My nightmare in Mexico - lost all my self-confidence

Three years after botched

I can see my skin is literally falling off my face! What makes it even worse is I can’t get any answers from Dr. Alejandro as he totally refuses to answer any messages or take any phone calls. This doctor should not be allowed to operate as a Plastic surgeon! And to advertise himself as Mexico‘s top number one Surgeon?! I’ve been trying to find out information regarding my surgery. I reached out again after many attempts to the coordinator Ivette recently only to get a message back from his new coordinator?saying that she Ivette no longer there. When I explained who I was and that I needed my medical records from them and information on my previous surgery I was told they would get back to me with that …and then nothing! It’s obvious Dr. A has told them to ignore me as he has pretty much since my surgery!

My eyes are ruined

My eyes are destroyed after opting to have them done by Dr. Alejandro. He literally pulled the bottom lids up and stitched them together making my eyes like a little pee holes and feeling like they are glued together constantly

Skin is literally falling off my face

I’m noticing every day that the results are becoming worse and worse. This was caused from a haematoma that was never drained of fluid and I was sent home without any follow up. I cannot express enough how I regret the surgery. I would give anything to look the way I did before.

I feel your pain. And I bet he doesn't even answer your texts or offer to at least refund the money after ruining your life.

I also visited Dr. Rivera and have dry eyes after seeing him as well. Funny that he doesn't mention this as a possible outcome and does not inform his clients of this risk. I wouldn't wish dry eyes on anyone. He also operated on me two days after I was bitten on the eye by an insect and had a massive allergic reaction. He went ahead with the procedure and that eye still looks worse two years later. Keep in mind that if you have a bad result with this surgeon, there will be no compensation and they will even ignore your texts. Spend the extra money and have this surgery done safely in Canada.
