Carmina Cardenas, MD

After consulting with two other surgeons, I finally found the right doctor in Tijuana for my 360 body lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck — and the difference was immediately clear. From the very first appointment, Dr. Carmina Cardenas demonstrated a level of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care that gave me confidence I was in the right hands. I came prepared with a long list of questions, but she addressed every single one before I even had the chance to ask. She was thorough,

I chose to have a consultation with Dr Cardenas because she had excellent reviews and great before and after photos. I provided all my photographs and filled out the consultation form. The 35 minute audio file I received from Dr Cardenas was so detailed and she noticed things about my body that had never been picked up before. It was extensive and informative. I followed it up with a video consultation. After meeting Dr Cardenas I knew I wanted her to perform my surgery.

I am writing this with tears in my eyes because it is impossible to fully put into words what Dr. Carmina Cardenas and her team have given me. This was not just surgery for me. This was the final chapter of a long, hard, deeply personal transformation. I came to Dr. Cardenas after years of effort, discipline, setbacks, and strength, trusting her with my body and my story — and she honored both in the most profound way. From the very first moment, Dr. Cardenas made me feel safe,

I am a 37yo male who lost about 130lb in roughly a year and a half. I have gained and lost weight my entire life, but this time I reached 280lb and when I dropped down to around 150 pounds, it became very clear that I was absolutely going to need skin removal surgery. When I started consulting surgeons, I immediately ran into a problem: we were not on the same page. Many surgeons in the United States and elsewhere kept telling me I only needed a tummy tuck. That made no sense

From my very first consultation, Dr. Cardenas provided exemplary care. She was honest, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable. She even took time to speak with my parents so they could feel confident and comfortable with the process. Her bedside manner is unmatched. I consulted with multiple surgeons before choosing her, and no one came close to her professionalism, demeanor, or genuine concern for the patient. While other surgeons seemed ready to sell me whatever I asked for,

I had the best experience with Dr.Cardenas and her staff from the start to finish. They walked me through everything that was to happen. From dietary questions to post op recovery house care - which by the way I would pay out of pocket just to be taken care of like I was without surgery. Dr.Cardenas made sure to come and visit at the recovery house and made my stay very comfortable and as painless as possible. I will always remember her telling me "you ask for what ever you need

My experience with Dr Cardenas and her team was amazing from start to finish. As a post gastric sleeve patient after my weight loss I was left with a lot of excess droopy skin as well as some stubborn fat. During my consultation after I reached out to the office and uploaded my pics I received an audio file evaluation which included Dr Cardenas discussing my options and what she thought would give me the best outcome. The audio file was over 30 minutes! Very extensive and informative!
