VIDA Wellness and Beauty

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.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr Quiroz . From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. He is not only incredibly skilled but also compassionate, attentive, and professional. His work exceeded my expectations, and I truly believe he is number one in the world at what he does. I felt completely comfortable and confident in his care, and the results speak for themselves—absolutely flawless. If you are looking for the best plastic surgeon, look no further than Dr Alejandro Quiroz Just close your eyes and trust him.

I’m a few months post-op and can confidently say that choosing Dr. Alejandro Quiroz and Vida Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Dr. Quiroz is not only highly skilled, but brings an infectious enthusiasm, humor, professionalism, and a calming reassurance to every interaction. He’s a true class act—approachable, caring, and clearly passionate about what he does. The boutique hotel staff was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and accommodating with meals tailored to my dietary needs. Those thoughtful touches really made a difference. Luciana, the esthetician, was such a joy—so sweet, easy to talk to, and incredibly reassuring. She helped me feel calm and taken care of in those early recovery days. If you're considering surgery, here's something important I’ve learned: don’t compare your healing to others. Everyone recovers at their own pace, and real results take time. Be patient with yourself—trust the process. Although I personally felt safe traveling, I encourage everyone to do their own research. Vida Plastic Surgery is located in a great area with nearby shopping and restaurants. I ventured out often with another patient I met during the process, and we felt completely safe and supported. The clinic itself is beautiful, tastefully decorated, and creates a truly pampering environment. From Roberto the kind driver, to the nurses, coordinators, and additional doctors—every single staff member was warm, respectful, and professional. Without a doubt, I’ll return for future services. I’m so grateful to Dr. Quiroz and the entire Vida team for this incredibly positive and empowering experience.

Four months ago, I had a deep plane facelift also with a brow lift with Dr Quitoz from the AIDA Clinic in Tijuana Mexico. Firstly, I would like to say the facilities at the clinic at five star accommodation was awesome. The food was great and all the staff that work there we’re just incredible.Dr Quitoz Performed the procedure and here we are four months down the track, and I am totally thrilled with the results I could not have asked for anything better than what he delivered.And his staff The coordinator Rocio and Violeta Were very responsive to all communications before the procedure, and afterwards can’t speak highly enough how Professionallyof this company If I could give them seven stars, I would, so please don’t hesitate to give them a call you will not regret it. Thank you to all the staff involved in my journey. It is very much appreciated.

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.

As an aging 54 year old, I was looking to have a deep plane face/neck lift & upper/lower blepharoplasty. I found Vida Wellness on Facebook and chose Dr. Fuentes because I saw a lot of his before and after photos of patients with similar procedures. I wanted a refreshed natural look and was worried about the scarring. Dr. Fuentes is truly and artist and knows what he is doing. He was very informative, professional and made me feel comfortable during the whole process. The after-care Boutique was clean and was more like a nice hotel then a hospital recovery. The staff were caring and very supportive. They brought me some yummy Albondiga soup and always checking in on me. I am so BEYOND HAPPY with my decision and my results. I still look like me but I look and feel 10 years younger. The results were subtle but with such a profound difference. The extra loose skin over my eyes and puffy cheeks are gone but my what I am most happy with is that I do NOT have a saggy neck anymore!!! I feel so much better and more confident about my appearance. I definitely got the desired outcome that I wanted and will ALWAYS refer Dr. Fuentes to my friends and family looking for cosmetic surgery.

I would give Dr Quiroz and his team 100 stars if I could! My experience was more than I could have hoped for. I wanted to get ready for my 50th birthday in March. Had my surgery in November. I was scared going to another country at first but the clinic is so nice! I stayed there for four days in the recovery boutique. All of the nurses were so kind and took amazing care of me. The food was homemade and delicious. It was super convenient to stay there because when I would need to go to the appointments for Dr Quiroz to check me the nurses would just come and get me from my room and we would go. This place was nicer than any hospital I’ve been at in the US and I felt like Dr Quiroz was so knowledgeable and really went avibe and beyond my expectations. It’s only been 4 months and my scar is fading and not noticeable at all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr Quiroz! You made my birthday wishes come true!

Very happy with results! Would definitely do again. Looking back, I would ask more about the long recovery and where sutures would exactly be. Make sure to secure the Recovery Suite before selecting a surgery date.

