Breast lift, correction of tuberous breasts and implants.

My before and after Breast lift surgery.
Initially I wanted a breast lift, and when Dr. Valdez saw me he notified me that I had a condition called Tuberous Breasts . Born with it and it develops during puberty. Even in my early teens my breast were long, stretched out and seemed soft. Just figured I was cursed with saggy unfirm breasts. Dr. Valdez was the one to diagnose my condition. So during puberty my breasts didn't develop properly causing the saggy, sad tube sock filled with sand look. The aereola had stretched due to the weight of breast tissue at lower pole of my breasts. So Dr. Valdez had the task of not only lifting the breasts and removing excess skin but reconstructing my breast so that they actually sat up on my chest wall and not all hanging down in the stretched out skin.
He had to use small implants to improve my
breast's projection as part of the reconstruction. I was already a c/d cup before the surgery but I never filled up the cups of the bra. The top portion of the cups would be empty no matter how tight I pulled the bra straps up, I never had a full ,round looking breast. The surgery was very easy to recover from amd I finally love my breasts. I fill up my bras nicely and my breasts are no longer under my armpits when I lay flat on my back. I still wear many of my pre surgery bras, they just fit better. HAPPY perky boobies!!!

Before and after Tummy tuck Dr. Arturo Valdez

I was asked to post pics and never got around to it. Better late than never. Been 5 years and am still in awe. The novelty has not worn off!!! SOOO Happy!!! The before pics are what I sent to Dr. Valdez via his website and got a quote within 2 days. Price was 50%less than the quotes in Canada and they took care of everything. All my meds, pre op tests and ground transportation were included. As well as all fees and compression garment. I was so well taken care of and the amount I paid covered everything no surprise extras. Wish I had found Dr. Valdez sooner. Went 25 years with that excess skin and flab hanging there.
Never wore a bikini in my life until after the amazing work of Dr. Valdez. I have so much more self confidence even fully clothed . It has changed my life in ways I would never have thought. My belly button finally sees the light of day and goodbye "Granny panties"

Where to begin?
Doctor Arturo Valdez has not only changed my physical body but he has changed my life. From my very first surgery 2.5 years ago a full extended tummytuck with facial fat grafting to my face, to my 2nd surgery Lipo on back and fat grafting to my butt also known as BBL (Brazilian butt lift) and my latest surgery in October 2018 my breast lift and upper blepharoplasty. Since the beginning Doctor Valdez has always been easy to talk to,humble,caring and attentive. He constantly strives for excellence and really listens to you and your concerns.
He explains everything in a clear manner and makes you and your procedures his number one priority. I can't even imagine going to anyone else for any other procedures.
The quality of care you receive , his attention to detail and his skills in the operating room are a clear sign that his passion is his work and he takes a very personal interest in giving you the best possible results. You never feel like you are just a paycheck to him. He makes you feel cared for and heard . He is also very honest about what He can and cannot do and will always give you his honest opinion and help you to understand what is realistic and what isn't. If you are even just toying with the idea of plastic/cosmetic surgery then I highly recommend you look into Doctor Arturo Valdez for any and all of your procedures. I would not put my physical health or my body in the hands of any other surgeoun. Just wish I would of found him sooner!

Is it possible to get the costs of the surgeries? Thank you
Hi, Brave 991161 Sure, which procedure did you want to know the cost of? Remember each person's surgery is unique and tailor-made for their specific concerns. But, I can give you what I paid for my procedures. I should also mention that there was a discount as I had 2 procedures done at the same time in regards to the breast lift with implants and upper eyelid surgery. Individually this would have cost more but I was a candidate to have both these procedures done at once therefore it was slightly less expensive.
My upper eyelid and breast lift with implants was $6,550 USD CASH
Individually this would have been $2,200 USD cash for upper eyelids, then $5,400 USD CASH for the breast lift with implants. So over $1,000 USD savings!! In Canada, the upper eyelid surgery alone would have been close to $4,000 CAD The breast lift with Implants I was quoted $8,000 CAD!! So It is way more affordable to have it done in Cancun and why not recover in a beautiful Caribbean setting!
My full extended tummy tuck in 2016 with facial fat grafting was about $5,500 USD CASH
My Liposuction on my back in 2017 (5 liters removed!!) and fat transfer to Buttocks (BBL) was $5,000 USD CASH I hope this helps!
