Alfonso Gonzalez Cepeda, MD

I had a breast augmentation, full body liposuction, Botox, restalyne and a fat transfer to the fine lines around my upper lip. I have read some reviews from some very unhappy patients of Perfection Cosmetic surgery in Cancun and felt I needed to let everyone know what my experience was like - it was absolutely amazing. Dr Valdez, my patient coordinator Alex, driver Julian and all of the staff at Perfection were wonderful. Dr Valdez took his time throughout my consultation to listen to what I wanted and explain all the procedures to me in detail. He was honest and forthcoming about my results and promised realistic results....which in my opinion are stunning! The facility was immaculate and coming from a medical background I knew what I was looking for in both the doctor, staff and facility and was impressed by everything. My surgery took place on Aug 11/15 and the results were truly better than I even expected. Dr Valdez is a perfectionist and made me proportionate going from an A cup to a C cup, correcting the fact that I had one nipple lower than the other and removed almost 5000cc's of fat from my abdomen, flanks, upper back, inner and outer thighs. If that wasn't enough, they were able to give me the body I had before I had my children back!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience - my patient coordinator Alex and I still talk daily about my recovery and she made the experience such a pleasant one for me - the staff there truly love their jobs!! I will be going back to Perfection to see Dr Valdez again for any other work I choose to have done without question.

I am so happy with my results. I had a lower face and neck lift, lower lids, and brow lift 13 years earlier in the US and the work of this doctor was better. I plan to return. I was scheduled for hip-replacement surgery upon my return to the US, so I had narcotic pain medications with me and the second day, they helped my face. Many doctors do not prescribe narcotics after cosmetic procedures but I advise to have some available, just in case. My scars matured nicely. If you go, do not be surprised by the lack of luxury even at the smallish airport. The clinic is not an upscale, over-sized, showplace by US standards. I did not know about RS when I went, so I did not immediately write a review. I also want to tell everyone to start a savings account, so money will be available as you age. A small amount each month really adds up. I call mine my"face fund" and if an emergency arises I use it and start again. I have friends who say they cannot afford cosmetic surgery but if they had spent $5,000 less on their car or half as much on clothes, it would add up. Cosmetic surgery can accomplish more the nicest clothes, expensive skin care products, and high-end make-up. Remember, it true that when one looks better, they feel better. Self consciousness diminishes and confidence increases even spilling over into other aspects of our lives. I have a serious problem with my leg; so most days I simply do not feel like make-up, hair, and nice clothes but cosmetic surgery results are always there doing their job, no matter how I am doing. No more walking by the mirror looking like hell and not feeling up to doing all the work involved on "spiffing up"! Everyone has seen how getting a fresh haircut or color lifts the spirits of someone unwell, so imagine the effect of a long-lasting cosmetic procedure. Serious illness takes a toll on us especially if it causes weight loss or gain; so when your friend has fought a serious health battle, take them to the plastic surgeon not the salon. In case you are wondering,....Yes, I also probably talk too much.

I just have to say that it is the best thing I have done for myself !! I did my surgery in cancun Mexico by an amazing surgeon Dr gonzales Clinique name perfection everyone was amazing and made me feel good and secure about my decision I'm 5 days post op going back home today !! I'm glad cause i miss my kids and very excited about working on myself !! I highly recommend this Clinique and lady's if this is what you want to do go for it the end result is amazing God bless you all .

