10+ Highly Rated Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Clinics in Costa Rica

The treatment I had was upper/lower eyelid lift, mid/lower/neck facelift with fat transfer to marionette lines and checks. Dr. Araya was very accommodating to my crazy travel schedule, he was very patient and understanding with my unorganized and crazy financing, he was thoughtful and explained the procedures and he made sure I was comfortable before and after the procedure. I chose this clinic because it had good communication and response times. The price was an excellent value. The outcome of the procedure better than expected. I was scared and nervous about being in Costa Rica to have this procedure but the clinic and nursing staff was kind and organized, everything went smooth and without problems. The recovery nurse was at my bedside every morning, anticipating my needs, encouraging, and compassionate. The driver was patient and sympathetic. The accommodations are comfortable. It was nerve-wracking as I travelled alone, but it was worth it.

After all the research I did on doctors in Mexicali, I was introduced to him by PlacidWay. I am so glad that I made a decision to book my TT, MR, LIPO 360 and BBL with him. He’s extremely professional and skilled. He explained the full procedure and recovery to me and made all my doubts go away. I am posting this review three days after my surgery. So far I’m be try happy with everything. I will post another review in 3 months to talk about my results as I cannot say anything about that right now however his staff and he himself are amazing. I came here alone and they really looked after me. They all speak English really well and they will be at your service 24/7. If you’re thinking about any surgery in Mexico, please book this doctor and you won’t be disappointed.

From the beginning to the end, it was seamless. You have to understand I spent years researching trying to find the perfect daughter for my needs. I was introduced to Placid Way that introduced me to many many doctors, but I ended up finding Dr. Victor Samano and couldn’t be happier. Aileen his associate was such a pleasure and very responsive to all my questions and I had a lot of them. They did a double blepharoplasty on my ice and a roll face and neck left. Always done within three hours. I spent one night in the hospital then was released to go back. To my hotel where I could start to heal. The hospital was super clean and the nurses were on top of everything after getting back to the hotel day one through three or very painful and didn’t even recognize myself and actually the pain wasn’t that bad. It was more being uncomfortable with the headdress on. As time went on I see that five and six were my turnaround days and holy can I ever notice a big difference from the beginning to the ending Cancun, Dr. Samano we’re in touch on a daily basis to see how I was doing. I’ve even been back five days and they still both check in to make sure I’m OK I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. That’s a five star Dr. Samano with his professionalism was also a five star and Aikeen being very punctual with Messages and giving me all the information I needed to go forward was a definite five star as well. I can’t say much more, but I give this whole experience a time it wasn’t easy at the time of going in I had a lot of anxiety, but Dr. Samano and his team took very good care of me. I’m looking in the future to have some other things done with his clinic. So if you’re looking for a great doctor with great credentials, great bedside manner, professional clean speaks English. He’s your guy. If I knew how to submit pictures, I definitely would’ve done that. Monique March 22, 2025

My experience with Dra Bello has been great. She provides services just as good if not better than what you receive in the United States. Her clinic is clean and her staff is friendly. They greet you by first name when you walk in the door. Most of the staff here speaks great English. Dra Bello have skilled hands. She gave me the results that I wanted. She changed the frame of my body and got rid of a problem I had my adult life. She is very caring and friendly.

It's very important because this way everyone who needs this service can be documented. I congratulate you.

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.
