Sonja: age 43 Because of my excess weight I could not enjoy life the way normal people do. I couldn't play sports, I felt uncomfortable on an airplane or at the movies in my seat, and even a short walk would leave me out of breath. After years of living like this, it began affecting my health. My cholesterol and heart pressure were so high that loosing weight suddenly became a top priority in my life. I looked into several procedures that would help me attain my goal and I decided to go with gastric by-pass surgery. This helped me lose 135lbs pounds. The weight was gone but I had a huge amount of excess skin. Yes, I was skinnier, but no clothes fit right. That is when a friend that had gone through the same thing recommended Dr. Quiroz to help me reshape my body. After having a Lower Body Lift and Brazilian Butt Lift, I was transformed into a complete new person.People do not recognize me in the street. They can't believe it, but more importantly, I can't believe how good I feel. I will always be grateful to Dr. Quiroz, he is my "Magic Man." I never thought a stomach could get be so flat; never thought mine would. I can tie my shoes, walk comfortably and do all kinds of things I had given up on. I never thought I would ever be able to wear a bathing suit and look good in it. My quality of life has been enhanced in every way: my health, my comfort, my self-esteem, everything. Losing the battle of obesity is an amazing accomplishment that should leave you feeling absolutely great about your body. Besides the obvious appearance changes, restoring your body to a healthy weight comes with many health benefits that can dramatically change your life.

Pamela: age 53 Idecided to loose weight because I came to a point where I realized I would be in a wheel chair, or dead, if I didn't do something. I was on 7 different medications and I was depressed. I couldn't, have a regular day with my husband, play with my grandchildren, or do anything that required any kind of strength. All I could do is sitting all day in my old recliner. I decided to have weight loss surgery. I managed to lose 198 lbs, which made me very proud, but the downside was that the sudden weight-loss left a lot of hanging skin on my face and my stomach. My arms had 8 inches of skin hanging, my stomach felt like a big apron. The hanging skin on my face made me look years older. Plastic Surgery was the only solution for me. I visited COSMED after doing some research on the internet alongside a friend and co-worker. We drove down to have a first consultation and were very impressed with Dr. Quiroz and Doctor Fuentes. The whole staff at COSMED were wonderful and helpful. Both my friend and I, got work done with excellent results. We refer a lot of people in our friends (support groups) to COSMED. Being obese doesn't mean that you have no options. At Cosmed, we are experts in completing the successful procedures that can restore your self-confidence and body image.

Dana: age 36 When I was overweight, I only watched like others enjoyed themselves and couldn't participate in any physical activity. Beside that, being diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 30 and suffering from very high blood pressure pushed me to loose the weight. I managed to loose up to 100 lbs alone but gained them back, I knew I could do it, but needed help. That's when I decided to have Gastric By-pass surgery and I lost 198lbs. Health-wise I felt much, much better after the surgery but could not say the same for my self-image. I had a tremendous excess of skin all over my body following the weight-loss, and was very conscious of it. I started to research on the internet about weight loss surgery and found COSMED and Dr. Quiroz. A friend, and I went to our first consultation, and I was so impressed with COSMED. As a clinic, the facilities were impeccable, and the staff very helpful and professional, but most importantly: Dr. Quiroz willingness to answer any questions and his kind treatment convinced me to have the surgery the next week. The surgeries I had were a little painful and the extended recoveries were uncomfortable, but when I look at myself today, I feel I would do it all over again. |

Carolyn: age 62 For years I struggled with my weight, but when I was diagnosed with diabetes, loosing weight became a must in my life. After talking to various doctors I decided to have Lap-Band Surgery, and lost 103 lbs. I was very happy that the weight was gone, but I didn't imagine the excess skin all over my body would be hanging. I needed plastic surgery, and while I was doing the research, someone recommended COSMED. Dr. Quiroz, apart from being an excellent surgeon, was very kind and understanding. I have had several procedures now: first the face lift, and neck lift, which made me look years younger. Then the complete Body lift: (butt lift, liposuction and arm lift). After all the work I had done, people couldn't even recognize me. My daughter lives in another state, and she was amazed and happy to see the wonderful transformation I had. I told her about how I'd found a great doctor, and she said that it looked more like I found the fountain of youth. She said it looked more like I had lost years, not pounds. |

"It's been a little over a year since I had my facelift and I have not regretted it for one minute. I just finished an Estheticians course at Bellus Academy and I'm going for my California State Board Exam next week. I am a Cosmetology Instructor with Bellus Academy so had the privilege of graduating with some of my cosmo students! Everyone commented on how young I look...people are always amazed when I tell them I'm 68! They ask "what is your secret to the fountain of youth?"...and I just say....Dr. Alejandro Quiroz!" - Roberta Archer
"Dr. Castaneda performed my extended abdominoplasty three weeks ago. Finally I have a flat stomach again! Excellent surgeon, excellent service, uniquely modern facilities. Joyce and support staff make the entire process from start to end easy. The price was much lower than all of the LA/Beverly Hills plastic surgeons and the support is much better than the LA clinics. I researched four other high-end surgeons and facilities in Los Angeles/Beverly Hills area before deciding to book with Dr. Castaneda and Cosmed. Definitely Cosmed Clinic is a great choice and I am very happy with the result. Also the recovery boutique is uniquely fantastic -- like a five star hotel with 24/7 nursing care, cook to order meals and since the surgeon's office is in the same building he follows -up daily during recovery. I strongly recommend Dr. Castaneda, Cosmed, and the Recovery Boutique." - Marc Hornbeek "My surgery experience at Cosmed far exceeded my expectations and that doesn't happen too often. My son who can be a little snobbish thinks the Doctors should change the name to Cosmed Medical Resort. I agree! A resort was certainly my experience from the minute I arrived. There was not one Doctor and or staff that didn't make to me feel like I was their only patient. I miss my peeps! Love you all for your support." - D.
