La-de-di Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 23 hours ago, KMD said: Would love some personal recommendations for neck or facelift and/or rhinoplasy from doctors in the area. It seems Drs. Bimbella and Gabriel Hernandez come up often, but not sure who specializes in what, or if there are others recommended. Any info would be appreciated. I'm very interested in checking out your community for a near future move, and hope to explore the area combined with a procedure. Thanks to anyone willing to share! I highly recommend Dr. Hernandez and support from Anne Dyer who makes it all easy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had upper and lower eye lid surgery in Guadalajara by Dra. Guadalupe Ortriz Salazar. Her office is/was at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Zapopan. I was/am still very pleased with the surgery and results. At the time I did some research like you are doing here. A local Ajijic resident, herself a retired Doctor from the States, had the surgery done by Dra. Ortiz after a recommendation from her Mexican Opthomologist (?). She was impressed with Dr. Ortiz and highly recommended her to me. Good luck with your search and surgery! https://www.tocdoc.com/doctor/dra-maria-guadalupe-ortiz-salazar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timjwilson Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'm curious; what is an upper arm reduction? I went through an extensive procedure which lengthened my leg by 4 inches; turned out great allowing ambulation but I'm trying to figure out the benefit in shorter arms. 😃😎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elders used to be respected for their experience and wisdom and didn't worry about things like arm flab. Now everyone wants to look like they're still 20 years old, which results in ridiculous outcomes like their eyebrows ending up halfway up their forehead, so they look like they are constantly surprised, having so much botox pumped into their faces that their only facial expression is 'immobile', and getting face lifts while their neck still belies their actual age. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafemediterraneo Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 16 hours ago, Upfront said: arm flab that comes with age. many women really worry about this It comes from doing a lot of physical work when your children are small--picking up/holding baby, hanging up laundry/hawling the basket, etc. When you no longer use it, it the muscle atrophies and the skin hangs. Big weight loss also....I use 5lb weights and it tones up. Wonder if the young women of today will have the same problem as they have strollers and washer/driers which I didn't....I come from a long lived female line and expect another 20-30 years of active life. I don't need to look like a teenager, but nothing wrong with keeping yourself in good condition..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young women of today, at least the ones I know, are really into physical exercise- they go to the gym, do crossfit, pilates, jog, etc. Of course there's some who are couch potatoes, stuffing their faces with junk food and never exercising, but that happened when I was young, too. In addition to carrying three kids around, I've always done plenty of physical labor and still do. I'm 71 and don't have any arm flab.

Andrea Rail Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hi I’m glad this site is still active! I’m looking for recommendations for a laser facial (maybe microneedling), and filler around marionettes. Is Dermika still open? Do Drs Bimbila or Ben do this? Thanks for any advice!

jausten09 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Dr. Hector Miramontes was an excellent surgeon in Guadalajara. He passed away in January. Many adverts are out there not revealing this and you are directed to a coordinator who is an ex-pat. I feel this is misleading since you are directed by phone or email to the coordinator who has no replacement, no medical training or idea as to who you should see if you have any problems as I did recently unless it is a regular doctor of your own choosing.

RoseinBerkeley Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hi all! My stepmom lives in Lake Chapala. I don’t know if you knew my father Sheldon James? He passed away some years ago. I believe I saw Dr Ben when I was there for a consultation. I did like his work but gosh that was like 7 years ago! I would like to have a mini face lift. Can you recommend anyone? Thank you all so much! Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
