$15,000
Wanted a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I did a viral consultation, I was suggested to get lip and fat transferred to buttocks.
I developed a fever when I arrived home and called Dr. Quiroz, he informed me it was normal. I went to see my doctor after fever was 103 persistently. I developed a staph infection and eventually needed to be hospitalized, I had MRSA. Dr. Quiroz did keep I contact with me while in the hospital.
After I healed, time passed I sent Dr. Quiroz pictures of my surgery results, one breast is smaller than the other, my breast are not perky but droopy. I paid for butt lift and fat transfer. There is no difference in my butt from before. Dr
Quiroz stated to me my body looked better than before I had surgery, I don't dispute that to be a fact but I have droopy breast, uneven breast and no butt.... Dr. Quiroz wants me to wait 6 months post opt to see full results, so I have no idea if he will correct any imperfections. In the end I spent roughly 15 grand for cosmetic surgery and hospital here in Cali for infection.

Thank you for sharing the details of your procedure as well as the pictures. I am sure you were terrified having the infection and fevers. But I am glad to hear that cleared up for you.

So very sorry for your outcome, I had a similar experience with the same Doctor...

MRSA infection
This infection was agressively treated by my physician when I had a fever of 103 and would not go away. Dr. Q informed me having a fever was normal, I wonder if MRSA was normal also. This infection and opening worsened and i was hospitalized. Staph infections happen in California also but disappointed with procedure outcome and feel he hopes i go away. ..

It is standard procedure to wait at least 6 months not only for final results but to do any type of revision. I know you must feel anxious and angry! Keep us posted.

I was anxious when I was hospitalized with MRSA but grateful to be alive, I was told by the doctors here another few days I could of died. I understand I need to wait 6 months, actually I have to w add it longer due to infection. I am disappointed in his concern and comments he made.

I also feel like my dr wished I'd go away! It's a horrible feeling.......

Although I am a coordinator for TJ Plastic surgeon, I would always recommend having plastics done in the states if you can afford it as there is really no recourse you can take with a surgeon in Mexico but you should know that from the beginningl

So do you know where you contracted the MRSA, do they feel was it picked up at the Clinic?
June 18, 2014
I am postive I picked it up at the clinic. On my left side where tummy tuck was done, I had excessive ozzing. The nurse was kind enough to to hand wash my tummy girdle, it was soiled heavily. Unfortunately MRSA you can easily pick up at any hospital, I was unlucky to pick up this staph infection. It was the treatment from doctor and results that has me upset. At this time I feel blessed to be alive and healthy. I don't have anger, I look ok, sorta... i am still going through different emotions.

I have a close friend who had a LBL in Feb and picked up a nasty infection at a hospital in FL. I was afraid to go to hospitals, now I'm staying away from large Clinics....The one thing I did before I left to have my LBL was I signed up for a package of hyperbolic treatments, they gave a discount to Plastic Surgery Patients. I didn't want to take a chance of getting any infections. The oxygen and the decompression really helps kill infectious germs and aids in healing and lessons the scaring so, I thought why not. It was my insurance policy since I traveled out of state...I understand your attitude towards the infection, things happen even under the best of circumstances but the sloppy or rushed job of surgery is inexcusable.

AZDee, I agree, seems like hospitals can be the worst place to acquire infections. When at all possible I think the dr office or surgical suite is much safer. Oh, also am really interested in the oxygen therapy (another idea dismissed by most doc it seems) If I have any major (besides lipo) body procedures, I will do that. jmo