My experience was more than I thought it would be. I am 3 months post a deep plane facelift. So, here's my "short" story. I researched Dr. Qurioz for a month before I finally set up a video consultation with him. It was brief but he took the time to answer all of my questions. I had interviewed quite a few Doctors, and I narrowed it down to Dr Quiroz and a doctor in GA. I chose Dr. Quiroz because I could stay and get the care I needed at the facility. They required me to be at the facility 2 days before surgery to get checked in, blood drawn and settled in before surgery. When I flew to San Diego, a Vido shuttle bus picked me up at the airport. Once at the facility, I was checked in and they took my blood work, blood pressure etc. The cardiologist had the personality of a rock. I was taken to my room where I would stay post-surgery and for the next 5 days. They are very well organized and friendly. The facility was clean, and the cleaning crew were constantly cleaning which was cool by me. My room was very nice and private. I was extremely nervous the day of my surgery, but a nurse gave me a pep talk and encouraged me that everything will be ok and I'm going to love my results. After surgery I stayed in my own private recovery room for the 1st 24 hours. I was in and out of sleep, but I remember Dr Quiroz coming in to check on me. I had no pain at all. To make a long story a little short, I was taken to my private room where I was able to get good rest. The staff checked on me at least three times a day. The entire staff on the second floor is AMAZING! They brought me three meals a day and let me tell you the food was soooo good and very healthy! Sometimes I wanted a little snack which was no problem due to the snack area that is on the same floor and was outside of my room. It had a cozy sitting area inside or you can go outside and sit and enjoy the little waterfall. There's a rooftop area with a beautiful view especially at night. The staff made sure I was comfortable and brought me my medication each day. They cleaned my surgery areas each day, took my blood pressure, and checked my temperature. They changed the linen on my bed as well. I felt so cared for and so special that I forgot there were other patients on the same floor in which I am sure received the same treatment. One nurse told me "it is her job to take care of me and it was my time to relax and be pampered and that she loved making me feel welcomed and pampered". On the 5th day my stitches were removed which didn't hurt at all. Afterwards, I left to fly back home, still no pain. Now let me tell you, there will be discomfort but not pain. My face felt extremely tight and that do not go away right away. I am 3 months post-surgery, and the tightness is somewhat still there but not as much as the first two months. The shuttle bus took me back to the airport. I know we all have researched, and we see people looking fabulous in just seven days and have their cute make up on. That was NOT the case for me. I was bruised and swollen. By the second week, the bruising and swelling was subsiding and i began to look normal again. I returned to work my 3rd week. I could've gone back in 2 weeks, but I decided to give myself an extra week. I hid the scars behind my ears with my hair, I wore bangs to hide the scars on my eyelids. As of today, I cannot see scars around my ear on my face, you cannot tell I had surgery, but the scars behind my ears are still fading but visible, but not bad. I still hide those with my hair. The scar underneath my chin is still visible, a light scar but no one notices it. The scar on my upper eyelids is visible on one eyelid and completely gone on the other eye. No one knows it's a scar, only I do because I know what I had done. I put a tiny bit of make up over and its like it's not even there. Keep in mind I am brown skin, so scars show on my pigmentation a bit more than lighter skin. People, please give yourself time to heal and do not think you're going to look like the people you see on social media looking so fabulous just days after surgery. I am not going to lie, there were a few times I panicked on my 9th and 12th days after I got home because I was not looking like those ladies on social media. I kept contacting the staff at Vido like what is wrong with me that I still look like Shrek lol. They always responded to my texts and emails and never made me feel stupid for feeling a little afraid. You WILL feel discomfort due to the nerves healing and oh that is a weird feeling. My face is still numb, but I am getting my feeling back slowly but surely. My advice is to follow Dr Quiroz's instructions and do what you are supposed to do. Stay away from direct sunlight, alcohol and sleep upright on your back. Be patient patient patient. This surgery is not for you if you are looking for quick results like botox or you're an impatient person. People I know cannot tell I've had anything done. A couple of friends said I look young, but they think it's because I changed my hairstyle lol. People who do not know me say I look young for my age. My kids say they do not see a difference because I have always looked young for my age. I'm praying it just gets better and better in these next few months. I want to look YOUNG shucks LOL! I need my look to match my energy :). Dr Quiroz is very nice; his staff is very nice. The young lady that does the lymphatic drainage massages is extremely funny and for her to be so young she has the best stories :). I have to mention Violeta, the sweetest, kindest, and friendliest person you'll ever meet. She made sure all of my concerns were addressed especially when I returned back home. I totally recommend staying at the facility post-surgery, you will not regret it. They made everything so much easier and took a lot of pressure off me and my family. Oh yeah, my children were very concerned about me going out of the country to have a major surgery by myself. So, my son flew out the day of my surgery. Vido made sure my son was settled into my room (the rooms have two beds). Vido shuttle bus picked him up from the airport as well and took him back when he left. They brought him food too. He called my other children and told them there was nothing to worry about, I was being well taken care of.
