Synced from Google. The clinic cannot edit or remove reviews here.I am writing this review more than a year after my surgery with Dr. Carlos Zuleta because of an experience I recently had with his Instagram page. Before surgery, I met with Dr. Zuleta for consultations, markings, and brief post-operative appointments. I had explained very clearly what I wanted to improve after two pregnancies: loss of abdominal elasticity, specific contouring concerns, and a more athletic appearance. I was told I was a great candidate for J-Plasma skin tightening, along with liposuction and breast implant revision. I also explained in detail the breast shape and reduction I wanted. Since I needed a new implant pocket created, I understood this would require more extensive surgical work. Unfortunately, my results were very disappointing. While some liposuction was done, the contouring lacked the precision and attention that a thinner patient often needs to achieve refined results. Important areas I specifically discussed were not addressed. The breast implant exchange also did not produce the change I requested because, in my opinion, the implant pocket was not properly revised. What was most upsetting is that the results on each side of my body appear noticeably different, almost as if two different surgeons worked on me. I followed every instruction carefully. I stayed in Colombia for a month after surgery, paid for additional massages, purchased all recommended recovery items, and invested a significant amount of money into this procedure — more than I would have paid with an experienced surgeon in the United States. The reason I finally decided to write this review is because I commented respectfully on one of Dr. Zuleta’s Instagram posts regarding the skin-tightening technology he promotes. I simply shared that, in my personal experience, it did not work for me and mentioned my post-pregnancy concerns. My comment was deleted, and I was blocked from the page. That experience made me reflect on how much I relied on social media while researching this surgeon. Looking back, I now question whether only positive outcomes are allowed to remain visible online. My advice to anyone considering cosmetic surgery is: Please do thorough research beyond Instagram, ask detailed questions, seek multiple opinions, and make sure reviews reflect both positive and negative experiences. I hope this helps
Got my second liposuction done with Dr. Carlos Zuleta Bechara and it was the best decision I have made! With plenty of surgeons in Miami I still felt like I needed to search elsewhere even if it required traveling. I was looking for a doctor that actually had bedside manner and somewhere I felt safe, not a butcher shop. I came across Dr. Zuleta’s page on social media and also got recommended by a friend previously operated by him. At first I hesitated because the cost was more than I was looking to pay so I held off on the idea of getting surgery for a bit. I continued to see photos of his results and was fascinated at how natural and beautiful his work was so I finally gave in. I reached out to the coordinator Jenniffer once again and she was so helpful. She made my process super smooth. My surgery results exceeded my expectations! Dr. Zuleta is such a kind soul and really listens to what you want. The entire team is amazing. They make you feel right at home. They also schedule you for your month follow up even if you are back home. It gets done by video with Dr. Tatiana which is also amazing. If you want a surgeon that makes you feel safe and gives you peace of mind, Dr.Carlos Zuleta is it! Plus, you get to explore the beauty of Colombia while you’re at it!
I had a breast lift and reduction with this doctor one year ago and until today he has never follow up and talked to me on how I was doing after my surgery. Imagine never followed up with me ! I’m very disappointed after I paid 5,000 + for a surgery that I’m not completely satisfied with the results. Save your money there are plenty of good doctors that are much better ! Este doctor doctor no lo recomiendo, el Jamas después de la cirugía me hizo seguimiento me hize un levantamiento y reducción y no quede con los resultados que esperaba. Hay mejores doctores asi que no gasten su tiempo ni dinero.
I came to see Dr Zuleta for the natural look. Everything was planned a few months in advance since I live in another country. I was constantly in touch with his staff during the whole time prior to the surgery and they explained everything related to the procedure as well as all my doubts and concerns. Three days prior the surgery, I arrived to Dr zuleta’s office for our encounter in person before the procedure. He was very professional and also very nice as well as the whole staff. It has been almost 2 weeks after the surgery and I have to say that I am very pleased with what I see so far. Post surgery care is crucial. I was able to have a nurse from Dr Zuleta’s staff for about 10 days and it has been the best decision I made. Dr CZB and the whole staff were and still are very attentive at all times. My nurse and my masseuse took a really good care of me. They had a deep genuine concern for me as a patient and provided Outstanding customer service with professionalism like no other. From the lady who made the coffee to the front desk agents, to the accountants, doctors, nurses to the doctor himself I must say to all of them Thank you because you made me feel at home and safe at all times. Now I have to keep following the doctors orders so I will look great. It is up to me now because He already did his magic. Thank you Dr Zuleta, Dra Tatiana, Jennifer, Sandra, Marta, Nataly, Karina (por el cafecito) , Maria Beatriz, Ana Maria ( for the amazing massages) and to my amazing nurse Andrea. I’m leaving with a great body but also with a great experience from this amazing group of people. Gracias.
Lo peor ! This is the worst experience of my life. He charged me 10k for a lipo and jplasma I paid the money and after my surgery I noticed he removed part of my glutes that I had told him not to touch. I asked him if he had in-fact done my arms, stomach, back he said yes I told him I didn’t feel like he had and he asked me for 6 months to see results. On the 1 month I was already back home and asked him for a follow up he made me beg for it because he was always busy finally he gave me the virtual appointment. I told him I saw no difference he said I was swollen. 2 months follow up same trouble to speak with him, no difference he said it was normal. It’s been 6 months, no difference I’m still the same way as I went into surgery , I keep asking him for a follow up and he is always busy for it. Do not waste your money he is a fraud.
