Pedro Puebla, MD

I looked for a long time for a plastic surgeon who others had said they felt safe in their care. Through YouTube I came across multiple past patients who had excellent experience with Dr. Puebla and his staff. With his 32+ years experience, and multiple certifications in plastic surgery, to include the American Plastic Surgery, and performing his surgeries in a hospital I decided he was the plastic surgeon (PS) for me. I had my PS on 5/19/25, and the night before I checked into the hospital, and all blood labs were redone, chest xray, and EKG. Then a internal medicine hospitalist made their review of my results. The staff at the hospital was amazing, and gave me a sleeping pill to help me sleep as I was very nervous. I did bring hibiclens with me to take my shower the night before the surgery. Dr. Puebla came to the room, marked me up, and I visited with the anesthesiologist. At the time of my consultation before the surgery Dr. Puebla explained that there is always a second PS in the operating room for safety if something was to happen to him, but he does the surgery. The safety I felt from his entire staff/team helped me go through with the surgery. I am 4 weeks post op now, and each day is getting better. I had a TT, Muscle Repair, breast reduction and lift without implants, lipo on my back, upper arms, and inner upper thighs. I stayed at a recovery house for 6 days, and during that time I got 2 lymphatic massages with U/S from Dr. Puebla's RN, and did 2 hyperbaric therapy from a different provider. I will say flying home 6 days after surgery was rough, but I made it. I highly recommend a recovery house after a mommy makeover. Dr. Puebla's assistant Stephanie is amazing with her support from the time I first contacted her for an online quote for the surgery, and still now always available to answer questions as I recover. I talk a lot about safety as I did not want to have an elective surgery go poorly and cause health issues for me in the future. The recovery is not easy when you have multiple procedures done at once, and I am in my 50's so that also is to take into consideration. For reference, on my health, I have no past medical concerns, and exercised 4 times a week, cadio and weight lifting. I am too shy to put my pictures online, but Dr. Puebla has multiple examples of his work on other social media sites for you to look at. Dr. Puebla and his team took care of me, and I appreciate the extra steps to ensure I was ready for the surgery.

After loosing about 55LBS over the last 2 years through diet and exercise I ended up with a deflated body of loose flappy skin and actually think I looked worse than when I was heavier in some ways.

I spent a long time looking for the right doctor that was safe, affordable and provided consistent results.

I found some other you tube videos for girls who had gone to Dr. Pedro Puebla and were ecstatic with their results.

I had a lot of loose skin, a boxy stomach, “fatty man back,” and a hanging flabby genital area. I absolutely HATED my rib cage area and kept accumulating hard fat around the area and inherited the “fatty man back” from my grandfather’s side.

I had already had a breast reduction in 2015 and had previously had lipo that caused my abdomen to look even worse than before.

Dr. Pedro Puebla is an absolute MIRACLE WORKER! He’s also the safest, strictest and cleanest doc in Mexico with ZERO major complications or deaths in 30 years of practice.

His incisions are literally perfect and so clean cut. He took off 6lbs of skin on my front and back and took 4lbs of fat out. He put 2lbs back in my hips and butt to give me a nice contour I’ve never had! He also repaired my abdominal muscles and sewed 3.5 inches back together at two levels.

I couldn’t be happier! I’ve been staying at a recovery house called Heal House in Mexico and other women that go to other doctors here tend to have complications from what I’m seeing. I’ve had general pain and stiffness, but no complications at all!

This is a very tough recovery ?and not for the faint of heart. You are literally cut in half and sewed back together.

Dr. Puebla is the MASTER of tummy tucks and you cannot go wrong IMO choosing him! He’s so confident and humble all at the same time. I’m so glad I went through with this and was in such safe hands in the cleanest and safest hospital in Mexico.

Here’s how I’m looking 6 days post op after my 3rd lymphatic massage. Drains are still in, but draining significantly less now). Definitely still swollen. Bruising in my back is diminishing and I’m able to stand up a little straighter today.

Updated on 17 Oct 2023:
Drains and stitches removed. Pain is less in terms of the actual surgical sites, but now the back pain has kicked in from being pulled over from the muscle repair. Trying to stand up straight feels so difficult and I can’t walk for long distances.

Feeling much better. I’m still wearing my faja and I’ve noticed I feel better with it on actually. Very happy overall with my result. I’m just hoping the swelling continues to go down on the sides of my abdomen soon.

