Dr. Suarez made me feel very comfortable and took the time to answer all my questions. His assistant, Dr. Gabriela Solano, works closely with the doctor and is a great asset. They made sure I had contact information for both of them and answered my emails promptly. I felt confident and understood the procedure before having surgery. The follow up care has been good and I look forward to enjoying my new comfort and appearance. I would recommend Dr. Suarez and Dr. Solano to anyone who is interested and I am glad I made the decision to use them as my physicians.

As a NYC makeup artist, working with film stars and models, my standards were high for finding the right cosmetic surgeon. I had consultations with several surgeons prior to relocating to Costa Rica for the winter season. After one meeting with Dr. Suarez, I was drawn to his personal approach and focus to my specific needs. I felt I was in capable hands. He was very creative and knowledgeable of all the latest techniques. This was very important to me. My great surprise was how comfortable I was with the actual procedure. The doctor went along with my holistic approach to healing. My recovery was heightened by relaxing in beautiful Costa Rica with the full support of Dr. Suarez's lovely staff to guide me. I now have the perfect youthful body to go with my new lifestyle. Thanks to Dr. Suarez's insight and sculpting skills the final results went way beyond my expectations. I couldn't be more delighted!!

I have had several procedures by Dr. Suarez and his team - all of them successful. I recommend too highly. Him and his team are not only competant but they are personable, always willing to listen and they are all bilingual. I would return to Costa Rica for any further procedures, should I need any, rather than have anything done here in the States.

I had my facelift 4 months ago. Now that I had it done would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY!!! I feel and look better than I ever have. There was no pain and only slight discomfort. Both Dr Suarez and Dr Solano are 2 of the most caring doctors I have ever met. They made me feel like I was the most important and only patient. My phone calls and e-mails were always returned and they just were always there for me and still are.


Wanda Weber

Dear Doctors Suarez and Salano, It was such a joy to have you both walk me through my face lift. From the very first E-Mail enquiring about the surgery to the last one detailing the appointment, I found you prompt, informative and extremely kind. When I met you both, it verified what I felt all along. When I look at myself in the mirror now, I say "hello, where have YOU been for the last 10 to 15 years? Glad to have you back"!!!! Seriously, I am thrilled with the job you did. As I talked with the other girls who stayed at the Villa Plenitud with me during the recovery period, I realized that each face calls for something a bit different according to the structure and you show your expertise and skill in each face. Thank You so very much, and may God Bless You


Nancy

My name is Nancy Riley and at age 64, I started my research for a “younger looking” me. I spent nearly two years talking to “facelift clients” for recommendations for the best surgeon in Costa Rica. I quickly learned that Costa Rica has the reputation as “Hollywood South” for those wishing to have cosmetic surgery. The quality of cosmetic surgery in Costa Rica is highly rated. My facelift procedure research indicated that the difference between a good and a great surgeon might not be seen for nearly seven years. My surgery was at the CIMA Hospital, which is rated as one of the best hospitals in the world outside of the USA. My care was first class, before and after the procedure. I chose the team of Dr. Oscar Suarez. Dr. Suarez is not only a great surgeon, but he is also a great communicator. I was guided through the process and I knew exactly what to expect before and after the procedure… no surprises. I cannot recommend a surgeon more highly than Dr. Suarez. Now, I not only feel great, I look great. A “million thanks” to the team of Dr. Suarez!

About San Jose, Costa Rica

San Jose, Costa RicaSan José is the capital and largest city of Costa Rica, and is at the heart of Gran Area Metropolitana or GAM, located in the Central Valley. San José is the seat of national government, the focal point of political and economic activity, and the major transportation hub of this Central American nation.

Founded in 1738, San José is one of the youngest capital cities in Latin America by year of conception, though it was not named capital until 1823. Nowadays it's a modern city with bustling commerce, brisk expressions of art and architecture, and spurred by the country's improved tourism industry, it is also a significant destination and stopover for foreign visitors.

Officially, the city's current population is of 346,799, this population corresponds to the San José Canton, the first of the twenty administrative units in San José Province, though the metropolitan area stretches beyond the canton limits and comprises a third of the country's population. Besides, San José exerts a strong influence on a wider range because of its proximity to minor cities (Alajuela, Heredia and Cartago) and the country's demographic assemblage in the Central Valley.

The city lies at a mean elevation of 1,161 m above sea level, and enjoys a stable climate throughout the year, with an average temperature of 23C (73F) and annual precipitation of 1800 mm, more than 90% of it falling in the rainy season from May to November.

The University of Costa Rica was established in 1843, at that time with the name of University of Santo Tomás. San José also serves as the headquarters of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The city is served by Juan Santamaría International Airport, 23 km west of downtown, in the city of Alajuela.
