100% Recomendado
I had a tummy tuck, Lipo 360, and a BBL, and I truly could not recommend a better surgeon. From the very beginning, Dr. Arenas and his entire team provided exceptional care. They made me feel comfortable, safe and well-informed before and after my surgery. I am beyond happy with my results! They exceeded my expectations. I also traveled for my procedure and even after I returned home, their team continued to follow up and check on me. Anytime I had questions, they were incredibly

Best Decision I've Ever Made!
Got lipo360+BBL with Dr.Arenas on March 9 2026. I wanted to choose a surgeon who first and foremost would be a good person and would prioritize safety above all. When I looked at Dr.Arenas Instagram, I loved how most of his posts were more about knowledge sharing and showing appreciation for his staff and patients and got a very good vibe. I looked at several doctors around the world but booked with Dr.Arenas without a hesitation. I was so anxious about the surgery but all the

The Best Doctor!
To say I had an amazing experience with Dr. Arenas would be the biggest understatement ever. From the first time I met him on a zoom call, he made me feel comfortable and confident that I was making the right decision. His staff are just as amazing and Fatima is a gem. I had my procedure on January 8 and left the hospital the next day. My husband and I rented an apartment for two weeks in Guadalajara and Dr. Arenas' office arranged for a nurse (Fer is the BEST) to come everyday

I Had an Excellent Experience
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Arenas. He and his team provided me with excellent care. The entire process, from the very beginning, was a pleasant experience, thanks to the communication with Liz. Their attention is personalized, with carefully explained instructions and exemplary follow-up. The doctor performed an abdominoplasty on me, and on the day of my appointment, everything was organized for the surgery due to the limited time I had available to be in the city.

An Experience Better Than I Ever Could Have Imagined!
I can’t express how much I love Dr Arenas and Fatima! They are a dream team. I feel like I have a new chance at life free of any limitations caused by my breasts. I stare in the mirror every day in awe at how natural and incredible Dr Arenas’ work is. The entire hospital staff treated me like they truly cared about my wellbeing, comfort, and were literally holding my hand throughout the entire day of the surgery. At no point did I feel alone or fearful. I could write forever about

Great Experience!
I had a great experience with my surgery. I had considered having my surgery with another doctor, but I didn’t feel confident with him. Luckily, I found Dr. Arenas, and from the moment I reached out to his team, I felt safe and secure with him and his staff. I live outside the country, so we had an online appointment. He answered all my questions and resolved all my doubts. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients and would never recommend anything that isn’t beneficial.
