So far so good, I'm very swollen and bruised but I like what I'm seing. I'm 3 days post op, the Dr. gave me excellent treatment, I'm going back tomorrow for a check-up and to get my girdle put on. He did lipo on my arms back and waist, tummy tuck, brazilian butt lift, and replaced my 14 year old implants at a really good price if you ask me. I was quoted $7,000 by a US Dr. and that one only covered a tummy tuck.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! How did your follow up appointment go?
I just posted a picture of my bck side, 2 days pre surgery and 6 days post op. I can see a significant diference and it hasnt been a week yet. I'll post some more later
Did you remove your pictures? I can't see them. My cousin and I both had our surgeries with him this past week. I would love to compare results.
is there any way you can post up your pictures. I have been in constant contact with Alex and have my surgery scheduled in Dec. My sister just went to mexico and had her surgery there with ANOTHER doctor. Let me tell you, it scared me a lot. He did such a HORRIBLE job at stitching her up.
any way you can post YOUR pictures? I would like to know if you are happy with the work he did?
Hello pattyhuerta143 did you get the surgery with dr. Ramirez ? How wad everything
I'm having my surgery done with Dr Ramirez in March are there any bad complains that anyone has about him or the facility
I need reviews on dr victor Ramirez, km considering a breast aug with him and I'm a bit skeptical about the whole "Mexicali" part. Any Info would help (:
He is a great surgeon. I know a few people that have gone to him. I recently had my breast augmentation done almost a week ago and I love them so far. I'm going this Saturday for my follow up appointment. Highly recommend him! Will be going to him for other procedures I want done! Also my sister had juvederme injected into her under eyes and sides of cheeks. She looks great!
I just had my surgery with dr Ramirez. He has an excellent bedside manner. He took the time and answered my questions. It's been only 3 days, but so far I'm satisfied.
Hello nosliw2. I'm interested in your feedback. What exactly did you have done? I'm planning on a b.a with dr Ramirez and would love all the advice you could give. Is he has good as they say? And how did you feel about the prodcedure being done in Mexicali?
Thanks in advance. (:
Hey there, I'm now 9 days post op and must admit, I'm doing very well. I had a full tt, bl and lipo on flanks, arm and inner thighs. My first 4 days were very difficult, but Dr Ramirez and his assistant Alex were great. I spent the first night at the hospital then was released and recoupd at the fiesta inn. While the folks there were ok,I wasn't really ok there and there was a huge language barrier. As most folks have said, early on you will have the drains and some leaking and bleeding. The manager said right away if I messed up the bed, I'd be responsible so we lined the bed with plastic and I used a few towels on top of the plastic the first night. I went alone as my friend who was scheduled to go with me had a last minute family emergency and couldn't come. My first few nights were ruff, no help and a language barrier. I knew minimal Spanish so that helped, but it was ruff. The cleaning folks were awesome and helped me as best as they could daily with getting cleaned up and changing the bed, walking in the lobby. The worst part was the acid reflux. It was horrible but Alex tried to get me something to take. The manager and I got into it a little when he advised he'd charge $60.00 extra for the towels. I said, sir it's only 3 towels and he said he had to. I didn't fight too hard, but thought that was crazy. It's a hotel and I'm sure I was overcharged. However the Dr and his staff were absolutely wonderful, attentive, caring and communicated everything along the way. The Dr. visited daily and check me. Hospital and staff were knowledgeable and courteous. As I was leaving crossing the border. The female border agent asked me about my visit and when I told her, she was amazed. My surgery was Thursday, dec 11 and I left Sunday, dec 14th. She said she would never have guessed I'd just had surgery and asked about the Dr. We ended up talking for 15 minutes (holding up the already long and slow line) and I gave her all of Dr Ramerizs info and recommendation. So far I'm very pleased. I'm healing well although my flight home was ruff. I haven't gotten the nerve up yet to post pictures, my incision was very low, straight and appears to be healing good. The swelling is crazy, but I've learned to keep my garment on, drink lots of water and just try to relax. I'm a very active person so the worst part is letting folks help me or asking for help which I'm terrible at. I'm 46, divorced with 4 adult children and figured I'd have the surgery done before my youngest 18 ships out on Jan 5th 2015 and while my 20 yr old daughter is home for the Xmas break. I don't think I would have been doing this great without their help. :-). Hopefully I'll get the courage to post a few photos. I highly recommend Dr Ramirez and have no complaints about the facility or care I received. I do recommend you have someone with you if you can (it's just easier) or say you'll be fine if you have to travel alone and are a independent person. This trip is not for babies. :-). Feel free to inbox me if you have more questions I can answer.
I'm thinking about going to see Dr Ramirez, because I have seen a lot of good reviews on him. I have family members that live in Mexicali and they recommended Dr Gutierrez Lamadrid, but I read on a post that Ramìrez is board certified and Lamadrid is not, I would love to get some feedback
Dr Victor Ramirez is simply the best! Great bedside manner, great precision low cut, great price. I had a tt, breast lift and lipo on the flanks, back, arms and inner thighs. The only problem I had was an occasional language disconnect. I definitely recommend Dr Ramirez.
Thank you so much for the info! I'm trying to do a Brazilian butt lift and I saw a dr here in Vegas and he said I need a lift on one of my breast since they have different size and shape, For everything here it would be 18000, I cannot afford that
I didn't get the lift, but I'm considering it in a few months. I only want Dr Victor (that's what I call him) working on me. I was a little concerned about going to Mexico, but he made me feel really comfortable and I wouldn't any other PS besides him ever. Good luck with your decision. If you have any other questions, please inbox me.
Do you have any before and after pictures?
Could you post some before and after pictures? I want to go, I´ve heard Mexico have excellent plastic surgeons
Do you have pics?
