I want to have cosmetic surgery done in Costa Rico. How can I research doctors and find out which are excellent and which have had lawsuits and complaints against them?

No trackbacks.

I had cosmetic surgery and had a treatment called oxy-mist. It is an oxygen treatment for faster healing and it really works. I was healed in a few days.It is the best program for post op. healing.

Check out the Rosenstock-Lieberman Clinic in San JOse. Dr Cohen and Dr Rashi are absolutely the Best. The recovery places are wonderful. Las Cumbres and Ana Carmona's. I leave this Thursday for Costa Rica.

I want to have plastic surgery in Costa Rico. I am considering top and bottom eyes and also a mini tummy tuck. I do not want a full tummy tuck since I only have a little bit of loose skin, the muscles are very right. Any suggestions? I am a little learey of traveling to another country without knowing the Doctor or being able to talk to former patients.

Thank for any info,Maryanne

what doctor that is well recommended for this type of procedure .Please e-mail me his address and what consultation can he advise me before I can have this procedure.

I am interested in having a tummy tuck. My clothes would fit properly if I had this procedure done. I have to wear baggy clothes that can fit over my stomach. Currently I have to buy my jeans 2 sizes larger to fit over my pot belly. This causes my jeans to sag in the thigh area. Please advise if you know a reliable surgeon.

I just got back from CR, I flew in last night after having some lipo, eye lift, nasal reconstruction, minor cheek injections(used from the lipo) and underarm wetness cleared using Botox. My lips look so fresh and natural, the swelling has gone down in my eyes now theylook great. My underarms have no pain nor my cheeks. The entire lipo thing was something I never thought I needed but, even after dieting and surfing, trainning... my thighs and hips never changed. My nose has been fractured 3 times and it was amazing to work with each one of the staff. I still have some bruising under my eyes, but big glasses seem to help. Be prepared, I had no idea that the lipo, though perm. removing fat cells first your body swells, then in 5 weeks u begin to see the changes. After 4 months of living in CR and interviewing surgeons I proudly advise Rosenstock-Lieberman!!! Stay in ESCAZU Best Western-close, safe and room service for your recovery.Good Luck!

I am booked to have surgery at the Rosenstock clinic in Sept. 08

His website says he is certified by the American board of Plastic Surgeons, but they don't list his name when I go to their websites (they have a section for surgeons out of the US)

I"m hoping this list is still active and that someone can give me recommendations of the best recovery places, as well as their opinions on the Lieberman-Rosenstock surgery center. Their before/after shots don't impress me much!

Also, if you've had surgery already, please let me know if you felt you were 'people friendly' within 2 weeks as I have to go back to work in retail.

Thanks!

I had a face lift with Dr. Alfaro at CIMA. He was highly recommended by a friend in Atlanta. My facelift looks great after 2 years BUT I did have some problems. I had (and still have) a deep line between eyebrows which he treated. That did not turn out good at all and now I have scares on both eyebrows where he went in to cut the muscle. Also, I ended up having to have a scar on my neck lasered. After the facelift, my neck hurt worse than anything else. I saw a Plastic Surgeon in the States s year ago who lasered a scar on my neck. He said that during the face lift my skin ripped on my neck. He also asked why it wasnt repaired then because it would have been easy. I had no idea why it wasnt. This same plastic surgeon said that it looked like two different people did my facelift.( I cant see the scars so I dont know) I did ask my friend who referred me to Dr. Alfaro and she indicated that he has an assistant that helps with facelifts and the reason I didnt have much bruising is because they work fast. Dr. Alfaro also left staples in my head which I did not discover until I got back to the States. I finally found a clinic that would remove them. I also mentioned this to my friend and she said another person she knew had the same problem. So I should have made sure he removed all the staples. I have no idea how I could do that since I had no idea how many he put in. So if you use Dr. Alfaro be sure all the staples are removed.
