Stay Away if You Don't Live in Mexico!

Chilanga1980
At the begining they said I had an allergic reaction to disolvable sutures and now they're saying it's folliculitis.
The hole hasn't completely close after
11 months post op and it doesn't look like is going to close anytime soon.

I don't live in México and I'm so frustrated... It has been very painful and to the date I can't sit properly because it burns and I have a hole. I can't go swimming.

I have dents where the holes are, my scar is horrible
I'm going to need scar revision surgery but I have to wait until the hole closes completely.

Hello sorry this has happened to you. I'm not a doctor but have you tried q-tip with hydrogen peroxide on it and gently clean out the puss and surrounding tissue? Speaking from having cystic acne and I grown hairs I found that regime helps but it will take a couple weeks to heal. Also neosporin applied after can help with discomfort from wound. In not a doctor but hope this helps.

Wound not closing 2 years later

Wound has not completely healed. Still getting wound care. My bellybutton also opened and I developed blisters in my pubic area as well. I have been to multiple doctors and specialist and taking antibiotics. Still waiting for more culture test results. I requested my surgery report from doctor Alejandro per my doctor's request in the states back in July and to this date I have not received my report.

I wish I would’ve saw your review before I went and saw him for surgery on April 22. Unfortunately, the site doesn’t show most recent unless you actually look for that which I didn’t know you could do until now.

What happened with your procedure? Please see my comment above for my horror story from March 21, 2023 surgery.

Did you request any sort of a refund? My hell is fresh- March 21st breast lift with implants. I almost died. The infection was apparent at my 1 week check up, but was told to get medicated gauze. Sent photos from home a week later, clear necrosis. Told keep dry. waited another week, ended up in the ER then 11 days hospitalized. Surgery removed 90% of my right breast and 30% of my left breast, plus both new implants gone. I am on a wound vacuum 24/7 now with painful foam changes 3X week. I'll have 2-3 months of this. Wait 3-6 months before I can begin the long revision process. While in the hospital I got a request for photos. They did not know of the horrible situation as there was no further follow up after I sent the necrotic photos. I sent them photos of my horribly deformed breasts attached to wound vacuums while in my hospital bed. Response? Keep us posted. This is going to cost me so many thousands of dollars. The post op care sucks! If I had been seen the day after surgery or at least closer to a week post op, maybe it could have been caught earlier. I had to determine on my own when to seek medical care. I'm lucky I'm alive according to my Dr's now.

Omg!!! I’m so sorry to hear of this! Unfortunately, knowing firsthand I’m not surprised. I wa
. Other than one week follow up to get stitches out he never once saw me even though I remained in Mexico and requested a follow up before I left. This guy should not be in business.
Please see my review I posted regarding him. Praying for your full recovery

And no. It took forever for him to even acknowledge I needed revision surgery, but then he wanted 2 thousand dollars. I wouldn’t go back to him for anything. There’s a few words I would like to say, but can’t on the site. I have been in touch with a couple of law companies and am weighing options. Were you Able to get reimbursed for yours? Books and her husband have you taken any legal action or made any complaints?
