When I first walked into Dr. Careaga'€™s office, my idea was to shop around and gather competitive quotes in order to make my decision on who would be performing my procedure. Once I met with the doctor he explained the procedure in detail and answered all of my questions. During his consultation, he demonstrated patience and knowledge. I then went on to meet with Lourdes, the director of operations who went over the cost and finance options. The warm welcome I received throughout my entire consultation made me feel so much at ease that I immediately decided I was not going to waste my time in shopping around and I signed the contract right then and there! I was beyond excited to have my surgery. I was literally counting down the days. On the day of my surgery, as I’m getting ready to go into the operating room, the doctor comes in and tells me that my sugar levels were very high and that he unfortunately could not perform the surgery until they had been regulated. I experienced complete devastation as I’m sue you can relate to anxiously awaiting something so badly, being so close to it and not getting it! This was a major step back for me since I had to go and see an endocrinologist, get on medication and begin to monitor my sugar levels very closely. Dr. Careaga advised that it would take at least 3 months to get my levels to where they needed to be in order to perform the surgery. The emotional support that I received from both Dr. Careaga and Lourdes throughout this time was remarkable. They would check in on me once a week to see how I was doing both physically and emotionally. This in itself was priceless for me. Although this has no relation to my surgery, I remember being at happy hour in the Gables one evening and receiving a message from Lourdes (clearly past office hours) to see how I was doing. I shared this with my friends and they were in awe at her attention to detail! I am incredibly proud to say that with determination and a strong mindset, I regulated my sugar levels within a month and was able to have my procedure. I could not be any happier. Dr. Careaga has demonstrated his professionalism in many ways. He is very meticulous and this is imperative when having any type of procedure done. Dr. Careaga's office staff is amazing and I will begin with Lourdes, the support that she extended to me was unbelievable. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have had. Lisandra, the surgical assistance was patient, very accommodating and understanding. Patty, the office manager, always has a smile on her face and is very efficient. Andrea who assists the doctor in consultations and handles the labs was very nice and also accommodating. Annette who takes extremely good care of you in the recovery room (this for me was crucial, as you want someone that treats you well and nurtures you during this time) was outstanding. Jenny, the therapist that does the lymphatic massages, is amazing! She is soft spoken, walks you through the massages and provides suggestions and advice on what to do and not to do after your procedure. I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Careaga'€™s office. I have authorized Lourdes to give my name and number to any patient that wishes to hear my story in full detail and wants or needs additional reassurance

Dr Careaga botched me. I waited one year and a half to write a review. In 2019, he did, TT, JPlasma on arms and inner thighs and one breast areola reduction. I can say that I am not happy with anything that he did. And the worst and sad part about it, is that he is aware of everything and he is not willing or had never offer to help me or do a revision. With the TT, he left extra loose skin after in the upper abdomen. My abdomen has never felt like it did before, I feel a chronic pain and is very uncomfortable. It feels that I have a hard ball on the right side with lots of pressure as if is pushing my bladder and it bulges out. On the thighs, he left 4 ugly scar incisions, two from the drains and two from the JPlasma, where you can see when wearing underwear, he didn’t even try to hide those incisions. He ruin one of my arms from JPlasma as well. He left me with extra wrinkle skin on the upper part of one arm. And last but not least, he ruin my areola. Enough reason for me to say that he botched me and of course he will never admit to it as most of these plastic surgeons think that they make no mistakes. All Dr Careaga knows what to say is to “wait”. That is his answer to everything. after I told him about all of these issues and he has seen it with his own eyes because I have pointed it out to him many times and ask him questions, he just looks at me like if I am crazy. He is very arrogant and shows no mercy and even worst, doesn’t even offer to help.
I’ve had been going to other surgeons for help and they are actually helping me even though they didn’t perform my surgery. One doctor send me to get a CT scan done and another one is requesting a copy of the CT scan CD, so he can take a look of what it is going inside.
I will NEVER recommend this doctor that even to my worst enemy. If you had surgery with him and everything came out good, I am happy for you. But if you had a problem, good luck because he will not help you. Now I have other doctors trying to help fix me everything that he did wrong.

On December 2nd, I had liposuction with Dr. Careaga, as a way to get back my old figure. My experience started with a great reference and several awesome testimonials online. I knew Dr. Careaga was good, but I really had no idea how good until I got into the office. Right away, he seemed to create a trusting relationship with me, which is one thing I was looking for in a provider. When it is all said and done, however, everything comes down to results. I am completely satisfied with Dr. Careaga’s work. I love how I look and feel since my liposuction procedure. My advice is that any woman who is looking at this type of body contouring procedure needs to go with the right doctor. That surgeon is Dr. Careaga.

Los resultados de mi Tummy Tuck con el Dr. Careaga han superado mis espectativas. Hace un ano me relice un Tummy Tuck con otro doctor en otro pais y los resultados no fueron los que esperaba. Gracias a una de mis paciente conoci al Dr. Careaga e inmediatamente supe que el era el doctor que necesitaba para arreglarme la cirugia que me habian hecho mal. El Dr. Careaga es super profesional, te cuentas las cosas sin rodeos y su staff es super amable y dispuesto a yudarte en lo que necesitas.

I had a 2 procedure's done with Dr. Careaga and I'm extremely satisfied and happy with my results. One of the procedure that I had done was the Cellulaze (remove cellulite) on both of my thighs. I had some discomfort / pain after for approximately 1 week. I was amazed when I saw my legs for the first time after the surgery. I would say that approximately 90% of my cellulite was gone. Dr. Careaga told me, that I can expect to see more results. I would highly recommend this procedure.
My 2nd procedure was a breast reduction. I'm happy and amazed what a great job Dr. Careaga did. My breast look perky and nice. It has been almost 3 months since I had these procedures and I have had no medical issues or any complaints. The staff as well are very professional and friendly. The medical assistants take the time to help you and answer any questions that you may have. They are also very sensitive with you. Dr. Careaga, is a doctor that loves what he does and he shows it by taking the time to explain every detail about the procedure that he will be performing on you. You can ask him as many questions that you want, that he will never get upset or frustrated with you.

Dr. Careaga is by far the absolute best plastic surgeon in Miami... in the entire state of Florida. He performed my tummy tuck and my results are phenomenal. He is extremely talented, and very gifted with his hands. Dr. Careaga and his staff are friendly and attentive and they are there for you every step of the way from the very beginning and they are dedicated to providing excellent service and maintaining a relationship with you well after your procedure. This has definitely been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He’s also going to perform my Brazilian Butt Lift and I’m so excited and looking forward to the new and improved me! Thank you Dr. Careaga... you are truly amazing!!!
