Dr Carmina Cardenas, Mexico



Recommended Posts

Dr Carmina Cardenas was my plastic surgeon. I am beyond happy with everything she did and the cost was half what I would have paid here in the USA. I also had wonderful

after care in Mexico. I feel

so blessed she was my doctor. Feel free to pm me about her. She is an artist!!

she did a neck lift, breast lift and Tummy Tuck for me. I'm going back in a few months for a bbl lift and fat transfer to my face as well.

I adore her. Trust me she is the one you want. She knows how to work with weight loss patients bodies!!!!

You look great! I've already considered Dra. Cardenas for plastics when I need them, but that might be a while yet. From the photos I've seen (including yours) she does some beautiful stitching - I've seen some pretty jagged scars from other surgeons!

How long was your recovery?

I had my surgeries 6 weeks ago. I'm still recovering but almost back to normal. I needed the full 6 weeks.

I had a neck lift with muscle tightening, I had a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, and a breast lift without an implant.

In the end it was about 13,500... I also had filler put in my lips which I love.

I'm going back in sept for fat to my cheeks and buttocks.

That is awesome! I hope there will be enough fat to put in my buttocks when I'm done. Got about 10 more pounds to go. I will totally check her out and tell her I heard from you. :)

You look wonderful! Does she offer financing? Did you fly into San Diego and they picked you up there? Did she make you separate the surgeries or was that your choice. I will need neck, boobs, 360 tummy, butt and thigh lift.

Can you stray longer than a week if you had more done or by choice? Thank you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
