its been 4 months since my procedure of a extended tummy tuck and muscle repair done by the amazing Dr Carmina Cardenas, for reasons beyond me i was not able before to let the whole world know about this magnificent doctor and her entire staff including the staff of her recovery house . My story begins with like many of other people full uncertainties on the quest to look for a skilled doctor who will perform a safe procedure with a result that i will love and feel completely happy about . After intensive research for close to a year i decide to take a leap of faith and to take my search beyond the american borders and found a true gem in Tijuana mexico , after taking the time do more research and reading the amazing reviews of doctor carmina i decide to flight to sand Diego cross the border to visit the doctors office where i was greeted with a smile by her and her staff . the doctor took her time to hear what i wanted to do and my concerns , Dr Carmina is a very straight forward she will tell you if something can be done or not without sugar cover at the beginning i wanted to do a whole body liposculpture and tummy tuck but for my safety the doctor decline my request due to my very low iron levels , the doctor suggested a extended tummy due to my extreme saggy belly after 105 pounds of weight loss and a pregnancy of twins she explained this was the best of option including extensive muscle repair she also suggested to try to lose more weight for better results . I decide to go head and schedule my procedure since i felt happy , safe with my decision, the doctor made feel like i was her family member and my happiness and my well being was her number one priority . i worked more on my weight and my iron levels , I also chose the option to stay 10 days in the recovery house which was the best thing i did , how can i explained the magnificent love i experience by these fantastic nurses i felt at home , i had the best treatment 24 seven . when the time came to my surgery i was pick at the airport by the great driver then i was taken to the clinic where i was greeted with other staff and taken the before pictures and then i was taken to stay at the recovery house where it will be my home for the following 10 days , on the day of the procedure i felt at ease i talked to the anesthesiologist which explained how the anesthesia was going to be administrated . the procedure was breeze i woke up a bit and felt sleep again the next thing i knew i was on my private room to recover . let me start by explaining how clean the clinic and advance far most advance in technology than what we have here in the US and shocked . well the next day i woke up and am not going to lie having this procedure was the most painful thing i experience in my life , the doctor removed 8 pounds of fat and flesh i had practically a baby hanging from my lower torso . the extended scar its very thin the doctor made a fantastic job , Doctor carmina gave me a waist, i had flat stomach that i never had in my life she also did a pubic lift i am more then happy i am forever thankful to her and her staff now am going to go back for the liposculture i feel ready to take my body to the second round , with all this said is a long recovery but so worth it and am so glad i did it !! Thank you Doctora

Congratulations! Your results are really amazing! Dr. Cardenas really does great work. I think I will most definitely go with her when I'm ready for my procedures at the end of the year.

Did your 6,000 include your stay at the recovery house? I am assuming this does not include your travel costs
