Bad bulges and weird looking scars

Following the birth of my second child, my old implants were sagging. T?hey had been placed over the muscle, so when the skin stretched, the implant sagged. I needed a breast lift and exchange of my implants. I read many great reviews of the Dr. Quiroz. I went to Tijuana for a consultation, although they allow the consultation to be the same day as surgery! He seemed rushed during the consultation, which should have been my first clue. I scheduled my surgery for a couple of weeks later. On my day of surgery, he didn't remember our consultation at all! So we went over the same info I had told him during my "consultation". I had a feeling after the surgery that he went smaller than I told him- I said I wanted the same size implant as before, just wanted new implants. But I left the bandages on until the time he told me to take it off. I was horrified and cried for hours! A breast lift requires a lot of cutting/stitching and my stitching looked awful! There were bulges of skin, as if they pulled the stitch too tight and it puckered. My nipples were misshapen and I was definitely smaller. However, smaller was the least of my concerns! I called him and sent him pictures and he kept assuring me that it would all smooth out as the incisions healed. No, it didn't! I had bulges and weird looking scars. I ended up having to have the surgery revised, and that time I was smart enough to not go back to Mexico! Dr Frank Stile in Las Vegas fixed me and it now looks amazing!

Ditto...same experience but I did update my review, too bad you didn't see mine.
Wow! I was totally going to use him, but after doing my research I said hell no! A lot of reviews say "rushed". I've been looking into dr. Sauceda, he's more expensive but, has wonderful reviews!
Snacky, check out Dr. Peter Fisher of San Antonio, Tx His prices fall in line with Sauceda, and you don't have to leave the country....Dr. Fisher is known as one of the tops in the field of WLS patient plastics...
Is it Peter fisher?
Dr. Sauceda provides 12 days of care too though
Maybe it will look better after it heals? I'm so sorry!
Do not! Go to Quiroz.....you get no consultation only online they drug you just before surgery "to relax you " your thinking you will talk while you are getting relaxed but NO! Just like that you are asleep no consult at all .you awake and its done!
Everyone! Go to Dr. Victor Guittierrez. My only problem with him was he was too conservative with my armlift they don't look much different than before .wasted money..needed more skin removed but his fees are All inclusive and he now has his own recovery suite the one I had to use was a nightmare!
Dr Guttierrez did a fantastic job on lower body lift stitching is very fine lines no punching two USA surgeons saw mine and commented on the excellence
My surgery was actually several years ago and I have since had revision surgery by another amazing doctor. I was watching the show "Botched" yesterday and it got me thinking about my horrible experience. I can't believe I was so stupid to trust a doctor in Mexico! I know of several people who have gone and had good results in Mexico, but since have heard many horror stories like mine. Luckily, I was able to be fixed
Who did you see?
