Dr. Alejandro quiroz



Recommended Posts

I guess this is too late to be of any help, but last year I went to Dr Quiroz April 10, 2013 and he did a lower face/neck lift a breast lift/implant and arm skin surgery. At first I gave him high marks as I did see a improvement, but was not happy that the breast tissue was simply folded over and sewn with what looked like a basting stich. These lead to horrible scars. The arm incision was cut at a angle and there was a 3 inch pulled area at the bottom of both arms. The face was the best of the three but I still was left with the deep lines running from the noise to the mouth. Then it was time for my lower body lift, hubby was not happy with the outcome from Dr Q so I started going to other Plastic Surgeons for consults everyone of them told me I needed to have revisions on all of the work Dr Q had done. The arms need to be recut and sewn, the breast need to have the implants removed and the whole pocket rebuilt, plus the face should have been pulled tighter. It was also at this time that I found on the site, realself, a pattern of sloppy work as told my many of his patients that also had the same type of folded skin with a basting stich...The clinic is beautiful and Dr Q is very charming and charismatic but you will only be at the center for a week or so and you will have to live with the outcome of your surgery for a lifetime or when you have a revision....I would steer clear...If you need a PS in TJ I would recommend my new surgeon Dr Victor Gutierrez, you can read about him on realself, he has several great reviews there.

Oh and as far as a credit card goes...Yes you better have one handy because my husband who traveled with me was constantly handing it over for such things as, day of surgery EKG, additional day of surgery labs, pain meds, and of course the implant, that I wasn't planning on, another $1,000. We ended up with almost $2,000 in additional fees. This past surgery with the New Surgeon, there were no additional fees for any of those charges.

      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.
