Dr. Castaneda was professional and honest

WORTH IT
I am 5 days post-op. I had liposuction on my flanks and inner thighs with abdominal etching. Dr. Castaneda was my surgeon, and Adriana was my patient coordinator. The entire process was lovely. I have had previous work done in the U.S. and felt comfortable going to VIDA after doing extensive research. After my consultation, I discovered a family friend actually knew Dr. Castaneda and had high praises as her sisters have had work done by him before. I did my consultation over Zoom and felt confident Dr. Castaneda knew what I wanted. A few weeks before surgery, I decided I wanted my legs done as well, and that was not an issue. During my pre-op, Dr. Castaneda was professional and honest. I never commit to a Dr. that is willing to say yes to anything and everything. I told him I felt my legs were thick, and he agreed that small areas would make a difference, but my legs didn't carry a lot of fat. He also pointed out that my skin was nice and firm on the back of my legs, and trying to do anything there would not look good when it came to proportion and contour. The incisions are small, and he hid most of them in my tattoos (not sloppy and so amazing). I am still swollen with minimal bruising, but I can already see a huge difference in my legs and waistline.
Adriana nor the other staff ever seemed annoyed at my many questions and e-mails. Instead, she was communicative and patient. She recommended I stay at the recovery boutique, and I am so glad I did. I wish I stayed there longer just for comfort and their amazing staff.
Covid-19 prevention was top of the line as well. Honestly, I felt safer in the facility than I do in the States regarding Covid precautions.
I will add before & after photos once healed.

I just was able to remove my faja after the recommended amount of time. I love the results. I'm so happy with the results. I'm able to exercise moderately. I have my confidence back! I will definitely return to Dr. Castaneda when it's time to get my old implants replaced.