I have read several bad reviews of the Dr's of Perfection Cosmetic Surgery Cancun and felt I needed to write my review to hopefully assure anyone who is having second thoughts on choosing this clinic. Let me say DON'T THINK TWICE!! This clinic, it's staff and Dr's are PHENOMENAL!! I just got back a little over a week ago so I'm still recovering, but I can tell you that my procedures and experiences have been amazing!! Robyn my patient coordinator was with me every step of the way and fully explained everything to me from our first meeting, before surgery and to our last meeting before I flew back home, and Inhave had constant contact with her since getting home. I personally had Dr. Valdez as my surgeon, however I had dealings with Dr. Gonzales as well. I have several RN's as friends and 2 of them have been to see me since getting home and both have said that my incisions and everything else looks wonderful and they haven't seen anything better! They both shared with me they have seen other patients come back from other clinics in Cancun with infections and terrible work, and now that they have seen my work they too said I chose well. Since my swelling is still present I cannot share before and after pics but I most definitely will in 6 months time! I have nothing but good to say about this place and feel anyone who goes here will have nothing but the best experience!! Updated on 28 Aug 2015: I'm rounding out at almost 6 months post op. I have gained a little weight back since I was immobile for 2 months after surgery and let's face it I went back to some poor eating habits however I'm now back on track! I will be returning to the Dr's at Perfection in Cancun this coming November to finish up liposculpturing that wasn't able to be done the first time around due to my hemoglobin levels not being high enough to do everything safely. My weight might be up but inches wide I'm close to the same size I was pre op except of course with a much flatter tummy!! I can't wait to even out my larger inner thighs and get rid of the muffin too that still exists after losing nearly 50lbs initially ( I have about 15-20 of that back on but it honestly doesn't look like it) I will post some more pics before and after surgery in a few more months but so far I'm very happy with my results!! Updated on 27 Oct 2015: So in another week I'm officially 8 months post operative. I am also 28 days away from having my second surgery date with a few revisions and finishing up the liposuctioning I wasn't able to have done the first time with everything else I had done as my hemoglobin level were just shy of being able to do it all safely. Thank goodness I can kill 2 birds with one stone again as a friend of mine is getting married in the area and we are attending, so I extended my trip by 3 days so I could enjoy my trip prior to surgery. I'm sure I'm going to have people asking what revisions I'm having done so here they are...I ended up with excessive scarring on part of my belly button that I am not happy with so I am having the doctor fix this as well as I am not happy with the upper pole fullness of my breasts as I feel there is no upper pole fullness. They honestly look no different in a bathing suit top now then they did prior to the lift so bring that I'm not happy with that I figured perfect time to address everything at once because after this I don't plan on having anything else done for a long time. I have included some recent pictures of both my breasts and my belly button. I'm nervous for the liposculpturing as I'm hoping to get amazing results as I have seen from other women on here. I'm diligent in following instructions for the best possible healing outcome so I know I will have no problems there. I'm just overly anxious as I don't know what to expect. Silly I know, especially having already had a tummy tuck and breast lift, but I'm sure the nerves will go away once I get there and the Dr marks me up and I hear his plan again.

I arrived in Cancun MX with my best friend to get the tummy tuck procedure done. Right from the get go Robyn my patient coordinator was nice and easy to work with. She gave all the details of my procedure and it helped south the process. she welcomed me and my friend at the airport with the clinic chauffeur and took us to our hotel. The next day, she came with the chauffeur and they took me to a clinic for Blood work, Ultrasound and EKG. I then went to see Dr Gonzalez who was very very welcoming and explanatory of the whole procedure. He took the time to show me some before and after pictures based on my body type and how big my stomach has gotten after 3 C-sections. The next day I got my surgery around 8:00 am and to tell the truth I don't remember a thing but that I woke up in a very clean room with very nice nurses. I stayed in the clinic that night and went back to my hotel the next day. I recovered quickly (maybe because I had 3 caesarians). I saw the Doctor every day for the next 9 days for check up and even the same day I left I saw him for my last check up. Honestly: I love my new self and would do this procedure again again and again. I am mad at my self I didn't do it as soon as I noticed my stomach was too big. Dr, Gonzalez changed my life with this tummy tuck. He has a very good staff that is very knowledgeable of what they are doing. I would go see him again if I needed to but right now I have a beautiful live to live with my coca-kola shape lollll

I want to congratulate Perfection on their new center! I was a little nervous about what to expect but I quickly saw that I had nothing to worry about. The clinic was really nice. II want to thank everyone at the Perfection clinic for giving me the care that they did. Living with a nose that I felt was too wide and a bump to top it off never felt good. I had my surgery July 18 and I couldn´t be happier. Robyn and Melissa, the two Patient Coordinators were the nicest. They were able to answer all of my questions and make me feel relaxed before and after surgery. Dr. Gonzalez performed my surgery and I knew that I was in capable hands. The packing was taken out of my nose after 5 days and replaced with micro-pore tape for another week to help with the swelling. I´m looking forward to meeting my new nose!

My breast augmentation with Dr gonzalez was more than perfect! It was the best decision i ever made! They look so natural and perfect he also recomended the perfect size acording to my body I highly recomend him! I felt no pain at all and nothing bothered me body, he and everybody there treated me with a lot of respect and cared about me!

