Dr. Careaga and his team have been great throughout this whole process. I came in for implants and lift and Dr. Careaga was very well informed for my case and my interest in the motiva implants with an internal bra. I have a very small frame and I wanted something proportional to my body that was as natural as possible. I am three months post op and I am super happy with the results. They look very natural and even though I needed the full anchor, my scarring is minimal. Everyone was extremely attentive to any questions or concerns that I had and quick to respond and get an appointment both pre and post op. I can not recommend Dr. Careaga and his team enough.

I recommend Dr.Careaga and his staff at Careaga Plastic Surgery in Coral Gables. Dr.Careaga is a very skilled surgeon. He performed a lift with implant exchange. My results are very natural and the scars are barely noticeable at 3 months post op. I’m excited for how it will look as I continue to heal. When I met Dr.Careaga he was patient and answered all my questions. The morning of my surgery, his team treated me like I was family. Although I was having anxiety, I felt very cared for by his team. After my surgery a nurse stayed beside me and took care of me as I recovered from the anesthesia. Dr.Careaga scheduled several follow up appointments for me so that he could monitor my healing. Every encounter has been very professional and reassuring as the healing process continues. Don’t hesitate to book a consultation for all your needs. Dr.Careaga truly cares for his patients.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Careaga. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen, heard, and cared for. He is patient, honest, and incredibly skilled. My results look natural, beautiful, and exactly what I hoped for. His staff is just as wonderful especially Cindy, attentive, kind, and always available to answer questions. If you’re looking for a surgeon who truly cares about your confidence, safety, and well-being, Dr. Careaga is the one. Highly, highly recommended... 🫶🏿

I had eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery with Dr. Ramos after my car accident, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and supportive. Dr. Ramos is truly exceptional — compassionate, detail-oriented, and highly skilled. The entire experience was smooth, and the results exceeded my expectations. Everything about this practice is top-notch. I highly recommend Dr. Ramos and the entire team!

I had an amazing experience with Dr William, I am now 7 weeks post op with my breast augmentation and I really love my results. Although I did experience a complication shortly after surgery Dr William took care of it immediately. He and the staff were very kind and I genuinely felt in safe hands the entire time. I am very grateful
