BEWARE-BEWARE-BEWARE!
The supporting Staff (of All Departments) do a Fine Job! With the EXCEPTION they are "TRAINED DOWN" to GAS LIGHT YOU after Surgeons DISFIGURE YOU!
FACIAL SURGEONS: QUIROZ, Owner-Operator, is a BUTCHER! Dr. Fuentes, from Vida-Cosmed, After charging me more $$$, tried to HIDE QUIROZ's DISFIGURING WORK. VIDA-COSMED made NO Attempt to Honor their own "Revision Surgery Policy".
BODY SURGEON. Meeting with Dr. Castaneda and Seeing 1st hand Patients surgical results (arms, breast, stomach & legs), gives us cause to Believe Dr Castaneda is a Great Choice for Cosmetic Body Surgery. His honesty & temperament shines through.
While Dr. Fuentes & Dr. Bucio do good facial work-do NOT dismiss the 1STAR Reviews generously provided- Surgeons do make Mistakes!
Especially the surgeons @ VIDA.
KEEPING it REAL- TRUTH FILLED, Dr. Alejandro Quiroz (chief surgeon) of VIDA/COSMED is 76 years OLD. Cosmetic Surgeons NEED to 1st CARE! And have high levels of: CONCENTRATION-STAMINA-PATIENCE & SOUND SKILL SET to perform 5 HOURS (Plus) of Facial Surgery- A Caring Surgeon CONSISTENTLY Provides Appealing Cosmetic Surgical Results (what you Expect & Paid for). However, NO ONE at 76 years OLD can perform at the Levels as during YOUTHFUL Years! And most Certainly, QUIROZ doesn't Care about results. He is a GREEDY OLD Man who keeps working. But, QUIROZ will DISFIGURE You!
Because of what we Seen, Heard & Experienced 1st Hand, Mr QUIROZ ("chief surgeon") is widely known for Consistently Providing DISFIGURING SURGICAL RESULTS. After he DISFIGURES YOU, (Trust Evaporated), be confident in Knowing Mr Quiroz will DISRESPECT YOU- He Will ABUSE YOU. If You so choose to ask for "REVISION" Surgery with Hopes to Correct QUIROZ's BUTCHERY, his DISFIGURING RESULTS, he Demands YOU to; 1). Bend the knee 2). PAY more of YOUR Hard Earned $$$ for REVISION of his HORRID RESULTS. Read Negative Reveiws on REAL SELF!
Mid February 2026, a 65 year old Lady, from Calabasas, CA was Extremely: Excited & Talkative to have a "Full Face Lift. But on the day she was leaving, she had been Extremely: DISTRAUGHT-DEPRESSED. Overwhelmed, from QUIROZ's BUTCHERY, She FAINTED- FELL- HITTING Her HEAD on the FLOOR! She had to be Wheel Chaired to see Quiroz- then Hurried in the Wheel Chair out the building to the shuttle van (going to Airport). Upset, She was Withdrawn. With head Down, She did NOT speak 1 word to anyone! Not even her brother who accompanied her!
Several Patients Witnessed the BUTCHERY on the Left Side of her Face: Very DEEP PULL LINE running Entire Length of Left Cheek- THREE LARGE LUMPS (2" too 3" Long), running vertically & a DEEP Valley in Front of her Left Ear. No telling the DAMAGE/S QUIROZ Created Behind her Ears! PATHETIC excuse of a "surgeon"!
Debra from Texas, retired after 42 years oncology, PAID Over 21K for: Full Face Lift, Upper Lip Contouring & Boutique Fees- late 2025. CONVENIENTLY, QUIROZ "FORGOT" to do her Upper Lip while under Anesthesia. DISTRAUGHT-DISGUSTED-DISMAYED, Debra asked to meet Quiroz. Cruelly, QUIROZ made her wait in his lobby 3 Hours! QUIROZ 1st said "do you want a Drink"? He then offered, "you will Only have to PAY $750.00 (for Anesthesia) if you return for Lip Surgery". Her lip bothered he to the point she had Juvederm injected, at Her COST ($800.00), as a Temporary Filler until she gets home- to see an ETHICAL Surgeon. QUIROZ "did NOT REFUND Debra's 2.5K for QUIROZ "forgetting" what Debra PAID for "(Trap to get her back to spend more of her Hard Earned Retirement)!
QUIROZ DISFIGURED MY FACE: Right Temple area a 2" LONG Horizontal direction LUMP, a Stitch end Protruded my Face for 3 Months, Removed too much Flesh from behind my Left Ear (PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT), a DEEP PULL LINE from Left Temple too lower cheek & WRINKLES around Corner of Left Mouth region & throughout Left Cheek areas. On My $$$, Dr. Fuentes tried to soften-up QUIROZ'S BUTCHERY. He injected fat(a "work-around- a temporary cover-up). I Met many more patients BUTCHERED by QUIROZ. But, YELP Limits Character Space.
YOU Owe it to YOUR: LOOKS, HEALTH, MONEY & TIME to READ ALL Generously written 1 STAR RATINGS! Typically, DISFIGURED People will NOT Provide Reviews! They do NOT want to keep Reliving QUIROZ's BUTCHERY or there would be MANY, MANY more 1 Star Ratings. PLEASE do NOT Twist 1Star Ratings- do NOT make a inherent MISTAKE thinking "this will NEVER happen to me at VIDA-COSMED Or, 1 Star Ratings are people with unrealistic expectations Or, the PRICE is (seems) so CHEAP- I'll take the RISK". Read ALL the NEGATIVE 1STAR RATINGS Under their 2 Names (COSMED & VIDA) on: GOOGLE, REAL SELF & YELP. Because of QUIROZ's Inconsistent Surgical Skills, YOU will NEED and (no matter what lie they tell you), VIDA & COSMED will make You PAY to REVISE QUIROZ's BUTCHERY. Factor: Your Time for Travel & Recovery, MONEY for Travel & Surgery TIMES TWO! Then shop to source a CARING Surgeon! read more
