"I'm writing this review 3 weeks post op. I traveled from Las Vegas for Dr. Uribe to perform an implant change, lift, and nipple shaping on me. From the very beginning, communication with Dr. Vargas was quick, clear, pleasant, and helpful. I was nervous about having such a big procedure done in Mexico, but she answered all my questions and made the process so easy. She arranged appointments at local lab for bloodwork and an ultrasound leading up to the surgery, and always gave clear guidance on what to expect. The surgery itself was done in hospital Amecae. It was clean with kind nurses and helpful staff. For my overnight stay after surgery, I was given a private room with an ensuite bathroom and futon for a guest. I am beyond thrilled with my results! Dr. Uribe is meticulous and took his time to map out the perfect proportions and ratios for my body type. It was clear throughout the process that he takes pride in his work and enjoys creating beautiful results. In addition to my breasts, he removed a few moles, did a small fat transfer to my face to straighten my nose, lift my eyes, and fill my lips, then added some Botox to my forehead. Everything was done with a high level of quality and care, and at an incredible price. By the time I left, it felt as though Dr. Uribe and Dr. Vargas were more than just my doctors, they were friends. I can't recommend them highly enough, and am looking forward to returning to Cancun to see them again!"

"I was scared about having a total facelift, but Dr. Vargas was very patient and explained everything to me. I went to Cancun for 17 days. The doctors were very thorough and I had blood work , Chest x-ray and EKG before surgery. Now I looked 10 years younger thanks to Dr. Uribe."

"I’m so glad I chose Drs. Uribe and Vargas for my procedure. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and kind. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and informed at every step. On top of that, they both have a great sense of humor, which made the whole experience feel even easier. I always felt cared for and respected, and I couldn’t be happier with the results."

"Reviews don’t lie. From start to finish, my experience could not have gone any better. Dr Vargas’ communication was outstanding — she answered every single question and concern thoroughly before I even boarded my flight from New Zealand, which gave me complete peace of mind. Arriving in Mexico, I was understandably nervous, especially not speaking Spanish. However, the moment I sat in the consultation room with Dr Vargas and Dr Uribe, that anxiety disappeared. I felt completely comfortable, heard, and understood. Between them, they took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel genuinely confident that I was in the very best hands. The hospital chosen for my procedure was excellent, and the staff were nothing short of amazing — attentive, kind, and incredibly reassuring throughout my stay. I felt truly cared for every step of the way. And then… the results. After seeing my breast lift and implants, I can confidently say that Dr Uribe is not just a surgeon — he is an artist, and the scalpel is his paintbrush. The results are beautifully balanced, natural, and far exceeded my expectations. If you are considering surgery and are looking for skill, professionalism, communication, and truly exceptional results, I cannot recommend this team highly enough. I would make the journey from New Zealand again without hesitation."

"I went to Cancun to Blue Medical to meet Dr. Uribe on Nov 6th, and my wife had her surgery the next day on Nov 7th, 2025. She got a fleur de lis abdominoplasty. Overall, the whole experience went really smoothly from start to finish. Dr. Uribe and the team were very friendly and easy to talk to. They took the time to walk us through everything in detail and made sure we understood what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. We never felt rushed or brushed off, which made a big difference since it is a major surgery. The surgery itself went well, and they were able to remove a lot of excess skin. You can really tell that Dr. Uribe is experienced at what he does. The results reflect that, and it gave us a lot of confidence in choosing him. Recovery was handled well too. The team was supportive and gave clear instructions, which made the healing process a lot less stressful. Now that she is mostly healed, everything looks really good and has come together better than we expected. The healing process has been smooth overall. We are really happy with how everything turned out and glad we chose Blue Medical and Dr. Uribe. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a similar procedure."
