Revision 2022, Bilateral eyes, and Facelift

In 2021, my surgery results from Dr Cardenas were awful (pix in early post). In 2022, I returned to Guadalajara and did the procedures again with Dr. Cardenas. I am glad, I returned because all the earlier mistakes were fix. I'm a firm believer that an honest physician should owned up to his/her mistake and fix it. Dr. Cardenas did so and went above and beyond. I was surprise that all his reviewers never showed scars but then again it's different type of surgeries. I will post more pictures of the healing process. Another reason why I prefer Guadalajara and Surgery with Dr. Cardenas is because the hospital has four Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers.

I hope that after my post more women would come forth with their experience and post raw pictures.

Dr Cardenas went Above and Beyond.

On Aug 22, 2022, I had surgery again with Dr. Cardenas for Facelift and Eyelid Scar Revision.
Dr Cardenas explain to me that scarring is different for everyone. The scar is so much better, great improvement. I will be uploading pictures as I go thru my recovery and healing process. Dr. Cardenas also showed me some pictures of the scarring tissue that he removed from my Eyelid.
I still recommend Dr. Cardenas. He is an excellent doctor. I will still hold my position due to my experience, my opinion is that Cheek Lift is not beneficial due to scarring under the eye, and the amount of skin lifted.
Dr Cardenas listened to my concerns and he did everything to make it right. This is the reason why I will be sticking with Dr. Cardenas because of the communication and working towards building more trust.

Ghost Surgery

I am starting to believe that what Dr Cardenas is doing is what is called "Ghost Surgery" where inexperience residents operate on you without your consent or knowledge. This is become a black hole as I am researching more and connecting the dots. The incisions are not the same, the technique, direction, everything is different, the cutting. I am even wondering does Dr. Cardenas start the procedure and then leaves the operating room and leaves you at the hands of inexperience residents.

I decided to do my facelift with Dr. Cardenas because of a review from a nurse. I am also a nurse. And I have seen many instances were doctor cut corners and are running two operating rooms at the same time. I never though it would happen to me.
