Patient testimonials
Alexandra Pedroza
2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to undergo surgery for the second time, I had a forehead lift-endoscopy and the first time was in 2019, it was a blepharoplasty, they removed the fat from my eyelids. Due to the pandemic, it was only possible for me to return this year. Dr. Hoogstra's way of working is incredible! You remain as if nothing had happened. It didn't hurt at all, I didn't take a single analgesic for the pain, I didn't have any pain and the recovery was very fast. It is worth traveling from the United States for the second time. Since the security of not taking any risks and of looking good is guaranteed. I tried to take a friend with me who wanted to have a face and neck lift and my friend didn't want to go, she went to Cancun Mexico, because it was cheaper for her. They left her with facial paralysis on the entire left side of her face. Dr. Hoogstra takes care of you and treats you as if you were his family. And his work team is fantastic. Very attentive girls. Josefina, Lucia, José Luis, thank you, even the lady who was bringing coffee to my husband. I do not remember his name . She is in charge of caring for the patients' families. And he helped me get dressed. Very grateful to all of you. A piece of advice to all people who want to have facial beautification. Please see him with a doctor who is highly trained. It is not easy to travel to Argentina from Texas, United States. But the effort is worth it since I put myself in the hands of an eminence in surgery Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.🤗🤗🤗🤗

El pos-operatorio fue más complicado para mí porque no hice reposo ninguno, me moví como si no tuviera nada, eso me hizo tardar un poco más la recuperación pero fue perfecta.
