Zoom about did me in. SnapChat doubled-down. My face had never been my best feature, but I felt "cute enough" that mirrors never bugged me. But somehow on Zoom (almost daily between meetings working full-time in IT and classes in the evenings) I was horrified every time I saw myself. And then that SnapChat filter where it turns you into an "idealized" man or woman? The man one turned me into my brother. Okay, fair enough. But the woman one turned me into a gorgeous woman-- someone

I had little to no bruising at all
This is my second time seeing Dr. Cardenas and I just arrived home yesterday, anxiously awaiting to write this review. I am going to start from the beginning. I was picked up from the airport and directly taken to my private accommodations. It was a beautiful apartment complex with lots of security cams & 24 hour property manager. The apartment is huge and has two bedrooms and a giant living area with a full kitchen. I don’t cook but Uber eats is amazing and they are very
I would not recommend doing a cheek lift. The procedure sounds good in theory, in real life it will be one of the worse choices you make. The skin under your eye is extremely delicate how much would the skin go up. At first I didn't know that the incision was under the eye, I though it was lateral. I had surgery in Aug 202, the day of surgery during my consultation with Dr. Cardenas , he tells me the scar is under the eye, and it made sense cheeks go up no lateral. I regret falling
After looking around for quite a while I was determined at my next transitional surgery to be facial feminization. I originally was only looking at American surgeons although I knew about Cardenas and the TransOp team before doing my main search for surgeons. The primary American surgeon I looked at was Dr. Spiegel in Boston. But prices were way too high for me to do and the longer I waited the more depressed I was from dysphoria. I was quoted some $50k+ from various American
Fantastic Adventure
Must say I was a bit afraid of going to a foreign country for surgery. Never the less, I got a great recommendation from a good friend. I am happy to say that Mexico and Dr. Cardenas were more than the worth of a long journey. Innovare hospital clinic looks fantastic and what is more important they use the latest technologies. Also, everyone speaks English and they have huge experience in medical tourism. I can happily say that the surgery and recovery went with no complications. I

Only Smiles!!!
I have done a nose surgery in a beautiful city of Guadalajara. I am from California, so it was a great tourist and medical trip. It's hard to describe with words just how much Dr. Cardenas has changed my life! He is an incredibly kind and caring doctor. His stuff is amazing as well. About 3 months have past and I was very careful and followed doctors instructions. Therefore I didn't have any complications. They took great care of me in an Innovare hospital clinic. Now all the
Great experience with Dr. Cardenas
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Cardenas. My FFS procedure went about as smoothly as one can expect from major surgery. Since it was my first ever surgery I did feel like I was not prepared for everything as well as I should have been, however; everyone was very nice to help me along. It has been 2 years since and I can say the results look pretty amazing.
So Happy with the Results
Fantastic Surgeon! I'm a repeat client and I've been happy with every procedure that I've received from Dr. Cardenas. The staff is very friendly and helpful, it's worth the trip from the US to Mexico. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Dr. Cardenas is the BEST!
Dr. Cardenas was absolutely amazing! He made me feel very comfortable and safe in his care. He knew exactly what to do and answered every question and concern I had. I had a tummy tuck and a breast lift with augmentation. I highly recommend Dr. Cardenas and his team! I am so happy with my results and outcome. I had no complications. I would definitely go back to Dr. Cardenas for any future surgeries.

FFS with Dr Cardenas
Dr. Cardenas was great, he suggested the procedures he thought would most benefit my face and listened when I was interested in adding other procedures. He gave me all the pros and cons of every procedure and helped me understand what to expect as far as results. Updated on 7 Aug 2018: Here are some before photos. The original photos I sent to Dr. Cardenas, and some others with various makeups. Updated on 7 Aug 2018: The first picture was taken when I woke up in the hospital.
