Patient story: Verónica, 8 months after her surgery
Hello, my name is Verónica and this is my testimony. I am 8 months post-op and my experience with the surgery was spectacular. The result exceeded my expectations by a lot. I did not want a radical change, but something subtle and natural. I tell you honestly, this has been the best decision I have ever made.
One of the things I highlight most is the doctor's human quality. He makes you feel comfortable, safe, and gives you a great deal of confidence. So I can tell you that after these eight months I am very happy with my decision and the final result, and I recommend him to everyone, infinitely.

If it is not you who is going to operate on me, I would not have surgery. Hello, I am Laura, I am the doctor's most difficult and complicated patient: his wife. And this is my story.
I made the decision to have surgery because I had had my implants for more than 17 years. I think that, together with motherhood, it was time. Your body transforms, and you end up with something that really does not belong to you. Your body goes through changes, you look different. You give up a life of more rest, and so less energy, and so less desire to train. There are women who cannot train because they do not have the time. And I think there is a moment when, as your children grow, you decide, and you know it is my moment, to go back to being who I was.
Beyond that, no, it is a triviality, I do not see it as a triviality. Because breast reconstruction is to rebuild. Because maybe before, they had beautiful breasts. You go back to being you, the one you were many years ago. Vitally, energetically, in your self-esteem. If your self-esteem is good, your patience is better. You tolerate more, that is, endless things that people can see beyond plastic surgery.
Since my first pregnancy I knew I wanted to have the implants removed. However, my husband and doctor asked me to hold on a little longer, because we knew that in the end our plan was to have another child. After that time, I did it. It was the best decision I made. I can say it: it is spectacular. My recovery was wonderful, it was calm, it was divine. Today I have to say that I am only 19 days out from surgery and I feel extremely well. What is important is that you know how and with whom.

Hello, my name is María Alejandra and I had surgery with Dr. Samir 40 days ago, and this is my story.
Since I was about 15, my biggest insecurity was my breasts. The size was something that made me uncomfortable, and when I came here it was like clicking with the doctor. One of the things that worried me most, also because I am a young patient, was the scar on the breasts. And he shows you results very similar to your case, so it fills you with a lot of confidence, and in the end I think I ended up with no worries at all.
I also had a breast lift without implants and a 360 liposuction with technology. Honestly, I never felt nervous, I was always more eager to get there. I was a little afraid of the recovery, but when I woke up, I woke up with zero pain. My recovery was wonderful, my body was super grateful. It was my first surgery, a big one, and I never felt pain.
Although the doctor always told me the results would not be visible right away, the day after my surgery I loved my results. Above all my biggest dissatisfaction, which was my breasts: the next day I saw them and said, wow, they turned out better than I really expected. Now when I look in the mirror, I like what I see and I feel much more confident.
I would recommend Dr. Samir 100%: a trustworthy person, I love his personality. He makes you feel super safe and gives you a familiarity that not just any surgeon offers.
