My review is NOT positive at all, I actually had a miserable experience and I’m still going through what I endured as a patient who was part of an outbreak at Dr. Carmina Cardenas / Beauty Enhance recovery facility outbreak of a antibiotic resistant bacterial infection and I am still going to wound care clinic in my local area after I was hospitalized for three weeks after I returned home from her facility in Mexico and I’m still dealing with the mess over four months later and this has cost me five times more what the surgery cost to begin with. I have disfiguring scars that will remain on my body From this and I cannot recommend this doctor or her recovery facility, particularly the way that she handled things after!! I found other reviews of other patients who had been to her before me who also had infections and they were treated the same horrible way after. When I went to her after when I was terribly life-threatening sick to get immediate attention her advice only got me more sick and she only gave me one option which was returned to Mexico with 103° temperature and infectious past pouring out of my incisions from the infection that I had received from her facility along with several other patients who contracted this at the exact same time who were staying at the facility when I was there also . She has gone around after I have shared my story with others trying to clean up her reputation by deflecting against the patients who were sick and I will say that when I needed her most afterwards when my life was in jeopardy, she claims she was there, for me but she wasn’t really at all unless you did exactly what she wanted which was putting my life in more Jeopardy.

I had a lower body lift with Dr Carmina Cardenas in Tijuana with Beauty Enhance and it went very wrong and me and several other patients during my stay all got necrosis and a antibiotic resistant infection, I went to my local hospital and was there for 2 weeks and needed blood transfusions and emergency surgery to remove the necrosis and I have 2 huge holes in my body that I am going to wound care to receive help and it will take months of additional recovery plus money out of pocket.... when I discuss this Dr Carmina Cardenas tries to cover it up.... her only offer to help was for me to return to her facility on an airplane during Covid with a high fever and pus coming out of my body which would have been dangerous to my health, no way I could have gone thru an airport sick and why not go to my local emergency room? She was against it but I did so anyways and found out I was extremely life threatening sick, sadly she down played this.... she attributed my getting this infection to being a weightloss patient.... well most of her patients are weightloss patients as were the other women who got sick during my stay.... no, her facility got us sick due to something unclean during our stay!! I do not recommend this doctor! As it turns out there is others thru the years with issues. Just do your research and do not be fooled by the pretty website and glam offices!!
