Cancun... the name evokes images of white, sandy beaches, warm aqua waves and fancy drinks with little umbrellas.
Cancun also provokes images of luxury hotels, world-class dining and state of the art facilities, including Perfection Medical Spa in Cancun, a leading cosmetic surgical center located in the heart of sunny Cancun.
From tummy tucks to facial skin resurfacing to lip augmentation or ear cosmetic surgery, Perfection Medical Spa offers services to world travelers seeking specialized facial surgery and treatments that include laser depilation to ear or chin surgery.
Best of Both Worlds Argelia Soto visited the facility for surgery in December 2009. She went in for a MACS Lift procedure. A MACS (minimal access cranial suspension) lift is often recommended to patients with sagging cheeks and skin on the face and the neck. The procedure involves small incisions in front of the ear through which subcutaneous tissues can be "lifted" to achieve a more youthful appearance.
At 59, Argelia certainly didn't feel as old as she appeared in the mirror. She wanted to do something about it without undergoing massive facial surgical procedures and decided to look around for providers offering minimally invasive facial surgery.
Argelia logged onto the Internet and accessed PlacidWay, an international medical tourism portal offering consumers information regarding pricing, destinations, procedures and technologies around the world.
She researched plastic surgery centers in Cancun, Mexico, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. And why not? Not only did she want to take 10 years off her appearance, she wanted to have fun while doing it.
Argelia believed she had obtained the best of both worlds; excellent and experienced medical care combined with the ultimate vacation package. "This has been the best decision I ever made in my life.
I want its express my most sincere thanks for what you and your staff have done for me," Argelia says of Perfection Medical Spa. Argelia's first contact at Perfection was Patricia Arciniega, sales executive and patient coordinator for the clinic.
"Our goal is to treat all our patients like friends. We want to make them comfortable, answer their questions, through e-mail, phone or in person, and offer them the results they're looking for," says Ms. Arciniega.
Argelia underwent the procedure performed by Dr. Alfonso Gonzalez Cepeda. Says Argelia "Doctor Alfonso Gonzalez is an artist. I am so glad I went to Cancun for surgery. I had always heard that Latin doctors were amazing and from my experience, I can tell you, Dr. Alfonso Gonzalez is more than that. Thank you Dr. Gonzalez, and Paty, for turning me into a positive person. I couldn't be happier with the results.
