After researching for over a year, looking into various surgeons in Mexico, Cuba, West Coast USA and Thailand, I discovered MMV through my old bosses Sister. After hearing her amazing experience and seeing her results at just 3 months, my mother and I booked of surgeries. We booked are surgeries for April back in January and even with 3 months to wait, they kept in touch with us, being available to us for every question we had. When we arrived in Mexico we had a personal driver bring us right to the lab for our blood work, Betty Rep from MMV was there waiting for us. I was feeling pretty nervous about the blood work as I had a bad experience as a child but Betty kept me calm. Betty held my hand and kept me talking to distract me. The technician show me the needle tip and how it was new by breaking the seal and after my blood work was completed she had a machine to destroy the tip, ensuring me they don't reuse their needles. After we had our blood work Betty suggested we get breakfast as we arrived to Cancun very early. After breakfast she brought us to our condo, and told us all the great places around our condo we could walk too. The day of my surgery I met my surgeon Dr. Edgar Torres, I was pretty nervous just meeting him and going right into surgery but as soon as he starts talking and drawing his imagine on my body, I felt really relaxed. He answered all of my questions and concerns. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and is a perfectionist. The hospital staff was amazing, they all treated you as if were number one. The hospital always smelled very clean, they don't focus on pretty esthetics and instead on cleanliness. When they brought me into the op room, the anesthesiologist assistance sprayed my entire body with antiseptic to reduce the risk of carrying any infectious germs in. The Anesthesiology was swell spoken and assuring. When I woke up in my recovery room, my mom, Betty and personal nurse Anna was there to greet me. After Betty brought my mom back to the condo, Anna stayed with me all night. The next day Anna brought me to our condo, cleaned me up and changed my bandages. I pretty much slept for two days. Whenever I texted Betty or Anna, they were quick with a response and very eager to help me. Being in Cancun for so long away from my family was making me sad but Betty and Anna helped kept my spirits up. When I got home in Canada, the communication didn't stop, whenever I have concern or a question, their still right there to help me. My entire experience with MMV and Dr. Torres was amazing, I can't wait to return next year to show my full results.

Hi I’m going in six weeks, why hospital do you go to there?

Amerimed. The hospital smells like turpentine! Betty left the company a day before my surgery. Anna did not stay in my room but rather peeled in every now and then. My IV filtrate and the nurses had to be told. They use ketorlac I V and and not used in the US As it is caustic to veins. I had very long surgeries that lasted over 9 hours each with 1 day apart. Very risky. I have a small 2mm navel and a vertical scar, lopsided lips that requires revision work in the US. I was told that the facelift by Dr Torres would not last!

Not sure what you mean about Betty I just had surgery in cancun late October and went back for a Check up Nov 25to the 30 2018 and Betty was still there throughout. So am confused about your comment regarding Betty. Sorry about your surgery not going the way you w0a yes or expected. I did not nor do I have any experience with Dr Torres but rather Dr Valdez I have had 3 separate surgeries with him and am thrilled. Although he does his surgeries at Amerimed hospital.
