Dr. Magda Peralta has fulfilled the requirements of law as a Dentist and Maxillofacial surgeon of the Costa Rican College of Dental Surgeons, of which she is member since 2003.

I had an abdominoplasty in Costa Rica seven months ago by a Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Gabriel Peralta, which was a superb experience.
Dr. Peralta sat with for an hour and a half explaining the difference between a liposuction, an abdominoplasty and the possible outcome on each procedure. He was in no hurry, he took his time to respond to all my questions, even went further to show me pictures of previous patients and open up a file with all my personal information, all the drawings and his suggestions to which one was more appropriate for me. He was the fourth doctor that I visited regarding this procedure and the only who took the time to explain it and clarify the pros and cons on it.
I contacted Dr. Peralta two months later to discuss further inquires and to schedule an appointment for surgery on September 19, 2006. He requested several medical tests before the surgery for medical clearance.
The day before the surgery, I went to his clinic for the final details. He took “the before” pictures, measured me and marked all the points where the incision would be done, also gave me instructions to follow the night before the surgery.
The following morning at 6 a.m. Mrs. Amelia, the sweetest and most special nurse I had ever met, took me to my room, helped me undress and got me ready for surgery, she stood by my side and whole time. When I woke from the surgery I was in recuperation where Dr. Peralta and the nurse were adjusting the girdle that I had to wear.
Approximately 6 lbs. of skin and fat were removed from my stomach, also got rid of my appendix scar and made me a perfect belly button. Everything went so smooth that I did not feel any pain or discomfort. Ms. Meli took me to my room, helped me to dress and got me ready to go home.
The following two and a half weeks Dr. Peralta and his staff were in contact with me on a daily basis. Dr. Peralta requested that I visit the clinic almost every other day to check the incision, to clean my drainage and to make sure the skin was healing properly. He also gave me prescriptions for pain killers; antibiotics and a girdle that I had to wear for support. A week later he took my drainage out and the stitches were removed the following week. I went back for a final check up and “the after” pictures on October 12th. My recuperation at home was very easy and my scar healed perfectly and quickly.
Dr. Peralta and his staff me my expectations at every level. His professionalism and caring from beginning to end was excellent. He made me feel very secure and relaxed at all times. The staff at the Clinic took care of all the spoiling and caring; there was no day that I did not receive attention from them. It is been 7 months and my scar is almost gone, I have a flat tummy with hardly any scars and I look awesome.

Thank you Dr. Peralta.

I had heard of your excellent work and now I would recommend your services to anyone who is seeking this type surgery.

God Bless you and your staff. br Peggy Foster, Arkansas, U.S.A
