*Note: I posted this review on google and of course it got removed, no surprise!* If you're considering going to this doctor please read this! I had my nose done with him in August of 2020.
Not only did he narrow both my bridge and nose tip too much making it look pinched, he also left me with nasal valve collapse and permanent non-allergic rhinitis. I had to have a revision rhinoplasty performed by a qualified surgeon 8 months ago to try and repair the damage this doctor did to me. I now have to take montelukast for the non-allergic rhinitis he left me with, something I did not have prior to my primary rhinoplasty done by this doctor. I did address these concerns with him via WhatsApp and all he offered was to “check” my nose knowing I live thousands of miles away in a different country. He dismissed all my concerns and gaslit me into thinking it was all in my head (the rhinitis, collapsed nasal valves, and overly-narrowed nasal tip, my secondary surgeon agreed with my concerns as well so I was not making it up). Below are bottom-view before and after pictures of my nose immediately after my first surgery with this doctor (left; I don't know why he didn't take frontal-view pictures right after surgery, another red flag), then various angles of my before and after pictures of my nose post revision rhinoplasty where you can see how my nose settled 3 years later, and what my revision surgeon had to fix. My life has been a nightmare since this doctor touched my nose, I was unable to breathe, had a nonstop runny nose, and was self conscious for 3 years because of how botched he left me. Find another surgeon and save yourself a lifetime of having to deal with non-allergic rhinitis and possibly having to have a revision rhinoplasty done. I do not wish this upon anybody.
Edit: I saw someone else on here post they were also not happy with their results, and I agree that he does post the same nose result on a majority of his patients on his instagram page which has been inactive since July of 2024 from what I’ve seen. What an absolute mess.

Dr. Luis Sandoval Google Review

Edit: Since I left this review, my Google review was thankfully posted! People should be warned of this butcher who quite frankly doesn’t know what he’s doing and offers no solutions for his mistakes, a mistake that’s taken over my life!

Update #2: Not AMCPER certified/ NO certificado por AMCPER.
Inventive3713December 18, 2024
I emailed AMCPER (Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva) or (Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery) they informed me Luis Sandoval Manuel Aceves is NOT on their certified list. He is NOT certified therefore by law, he should not be performing any type of surgery on anyone, this id ILLEGAL. I will be taking legal action and will be further investigating.
Español:
Envié un correo electrónico a la AMCPER (Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva) y me informaron que Luis Sandoval Manuel Aceves NO está en su lista de certificados. NO está certificado, por lo tanto, por ley, no debería realizar ningún tipo de cirugía en nadie, esto es ILEGAL. Tomaré medidas legales e investigaré más a fondo.
