areas 20 minutes prior. It keeps any pain at a very tolerable minimum. Finally, the results are fantastic. Every time I get this procedure done I am astounded at the amount of lift I see at the corners of my mouth afterwards.

My experience at VidaWellness was amazing! They took great care of me and my Coordinator was so helpful through everything. Pricing was reasonable for the nose job that I got. He also does it to where it looks natural and will tell you no which is great because he doesn't always think about the money unlike other doctors.

After a great deal of research I chose Dr Fuentes for my plastic surgery, including face lift, neck lift, blepharoplasty, fat injections and lip lift, and Dr Fuentes was very prompt and clear in his recommendations as we discussed all the details. I flew to San Diego alone, was met by the clinic van and felt safe every minute. I experienced NO pain at all following surgery and was extremely well-cared for the CosMed Recovery Boutique during recovery. Several months later I could not be happier with the results of Dr Fuentes' talented, skilled surgery, and ability to hide every scar. He is truly an artist, paying attention to every small detail so that even my closest friends cannot figure out what is different except that I look much better; more rested and youthful. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Fuentes for your plastic surgery needs.

As an aging 54 year old, I was looking to have a deep plane face/neck lift & upper/lower blepharoplasty. I found Vida Wellness on Facebook and chose Dr. Fuentes because I saw a lot of his before and after photos of patients with similar procedures. I wanted a refreshed natural look and was worried about the scarring. Dr. Fuentes is truly and artist and knows what he is doing. He was very informative, professional and made me feel comfortable during the whole process. The after-care Boutique was clean and was more like a nice hotel then a hospital recovery. The staff were caring and very supportive. They brought me some yummy Albondiga soup and always checking in on me. I am so BEYOND HAPPY with my decision and my results. I still look like me but I look and feel 10 years younger. The results were subtle but with such a profound difference. The extra loose skin over my eyes and puffy cheeks are gone but my what I am most happy with is that I do NOT have a saggy neck anymore!!! I feel so much better and more confident about my appearance. I definitely got the desired outcome that I wanted and will ALWAYS refer Dr. Fuentes to my friends and family looking for cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Juan Carlos Fuentes did my facelift and he did my lower eyelids and neck. I think his patients, as myself, are like his drawings each time, artistically done, with great care technically. The recovery floor allows time for healing . It is quiet and the staff there are kind. Though I’ve met cosmetic surgeons in the U.S.,I will choose instead to return to Vida Wellness and Beauty. It is very clean and beautiful. And the anesthesiologist was the best I have ever met.I am thankful to have found Vida.,