In January 2014 I visited perfection makeover and laser center to get a better understanding of what I wanted done. At that time I met with Robyn the patient care coordinator. We talked about my best options for cosmetic surgery and about Dr. Mario Alfonso Gonzalez cepeda and his background in plastic surgery. After going home,back to the states I did tons of research. Spoke with Robyn many times and finally decided to have perfection do my surgery. Robyn is amazing! I was very impressed with the way she cared and quickly answered any concerns or question I had. Once in Cancun Mexico, the driver for prefection , Julian, picked myself and my husband up from our hotel. Along with Robyn we went to a lab to have blood work and ultra sound done,to make sure there were no underlying issues before surgery. We then went to the clinic to meet the Dr. At this time I meet the nurses, was photographed, and Dr. Gonzalez along with his partner Dr. Victor genaro samano Guzman came in and talked with me about my expectations and both discussed what would be the best plan for me. At this point I had not fully quit smoking. Let's just say this was not a good thing. Both Dr. Agreed that it would be to risky to do a full tummy tuck. I was shocked and upset. Robyn was there to console me. Then both Dr. Asked to speak with me, at this time they said that my health was much more important than any surgery. Because of me smoking it was to risky. I was so impressed with them for putting me first! The drs. Came up with a new plan, if I did not smoke again they would do as much as they could without putting me at risk and pushed my surgery back a day so the nicotine would have a chance to leave my blood stream. The drs. Preformed a panniculectomy with partial tummy tuck with lipo. The surgery was almost 4 hours long. I was cared for around the clock by nurses and the Dr. Checked in on me that evening. I spent one day in the hospital. Excellent care by all involved. Very clean and professional at all times. I had multiple follow up appointments. They always sent their driver to pick me up and to return me to my hotel. I always felt like I was the most important patient by all the staff. I am so greatful to everyone involved with my surgery at perfection! If I ever have any other work done I will for sure have perfection do it!! I highly recommend and trust both Dr. Thank you for everything you have done to improve my self-esteem and looks! Updated on 1 Aug 2014: Feeling good but probably need to rest more but it is hard with 3 kids. Skin and incision is very itchy!! Lol Updated on 1 Aug 2014: Oh and my compression garment is my best friend.. I slept one night without it on to just get a break from it. I was so sore and stiff when I woke in the morning. For now it just feels so good on, its like it holds you together and without it on i feel like my abdomen is week and loose. I did buy a small compression band at the local babies r us to have when I am washing the other or just to have as a back up, I have worn it when I went to dinner and wore a shorter sun dress and didn't want the legs and straps to show from the garment my Dr. Gave me. Updated on 14 Aug 2014: So I tried to go back to work at 4 weeks post op...hahaha..not so fast!! I worked one day and was in bed for the next day and a half. This week I am 5 weeks post op. I worked in the yard yesterday and worked at my job today. I am in actual pain tonight. A little frustrated because I was feeling so good. I am also more swollen this evening too. Otherwise my incision looks great. I bought a scar jell to put on it. I love it. It took out some inflammation I had on my scar. Still happy I had my surgery!

I decided after so many years to have lipo on my hips and legs. I've always eaten right and worked out 4-5 times a week but could never lose the extra fat and I always got more frustrated and upset. A friend recommended Dr. Gonzales to me. She had some work done on her (face lift)a few years ago and said how great her experience was. I can't stop thanking my friend now because it's only been a week since my surgery and I have to say that I love love love my results so far! Less bruising then I thought! Dr. Gonzales, Robin (the wonderful patient coordinator who held my shaky hand when I got nervous), and the rest of the people working there treated me like a queen. I see a face lift with them in my future. PS...Can someone get me the recipe to that Mexican chicken dish their chef made me for lunch? ha ha

My experience with Perfection, Robyn, Dr Alfonso Gonzales Cepeda and the rest of the Doctors and staff, was wonderful. I was somewhat nervous when I first arrived but the Doctors and staff eased my nerves with their friendly nature and made sure I was very well informed of what was happening every step of the way. I felt like I was part of the rich and famous at a private surgery center including nursing care at my bedside all night long. The care was over the top wonderful!! A friend mentioned that the clinic had gone through some changes recently but you can all be confident that Perfection is top notch and on the right track. Concentrating on what is really important...good value, excellent technique and personal care for a fair price. The pre-op and post-op information is great and really helps with expectations. I would recommend you all without hesitation. I am extremely happy with my results. I wish you all the success in the world and I know that I will be back for more of your wonderful work in the future. A very happy customer and friend. Martha P. From North Idaho
