Having been told by a friend that Costa Rica was a Mecca for plastic surgery at a fraction of a cost here in the USA, I decided to look into it for my facelift and eye lift.
The result of my facelift and eye lift came out perfectly. I have been told by friends and family that I look 15 to 20 years younger without looking artificial. Dr. Argüello believes in a look that takes years off without it being obvious. I have been extremely happy with my results.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Alberto Argüello to anyone interested in having plastic surgery.

How are you looking and feeling now? Did you go through a facilitator or did you set the trip up yourself? Where did you stay for recovery? Did the fee you have listed include anything other than the doctor's services? I would really be interested in finding out more about this doctor.

I am also interested in you had a facilitator or where did you stay etc. Also was that the total cost. And airfare? Thank you, plus how are you feeling now?

I just had a facelift with Dr. Lev at the beginning of Sept 2012 and stayed with women from different plastic surgeons, comparing, comparing, comparing. One of the women had used Dr. Arguello and he was as excellent as Dr. Lev. Dr. lev wins on the information he provides on his website par none. Dr. Arguello wins on post-op care, information, and instruction. I am a market research analyst by profession and felt so lost at the amount of limited current information on this process, especially in the recovery phase, that I decided that the best thing to do is to get online and tell everyone about my experience and about the recovery center. The recovery center is Che Tica and is found online. Each patient had her own huge cottage, three meals a day, trips from the airport and to the doctor's office, nurse on staff attending, 82 acres, and for me, the most important, brand new hospital beds to keep me elevated. (I used the King Size bed up to my surgery date and then the hospital bed the rest of the time so that I could recover faster.) In addition, Che Tica knows all these other physicians they can recommend for other procedures (like I did my broken capillaries on my face and legs for a fraction of the price in the U.S.) I have decided to promote this experience given that there is so little info online. Please tell Che Tica that Teresa Menendez from Key West recommended you. I've never met such humble, wonderful people.

Thank you for sharing that. I have been in contact with Ruben at Che Tica and they seem like wonderful people and I have considered going there but heard about La Cumbre and wondering if it is closer to town? That is the only reason as otherwise they seem similar although Che Tica will take you to all appointments included with the cost. I will tell him you referred us. Yes, it is next to impossible to find pictures of most doctors in Costa Rica other than Dr. Lev and trust me, I went to him and I will post my pictures eventually but just to say, he let me go home with no earlobes so I had to go back the next year. And Di Di is impossible to get a straight answer so I wouldn't go back to him and I'm so glad to hear about Dr. Arguello. I have also heard good things about Roshi rosenstock but getting mixed reviews on Real Self and no pictures making it really difficult. Can you share before/after pictures and did you get any fat transfer?
