High Rate of Complications

High Rate of Complications

Found out after my surgery that there are a high rate of complications after surgery when Dr Galvez because he combines so many procedures at one time. Wound openings due to necrosis is the biggest problem. Patients leave the OR looking fabulous but that doesn’t mean that the surgery was successful, so many people suffer with wound openings after these surgeries and the surgeon doesn’t do a good job making you informed of this.

Did you get this procedure done by him in 2024? So sorry you are going through this - has he been attentive in following up to see how you are doing?

I had this problem with breast reduction but it seems like it's pretty common for everyone scars to open. It healed slowly over time

This is unacceptable. I know of many Doctors that will not risk multiple procedures. This Doctor should be instrumental in your healing progress. I hope he becomes accountable and corrects mistakes.

Having Mommy Makeover Tijuana with Galvez

I had an online quote done with Dr. Galvez in Tijuana. It took approximately three weeks to get the price back. I found it was not as cheap as I thought being it is in Mexico. But I am prepared to pay what it takes to get the body I had back. He includes two nights in the hospital and five days in a hotel whe...

Lower Body lift & Fleur De Lis

I wanted my body to match how I feel from the inside. After meeting with 4 plastic surgeons I decided to go with Dr. Cardenas. It has bee...

Talented Doctor and Excellent Staff!

Dr. Isakson was exactly what I was looking for in a surgeon for my tummy tuck. Im about 11 weeks out now (the pic was closer to 8) and have been back to all my pre-surgery activities for a while now. Mine was skin-only and no MR needed. I still have some swelling but thats to be expected. It looks so natural ...
