Botched in Mexico by Nestor Baldizon Recio

I would like to share my story from an objective perspective to make sure this never happens again to anyone. I was recommended to see Dr. Baldizon by a holistic practitioner who works in Puerto Vallarta named Krystal Frost and she funnels several of her clients to him. He was very pleasant to talk to and very sympathetic to my concerns. I initially consulted for a simple procedure that would include a facial fat transfer among other minimally invasive procedures that could be done under local anesthesia. He then suggested I get a rhinoplasty even-though I never brought it up during my consult. That should have been my red flag! I had (and now have) so many insecurities and I gave into the idea of getting my nose done and allowed Dr. Baldizon to impose his aesthetics on me. Huge mistake! I now have a horrible overly resected nose with a deviated columella and a collapsed nasal valve, a non-healing elbow wound, and fat cells on my cheeks which I never consent to. Not to mention, I ended up with a huge lesion on the side of my nose that took forever to finally close. Yes, I almost lost my nose! I had also requested a fat transfer to my lips, not the cheeks! I am now looking at 20K+ to repair his mess.