Doctor does great work, I had a breast lift with implants a BBL, lipo 360 and Tummy tuck all at the same time and his work was amazing my recovery was great. Very professional, he performs surgery in Hospital Angeles and his office is in the twin tower which is perfect all in one experience. My life was in his hands and I thank him. His staff answers quickly, I would NOT recommend the HEAL RECOVERY, the houses always have steep steps there staff was very rude, they don't have a phone number. I would recommend the GRAND CARE they have hospital bed which you will need and bathrooms with rails. Trust Dr Pedro Puebla he is great!

Awesome The staff is wonderful the doctor is excellent they treated me so well like family my results all I can explain their awesome far as the pain it was a one day pain and I was only after surgery but they are so awesome the food is awesome the respect man I don’t know it’s like family

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Puebla and staff. Very professional and excellent bed side manners. I had a tummy tuck and BBl easy recovery no complications. Flew into San Diego, his driver picked us up at airport and took us back. Everything went nice and smooth! Scheduled for round 2 soon.

I chose this doctor because he is safe, professional, honest, and his staff is amazing. His coordinator Stephanie is prompt in her responses and very thorough. My fist time meeting the doctor was when I walked in to make my deposit. He happened to be there and saw me for a consultation. He was extremely honest, thorough, and answered all my husband’s questions. He has never had a death or serious complication. We were also very pleased with his anesthesiologist and assistant surgeon. He performs the surgery at the hospital and not a surgery center. All of the staff in the hospital was very accommodating and helpful during recovery.

12 days post op. Got my drains removed. Can't wait to continue to see improvements. I haven't had any complications. Slight soreness on my back from lipo, but beside that nothing concerning to report.

Updated on 21 Aug 2020:
Feeling pretty good lately. I have been self-massaging and that has helped the swelling to subside. The only thing that is bothersome is the itching on my back and sides, I'm assuming from lipo. I'm also having a hard time finding a faja that is not tight on my thighs and butt but compresses the tummy.

Every day the swelling does get better. I have started using the Kitocell Dr. Puebla prescribed . I love my bellybutton. I feel like it's the perfect size. I am excited to see my scar in a few months and how much it lightens. I do massage the kitocell into it for a few minutes twice a day.

I just started working out on Tuesday. The fist day was a realization that I'm definitely not ready to do abs. I have been working on my legs and arms. I am still very happy with my results. Dr. Puebla's coordinator Stephani still checks on me from time to time. I appreciate the open communication and not feeling like you are bothering them. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

I am very happy with my results. I can't believe this is my body. I wished for this for so long. Dr. Puebla, his assistant Dr. Julio, his anesthesiologist, Stephanie, his nurses, driver, receptionist all are very helpful and accessible. I would only trust him with my life, literally.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr Puebla and his team!!!! In November 2018 I had a tummy tuck, lipo and bbl. I went back again this month for additional liposuction. This Dr is extremely good and honest with what you should expect your results to be. I went into surgery weighing 217 lbs and he said he would do his thing but wouldn’t make me skinny, I had to do that on my own. I still went through with my surgery because I wanted my mothers apron gone!!! I honestly didn’t even care about getting the bbl. I am extremely happy with my results and with the customer service I received before, during and after my procedure. His assistant is magnificent!

Still absolutely in love with my results. I went back to him July 2020 for additional upper back lipo, he did recommend a bra back lift if I wanted to get rid of my access skin, but I rather have the skin than the scar.

Hello I am a 27 year old who is done having kids, 3 kids and all with c sections! I am ready to start scheduling my appointment and I have chosen to go Dr. Pantoja, i am super excited yet super nervous! Can anyone give me advice on which recovery home to stay at ? Any tips ? Thank you

I had my surgery with Dr. Puebla on June 2020, and let me just say from his team picking me up from the San Diego airport to his nurses , his assistant, they were all so professional and nice and informative. I was so nervous going to Tijuana all on my own and having a big surgery, but once I met his assistant and dr. Puebla, I knew I was in the best hands, I felt so comfortable going into surgery! I am loving my results and I know it will just get better, thank you Dr. Puebla and his team for making me feel confident in my own skin!

almost died after having surgery with Dr. PUEBLA at hospital Angeles and used heal recovery home. I know most people like him, but beware of your safety. I am a medical professional in US and they didn't listen to me and I'm having severe issues and they are taking no accountability. I was told I wouldn't be seen til next day 8am, I asked to be seen same day they refused. I left TJ and flew back to US where i was diagnosed with wound dehisence from TT, hemmoraghic shock from TT site, and septic shock from BOTH breasts. I express concerns throughout whole.hospital and recovery home stay and was told everything was normal, was in severe pain the most in my whole life and they didnt give me any adequate meds. I'm glad I stopped doubting myself and went to the US to seek treatment. I was hospitalized for 15 days after and still need tons of treatment and off work time. Ask any doctor you see what is their process for managing specific postop complications.
