opinions needed on Dr. Carmina Cardenas, MX



Recommended Posts

I just put a deposit down for an extended TT with Dr. Carmina Cardenas in TJ, MX. I'm looking for anyone who has any knowledge or opinions, good or bad. Please PM me, if necessary. I guess I should have asked this before I booked my date for Sept. Thanks in advance for any info

I just saw your post. I had many surgeries dine by her and I have only positive things to say. When is your surgery and what are you getting done? Where are you recovering

i have a lot of mixed reviews about this surgeon. there is a great site you can go to and find out everything you need to know about any procedure your looking to have as well as the top surgeons who do them. Cardenas has loads of reviews on the site as well. Realself.com

great site!

There is a weirdo on that site who says she hated Cardenas results after 2 days out of surgery then 4 months later she loved it. I read that and when I went to TJ with my friend for her sleeve, I saw Dr Cardenas assistant and asked her about it. She said this lady was back and forth with the procedure, one day she wanted next day she didnt. Finally on the day of her ride bailed on her. Fatimeh asked her if she still wanted it. She said yes and Fatimeh has arranged a ride for her that morning. The day after surgery she was already complaining about results and Fatimeh and Dr Cardenas told her that you have to wait 6 months for final results. I am totally in agreement with that. Aslo you have to eat healthy and exercise or results will be sabotaged. Guess what...I am an emotional eater and ate too much. Now I am paying the price. We have to listen to our doctors for the most part.

I totally agree with this. Cardenas did my plastic surgery and at first, I wasnt sure if I liked my butt. It was wider but I didnt see any projection. Fast forward one year later, and my butt has taken on a life of its own! Lol I think it was around month 7 that it started "fluffing." Im super happy with my results :)

She knows what she is doing. I am a bit wider too but that is because she added some to thighs to smooth the lines if you know what I mean

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
