Professional Care, Personal Touch: Dr. Quiroz at Vida

I just looked at the published version of my review and my overall review score shows up as 4 stars but in fairness, it should be very close to 5 stars. I rarely give the highest rating on any review I do because I figure there's always room for improvement. In the case of Vida and Dr. Quiroz, they're pretty darn close :)

If you're considering plastic surgery, I'd like to share my experience with Dr. Quiroz at Vida Wellness and Beauty in Tijuana, Mexico.

The Clinic & Staff: Professional and Accommodating

I felt warmly welcomed at Vida Wellness and Beauty. My surgeon, Dr. Quiroz is not only professional and experienced, but he is also attentive, responsive and personable, which was very much appreciated. Rocio, the surgeon's assistant, stood out in particular. She was beyond helpful, guiding both my wife and me through the process with a keen eye for detail. Her dedication to ensuring I received all of the care I needed both before and after my procedures was not just professional but also genuinely caring. Her support was a significant part of my positive experience, and I can't thank her enough for her assistance and compassion.

The Surgery & Recovery: A Necessary Healing Journey

The procedures I had done were Lower Eyelid, Facelift, and a Brow Lift.
I spent 5 nights at the in-house Recovery Spa at Vida, and in hindsight, returning home right after surgery might not have been a wise choice for me. You can think of the Recovery Spa as a full-service hotel that includes a nursing staff. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and large bathrooms. Even though my appetite was subdued for the first few days after surgery, I found the food to be delicious. The team of nurses made sure I got the rest and care I needed to heal for the trip back home. Their support, combined with the spa's excellent facilities and the additional pampering services, made my recovery process much more comfortable. Additionally, Vida has a Spa offering a long list of services, including massages, most of which were included with my package.

Healing has taken longer than I expected it to, but the visual results are apparent. There's still some swelling and numbness but those things are only noticed by me. I've received so many compliments on looking younger and refreshed and that's been a real boost to my confidence.

Price & Value: Very Reasonable

I compared the costs with similar procedures in Southern California and Nevada, where I live. The quote at Vida was substantially less - by nearly half, without seeming to compromise on quality.

Conclusion: A Considered Recommendation

I recommend Vida Wellness and Beauty, Dr. Quiroz and his team. They were accommodating, the results were as I wanted, and the price was fair.

However, remember that plastic surgery is not a quick or easy fix. It requires patience, the right environment to heal, and an experienced and caring team. With the right setup like I found at Vida, it can be a positive experience, but it's essential to have realistic expectations and to do your research.
