I am Canadian and found Dr Marco Rodas thtough medical tourism. I had a gastric sleeve through them in 2017 and experienced amazing results and support from the team. I contacted MTC and within 24hrs i was booked with Dr Rodas. I already knew the Surgical team at LIMARP Tijuana Mexico and booked it do to knowing and trusting them. I flew from Trinidad to San Diego and will fly back home to Canada from here. A driver picked me up at Dan Diego Airport. My flight. pick up, prior arrangements and booking with Medical tourism made it so easy and i did not have to stress about anything. I arrived late at 11pm in my pre booked Grand Hotel room. I booked this myself but had the option to book through medical tourism aswell which i did prior in Sept 2017 when i had my gastric sleeve done some place.

I slept well and was ready and relaxed when Anna from MTC came to get me at Grand hotel. We walked to the next building the twin tower to LIMARP. All my blood work and EKG was done and payment made. Included in my package was stockings, 2 bras, all antibiotics, pain killer, implants, surgery, nurses, private room you name it. I paid and got my receipt and made couple calls to my family and friends at home via WhatsApp.

I then met Dr Marco Rodas face to face, we spoke about the shared information on WhatsApp and email. I showed him pictures of what i wished and dreamed my breast to look like. I had been told by my previous Canadian plastic surgeon that my breast implants were Saline under the armpit and i had 450cc each side. Strange enough Dr Rodas gave me my old implants and showed me it was only 360cc .

I had many questions, raised my concerns and wishes about my new breast implants. He was honest. listen well, explained all about what was necessary to be done from the medical and esthetic standpoint. He is very educated board certified, skilled and experienced surgeon. After he answered all my questions and concerns he went over the procedure one more last time. He marked me up and I got prepared by the nurses to roll in to surgery.

I woke up 1hr later and had NO PAIN. NO NAUSEA, NO SORENESS OR DISCOMFORT. I felt my boobs and yes they were big and tight. Dr Rodas explained all had gone well and he had done a procedure call capsulectomy..My old implants had been flipped over and the musvle had capsuled it in to protect it. He had to release the muscle and sutured up the pockets on each side so the new implants would not go under the arm. He told me The surgery went well and as planned and after all i did not need a lift. My new implants are 550cc each side which he was able to place simply through the areola incision. I really did not want a lollipop to avoid scar tissue.

1 hr after i started walking and i felt like nothing ever happened to me. I slept well all night but walked 3 times a good 20 minutes since surgery with in 24 hrs to avoid blood clots.

Dr Rodas checked 3 times on me in person with in the 24hrs and other Drs and nurses also kept checking in on me throughout the 24hrs after surgery.

I feel amazing. I cant believe i jad my breadt implants removed and replaced and muscle repair done just 24hrs ago. I will keep you all posted.

Dr Marco Rodas made my body beautiful and complete. Thank you to him and his amazing team that go above and beyond for their patients. I cant stop checking out my new boobs.

I had a full facelift performed by Dr. Marco Rodas. It did not turn out well and am sorry I spent $6,695 on it. Right before the procedure, he drew lines on my face and then asked me if that was "tight enough." I said, "You are the surgeon, why are you asking me?" He laughed along with other members of the staff. His PAC (Dr. Michel) also confirmed that I would be receiving a deep plane facelift, when I asked. Later, when I had a video conference with Dr. Chavez and Dr. Rodas, he claimed that Dr. Michel was only a nurse and did not know what procedure I would receive. I reported this incident to the BBB and when they responded, they alleged I "yelled and screamed at the doctor." They had advised me this face time meeting would be recorded, so I requested they produce it to prove their vicious allegations. No word back as of yet, but I spent another $3,675 to have an American plastic surgeon add filler to my cheekbones, since Rodas did not perform the services on my invoice. He also advised me I would need to wait one year to have a deep plane revision done. If his work was so perfect as he alleged, why would I need a revision in one year, and why would this other surgeon have to add filler to my cheekbones to try to lift them. He said I had to much work done and that was the reason it did not turn out, but my new surgeon said it was not "tight enough in front of the ears." Interestingly enough, I had told him I'd had a mini lift 7 years ago, so I'm not sure how he equated that "I had too much work done." My advice, save yourself the money. I wasted my money, 9 days of vacation, 70,000 flyer miles, and had the risk of an unnecessary procedure in which I looked worse afterwards. Also, during the phone conference, he was smiling and laughing at me, telling me I looked great, he did not address any of my concerns, and never answered my questions. Dr. Chavez told me she would let me speak to the CEO, but then later texted me Dr. Rodas was the last word, and they would not refund me. Unfortunately, I also still have pain under my left jaw and could not swallow whole food for days after my procedure. It has been more than six months since. All I can say is buyer beware.

Today is day 3 postop. Dr Marco Rodas at LIMARP in Tijuana Mexico did a fantastic job with my implants. Im so impressed and beyond happy with the results. My boobs are still a bit swollen especially around the areola incision but not red, not sore and not uncomfortable. I can feel my muscles on both sides by the armpits which is to be expected as he had to fix the pockets and my implants 550cc are placed under the muscle. Dr Marco Rodas checked with me today to make sure all is well. Im beyond impressed with his care and making sure his patients get the best attention. Im leaving back home on my flight today. Stockings and tight pants are my friend on my flight back. I will be walking down the island on the plane to avoid blood cloth allthough all is well one needs to take precaution. Again I slept really well and comfortable through the night with no discomfort and no pain. Im excited and feel complete. Anyone in Canada or elsewhere in the world looking for amazing care, surgeon and experience Tijuana Mexico LIMARP Dr. Marco Rodas is the BEST!!!.
