Hi Dr. Mendieta!
How are you? I went in today for my second post-op and had a massage performed which was very soothing.
So far, everything looks great. I am still in disbelief that I have no bruising and really no pain (all I've felt is minor discomfort, pressure, and some electric shocks of pain every now and then which I assume are just the nerves regenerating). I'd heard of so, so many horror stories regarding the post-op pain that I still can't believe how easy you made it for me! I also thought my breasts would look somewhat abnormal at first (which is what I'd always heard) - i.e., how high they sit, one being higher than the other etc. However, I can't stop looking at them in the mirror - they look like what I would expect them to look like after at least a month. I thought I'd have to hide from showing them to anyone and I can't wait to get to NY to show them off! This is great! You also did an amazing (!) job in correcting the asymmetry - they are both sitting at the same level and look to be the same size!
Thank you SOOO much - your hands are truly blessed by God and are a true artist, not to mention an outstanding surgeon!!! Please let Nina know to feel free to list me as a contact that prospective patients can call to talk to - I would be more than happy to share what a wonderful experience I had with anyone considering a breast augmentations with you.
Again, doctor, I am so, so grateful for what you've done for me. You couldn't have done a better job - I am still in awe that I have no bruising or pain. All my friends and family who have come by are just as impressed with what you done as I am.
Congratulations also on your staff - they are all wonderful, especially Nina - I have met few women as charming, professional, and beautiful as she.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! You've given me an unimaginable boost to my self-esteem!

Dear Dr. Mendieta,
I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for all you have done for me. Since my surgery took place a distance away from home I was very nervous, but the second that I met you my mind was at ease. You were very honest and gave me all the information and options that I needed. You are a real professional and I felt comfortable with you, your office and your staff.
My surgery has been a pleasant experience and has exceeded my expectations. I feel like a new person. Than you for the time you and your staff took with me prior to making my decision to have surgery and for the wonderful job you did.
Please say thank you to your employees, as they were a part of making me feel comfortable and relaxed. Lisa is great with patients, in the operating room and Nina answered many of my phone calls and questions. To me, it made a big difference that your entire staff is helpful, friendly, and professional. To me they are a reflection of you. They are truly wonderful people.
I will recommend some business to you and also keep you in mind for the future should I consider any other form of cosmetic surgery again.
Sincerely,
B.S.C. - Surgery Date Jan. 4, 2001
Dear Dr. Mendieta,
I just wanted to quickly take the time to thank you and your staff for doing such a wonderful job with my breast augmentation. I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my results and if I could do it over again I would definitely come back to you. I wanted to also let you know that I was seriously considering going to a female plastic surgeon because I felt that as a woman a female surgeon would better understand how important the outcome would be to me. However, discovering your work online convinced me that the gender of the surgeon is of no consequence. The more important thing is how skilled the surgeon is. That doesn't matter if that surgeon is male or female.
I cannot believe that it's only been three days since my surgery and I am up and running. I went to my friend's son's baseball game this morning and I also went to a swimwear store and bought a bathing suit that I never thought I would be able to wear. Thanks to you and your staff, that swimwear store near my apartment complex is probably going to make a lot of money because of you! Actually probably almost every clothing store within a 60 mile radius will probably cash in because of my new breasts (perhaps you should also open a clothing store! LOL).
Again, I just wanted to quickly thank you and your staff for a job well done. It was definitely worth the trip down there. As a matter of fact I'm going to tell all my friends who are interested in BAs that if they want excellent results, then they need to come see you in Coconut Grove. I will call the office sometime next week so I can go for a follow up appointment.
Thank you Dr. Mendieta!
Sincerely,
K.
Dr. Mendieta, it is all your fault that my body is finally looking like I wanted it to look. It is about time. It has been almost fifty years of fighting with it. I truly understand why women when they fix one part of their body, continue to repair the rest of it.
My spirit, my energy my attitude and my heart have been restored with plastic surgery. I knew that it would not change the way people perceived me, but I did it for myself. The comments, compliments and remarks have definitely been all positive. I was asked if the money I spent was worth it? I can say that every time has brought me new happiness. My clothes fit or are baggy. It is a joy to walk in to my closet finding something I can wear. My co-workers look at me with disbelief. They are all asking millions of questions regarding plastic surgery. I do not mind referring people to the BEST DOCTOR in Miami, Florida. I can't wait for my mother to see me. She will be amazed.
When I say that I LOVE YOU, I mean it from my heart. You have made such a difference in my life because you cared to do your very best work on me. I am attending an awards ceremony tomorrow. I have chosen a fitted suit (that did not fit) to wear. I am having a blast showing off my body. Everyone wants to touch and feel the scars. They are amazed when they do not find a scar or a swollen area.
They are amazed at the modern techniques of plastic surgery. Perhaps, my breast will be next. Thanks for being the best plastic surgeon in Miami. I still am going to adopt you as part of my family.
Thank you so much!!!

"Great surgeon and staff so friendly and completely eased me."

"I think he is great. He makes you feel very comfortable and confident in his skills and answers all of your questions."

"He did an impressive job. I discovered him through research on the internet. The woman in one of the "before" pictures had breasts very similar to mine and after he operated on her, the "after" picture looked AMAZING! I told myself that no matter where he was located I would have him do my surgery. Lucky for me I live in Tampa so I was only a few hours away."

"I used Dr. Mendieta on 9/01/00 and he was great. I did a lot of research on docs because I preferred the TUBA method. Dr. Mendieta was one of only a few in South FL that does TUBA and his credentials were outstanding. I got smooth, round, mentor, 675cc overfilled to 700, over the muscle. His staff was excellent and his office arranged the financing for me. I would highly recommend him."

"I'm very happy with Dr. Mendietta (he is extremely nice), and with my results so far. I didn't have much pain and you can't see my scars at all (areola incision), and I've had many nice comments about my figure. The staff at Dr. Mendietta's office is also very nice and helpful, especially Nina, the office manager."
Sincerely,

"He is a wonderful surgeon! A miracle worker! I went from a small (very small) 36A to a full 36 C. They look PERFECT!!!!!!!! :)"
