I Feel a Confidence with my Appearance and a Joy in my Life That I Had Lost

I had a Lower Face and Neck Deep Plane facelift and Upper Blepharoplasty with Dr Quiroz and my experience exceeded my expectations.

I live in NYC, and could not find a doctor locally who felt right and who I could afford. Researching doctors, especially those out of the country, was not easy or reassuring. Medical Tourism web sites felt like advertisements. My best resources for reviews was the VIDA website, Google Reviews, and RealSelf. I encourage you to read all of the reviews you can, and look at all of the “Before and After” pics. Is there a pattern to the reviews ? Do the reviews and pics align with your goals ?

I had a telephone consultation with Dr Quiroz, referencing photos that I sent him, and it went well. Violeta, helped me schedule my surgery, gather the needed paperwork for it, and plan my trip to Tijuana. If possible, I recommend doing your consultation with Dr Quiroz in person. I didn’t physically meet him until the day before my surgery. I didn’t realize how anxious I had become leading up to the surgery without having met Dr Quiroz in person. My meeting with him was an incredible experience. He spent at least 30 minutes with me. He examined me, asked me my goals and concerns, answered my questions, listened to me, and his bedside manner washed away my stress and anxiety. I felt relieved, and I felt excited about the surgery.

Rocio, the surgical coordinator, guided me through all of my paperwork and appointments. My surgery with Dr Quiroz was very successful. My swelling and pain were a lot less than I was expecting. I spent the first night after surgery in the Hospital area and I spent the next four nights at the Recovery Center. The staff at the Hospital and Recovery Center were very attentive, and they made me feel safe and well taken care of. They cleaned my wounds, took my blood pressure, and brought me food and beverages several times a day. The Recovery Center is a locked-down wing at VIDA with an attendant at the desk 24/7. The experience there felt safe and comforting. I saw Dr Quiroz after my fourth night at the Recovery Center and he removed my drain and some of my stitches. I flew back to NYC and rested and followed the doctor’s instructions. Sixteen days after my surgery I had my remaining stitches removed by my primary care doctor. I slowly returned to work about four weeks after surgery, and I would suggest waiting six weeks to allow the swelling of the wound sites where the stitches were behind your ears to become less pronounced.

I did not tell any friends, family, or coworkers I was having surgery. i would suggest telling someone very close to you about your surgery so that you feel supported and don’t become paranoid wondering how your surgical results will be received.

i am very happy with my surgical results. My goal was to look refreshed and less tired, and I have achieved that. Some reactions I have received from various friends and coworkers have been:

You look amazing !
Your skin looks incredible
Your skin is glowing
Are you using a new skincare product ?
You look healthier
You look so relaxed
Did you just get back from vacation ?

My surgical experience with Dr Quiroz has changed my life for the better. I feel a confidence with my appearance and a joy in my life that I had lost…

I can honestly say that I will see Dr Quiroz for any procedures I feel the need for in the future…Sorry for not posting any pics, but privacy is a top concern of mine…
