Hello everyone this is my first post here on the forum. I am pretty sure I have made my final decision to get FFS with Dr Cardenas in Mexico. I was wondering if anybody has gone to him for procedures?
I also just a phone consultation with Dr Harrison Lee in Beverly hills he said that surgeons should never just shave the chin it will leave the soft tissue hanging in a very unflattering way. But it seems a lot of girls have the corners of the chin shaved off. Has anybody has this procedure? Dr. Lee suggested a sliding genioplasty(did i spell that right?) but in my opinion my chin is fine its just the corners that are bothering me. blahh to having a square chin...
Has anybody had type 3 forehead work with cardenas? what were the results?
I saw one or two girls on youtube that went to dr cardenas and they look beautiful I just havent heard from many girls that have gone to him. He has a bunch of hand written testimonials on his site but I don't trust only words would rather see before and after pictures.
any info would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi!
I have gone to Dr Lazaro Cardenas Camarena in Mexico for FFS-related procedures and I DO NOT recommend him, based on my personal results. I sent you a private message with my email address if you want to discuss it any further.

Hi Bibi
Would love to discuss this with you if poss... Have looked into FFS with Dr Cardenas as his prices are very attractive, although I can't seem to find much info or review information. Could we PM please and exchange info?
Kind regards.

I am interested in any results from Dr. Cardenas, feel free to contact me please.
I went to Dr Cardenas in Guadalajara in 2009 and I had the following procedures done
1. Hairline advancement
2. Brow bone contouring
3. Brow lift
4. Buccal fat "pad" removed from my cheeks
5. Liposuction on my chin
6. Trachea shave
Dr Cardenas and his staff were very kind and I received great care, he really gave me the impression that he cares and respects the trans community. I wasn't feeling ready to go back to the hotel on my discharge day, so he actually gave me 2 additional hospital nights free. I'm very happy with all the work he did, but bare in mind I was young and thought the more surgery the better which isn't always the best idea. I'm lucky that he was able to make everything look very natural and subtle while still feminizing me. The only procedure I'm not completely satisfied with is the scar on my hairline from the advancement, but that is because the technique he used looks best when you get micro hair grafts to cover the scar and round off the temple area, he told me this prior to surgery and I will have it done one day. The scar is very faint now, the only time it bothers me is when I want to pull all my hair off my face, it doesn't look clocky or bald just sparse. I have my Cisgender sister and mother have the same problem with the hairline around the temples naturally scooping up for lack of a better term.
Overall I definitely think Cardenas is worth seriously considering, I referred many of my trans friends and associates to him and they are happy. When I have surgery for cosmetic purposes again I will definitely go back to him. I've had my eye on those hip implants he does for quite a long time.
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have

Dr. Cardenas was absolutely amazing! He made me feel very comfortable and safe in his care. He knew exactly what to do and answered every question and concern I had. I had a tummy tuck and a breast lift with augmentation. I highly recommend Dr. Cardenas and his team! I am so happy with my results and outcome. I had no complications. I would definitely go back to Dr. Cardenas for any future...
