Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD

After years of searching, I entrusted Dr. Juan Carlos Fuentes with my breast augmentation and other procedures, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. His technical mastery, refined aesthetic eye, and genuine dedication to patients produce results that are natural, flawless, and elegant. The clinic and team provide an exceptional, world-class experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fuentes and will continue to entrust him with my care, confident that anyone in his hands will be in the very best of care.

Procedure: Facial Rejuvenation (Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift ± adjunctive procedures---upper lower bleph, lip lift, fat grafting) Provider: Dr. Juan Carlos Fuentes Location: Tijuana, Mexico After extensive research, I chose Dr. Juan Carlos Fuentes for my facial rejuvenation—and I am very glad I did. Dr. Fuentes is an exceptionally skilled and thoughtful surgeon. He took time to understand my goals, explained each step of the procedure in detail, and provided realistic expectations. As a healthcare professional myself, I appreciated his clear communication and clinical judgment. The surgical experience was very well organized. Anesthesia was administered and continuously monitored by a board-certified MD anesthesiologist, and the facility was clean, modern, and professional. Post-operative care and follow-up were excellent. I also want to highlight Briana Naredo, Dr. Fuentes’s clinical assistant, who played a key role in making this experience smooth and reassuring. She was consistently responsive, organized, and compassionate, helping coordinate logistics and providing guidance during recovery. Her professionalism and attentiveness were invaluable. At just 10 days post-op, my results already look natural and refreshed—no tight or overdone appearance, just a softer, more youthful version of myself. My jawline, neck, and facial contours have improved significantly, and I’m confident the final outcome will be even better as healing continues. Traveling internationally for surgery can feel intimidating, but Dr. Fuentes and his team made the entire process feel safe and seamless. I would absolutely recommend him to patients seeking high-quality facial rejuvenation with natural-looking results.

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 I originally made an appointment for a different surgeon but then switched to Fuentes due to his kindness, gentleness and being so grounded and professional.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.
