10+ Highly Rated Cleft Lip Palate Clinics in Costa Rica

This wasn’t an expense—it was an investment in my life.

While i didnt end up a patient of Dr. Samano, our zoom appointment was excellent. I found him to be very personable, professional and easy to converse with. He presented himself as extremely knowledgeable and caring, and was able to easily answer all my questions and concerns. Given my interaction with him and his background, I feel very comfortable in recommending Dr. Samano for capsulectomy.

This doctor disfigured, gaslit and ghosted me. Dr Acosta gave me a BBL which involved liposuction. It gave me permanent lumps on my mid area He neither warned me of this risk, nor was it stated in the document I signed. When I left his office he told me to get lymphatic massages for the fibroids. I followed his instructions exactly, but it was ineffective. When I later contacted him about this, he told me that they weren’t fibroids and created a false narrative that this occurred because I didn’t follow his advice which was a blatant lie We had agreed in advance that I was to have 3 treatments with him: the second a BBL and the third a tummy tuck. He never advised me not to get a BBL or lipo (required for BBL). When I asked him to clarify,he told me that he’d stated that the proper treatment for this was a tummy tuck, which made no sense whatsoever. He refused to clarify what “this” even was. A tummy tuck in no way enhances the buttocks. I then sent him screenshots of every conversation we’d ever had, illustrating that at no time had he advised against the BBL. Since we were still slated to get the 3rd procedure (the tuck) I asked what he would do to treat these lumps during that time. No matter how many times I asked (even begged) I asked for specificity, he gave me cryptic, non-specific answers. He named procedures but refused to explain what they meant or what the risks were. When I initially approached him about this, it wasn’t to blame him. I just wanted a reasonable solution, yet he was defensive, manipulative, and vague from the very beginning and refused to provide me with any. These horrible lumps only appeared after the lipo. There is no other possible cause. He said it was loose skin which was expected. To be clear, IT IS NOT LOOSE SKIN. When I pull the skin back the hard lumps are still there, clear as day. The more I attempted to reach a coherent resolution, the more contentious and defensive he became; constantly deflecting, avoiding, and using cryptic rhetoric. He constantly gas-lit me and even questioned my mental health. It soon became apparent that he didn’t actually have a solution, or didn’t want to do what was necessary to resolve the problem, which is why he desperately tried to project the blame onto me. The last we spoke, he still agreed to see me for the third procedure which was part of our initial agreement, even though a resolution still had not been established. It was so stressful and still causes me extreme anxiety to this day. Then he just disappeared. For 6 months now I have tried politely and diplomatically to reach out to him, repeatedly explaining that I didn’t want to have to do this review but would do so if he didn’t respond. I was far more patient than I should have been. Clearly, he didn’t think I’d follow through Pictures don’t lie and there appears to be a pattern here, despite his high rating. I did a little digging and read a review by someone who stated that he had agreed to do a procedure on her, but when she asked him to be clear about the risks, he backed out of the arrangement. He obviously doesn’t have much respect for the hippocratic oath. The first procedure I got with him was a facelift, which went well and he seemed like a very nice person. Little did I know that if something were to go sideways, his MO would be to blame the victim and offer no empathy or clear solution. It should also be noted that he neglected to mention until after the 3rd day, that I should not sit on my butt. The first 6 weeks are the most important but the first 3 days in particular. As a result, I lost at least 50% of the fat he injected (he said I’d lose no more than 20 or 25%). I later got sick and lost the rest but that part wasn’t his fault. So in the end, there’s no butt enhancement, $10,000 lost, 6 weeks of extreme discomfort, and permanent disfigurement. I am beyond devastated. He will retort to this with lies and probably some out of context screenshots. Please don’t fall for it.

Wonderful facial for sensitive skin. Andrea did a great job explaining each step. I will definitely be back!

Excellent experience!

Incredible, I fixed my nose and it looks f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c-o,

Was incapacitated due to a bicycle accident, took my credit card and charged $8,000 while I have no memory of giving my card or signing receipts. Really unbelievable that places like this can operate. Please use the following URL to file medical complaints for medical malpractice with the Mexican government: https://www.gob.mx/cofepris

After a lot of research , I know without a doubt that I chose the best plastic surgeon in Cancun ! In 2023 I decided to have a brow lift , upper blepharoplasty and revision rhinoplasty with Dr Arturo Valdez. To say that Dr Valdez is a brilliant surgical sculptor is an understatement. His expertise, attention to detail and ability to listen and understand exactly what I wanted was truly impressive. He is very professional , attentive and compassionate. My eyelids are no longer saggy, they look the same as they did when I was in my 30' s . My new nose is beautiful and very elegant looking ! And most importantly I am able to breathe properly now. Last year I decided to go back to Dr Valdez and get earlobe reduction surgery along with the removal of numerous cherry angiomas all over my body. Because of the dainty new earlobe shape my whole face has a more youthful appearance now. I have another plastic surgery planned in the next few months and am so excited about seeing Dr Valdez once again !

He was awesome! My recovery was harder than I thought it would be, so be sure to do your homework first, but the results are AMAZING! I had a tummy tuck and thigh lift and 360 lipo. Results are AMAZING; a small waist, rounded butt, flat tummy and thighs that don’t embarrass me any more. While in Mexico, Dr. Cartagena was so responsive to all of our questions within minutes, and we worried we were bothering him, but he didn’t care, his primary concern was me and that was great. Even though I am no longer in Mexico, Dr Cartagena reaches out to me at least twice a week to check on how I am doing. I will go back and see him in another month for a final check-up and look forward to what he has to say. Such a positive person and really cares about his patients.

The truth is that I will go to perform in the month of May and I will tell you how it went. He gives me a lot of confidence because of his personality and we will see his work soon, because all women want to see ourselves beautiful but that fear and fear leaves us with the doubt to people we love our lives.

He is a very competent surgeon to me I have practiced two operations and I am very happy with the results plus he is a great responsible human being and very professional I recommend him widely thanks doctor Martin.

Fantastic.
