Patients Testimonials
Excerpts:
"As a physician and veteran of a previous plastic surgery procedure, I know quality when I see it. I have also traveled internationally and know the best plastic surgeons work out of Brazil and Mexico, with Mexico being the better value. In fact, as an American living in Germany, I felt it was worth the plane trip all the way to Mexico to have this procedure. It was SO worth it!"
"Pat Marino takes care of all the arrangements in Mexico (although getting there is up to you), including a peaceful and health-promoting recovery in beautiful San Miguel de Allende. The surgeon is a wonderful talented man who clearly cares about his patients. I could not have dreamed of better results. This is also one of the few "extreme values" in medicine - excellent, flawless quality at less than 1/3 the cost of the US."
"Having a facelift under the auspices of the cosmetic surgeon and his skilled team is a dream and should be the only way to go for that major surgery. I was very scared, as you know, but as soon as I got to Celaya and met the cosmetic surgeon and Andrea, I knew I was in capable hands and knew it would work well. They are, as advertised, the two nicest and most caring, fun and warm people I've ever met...and when you meet him, you just KNOW he's going to take your face and treat it right! He did that with me. I am still healing, of course, but I can tell the results will be very good. I look like myself, except more "refreshed", which is important when considering facelift surgery, because you don't want to come out of it looking younger but like someone else! They did all the testing and consultation when I got there and I'm basically a healthy gal, so that went well. One who is considering this surgery should be in overall good health and get "in training" by exercising, etc., as much as possible before the trip, because I think it makes it easier"
"...also had an endoscopic brow lift done and eyelid job (lower need redoing), as well as reduction of a bad nasal fracture after an accident, so I know what to expect. My question is mainly about the scars in the hair. I wear my hair all pulled back into a bun. How visible are the scars and did you have any trouble with thinning hair over them? Patricia told me the scars in front of the ears are actually hidden inside the ears. It's amazing how many American surgeons still put the scar outside of the ears. I met a women when I was an intern who had had a facelift in Mexico and had no scar lines visible as they were inside the ears - I was so impressed (maybe she went to this doc!) "
"I wish I had stayed longer because it turned out to be one of the best holidays I've ever had...I want to go back this year and spend more time there, it was so idyllic, so pleasant, so stimulating and so affordable! I finally told my husband and he was astonished. He really could not tell until he put on his eyeglasses and examined before and after photos. The results are very natural looking. I hated my wrinkly creepy neck and now I have the neck of a 25-year-old, smooth and young. But nobody remembers my old neck. They think I am wearing a new makeup or have a new haircut. Or they think because I recently sold my business that I am so relaxed and rid of tensions. It is really amazing. The fee I paid covered everything, even the pain pills and antibiotics he gave me to take after leaving the hospital, (I didn't need the pain pills, but did take sleeping pills which he also gave me because it was hard to get really comfortable); he removed the stitches at the hotel. No extra charges for anything, but I did tip the driver of the car $10 for each transfer. He even arranged a driver to show up at 5:30 a.m. for the early plane from Leon back to Houston."
