Common Concerns or Criticisms
While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some recurring issues do appear in a minority of reviews:

• Complications & Follow-Up: A handful of patients report post-surgery complications—including infections and hospitalizations once home—and felt that Pompeii was slow or unresponsive when they sought additional help or records.
• Communication Gaps: Some mention difficulty with scheduling, inconsistent price quotes, or having trouble connecting with coordinators. A few say they received minimal instructions and support once they left Mexico.
• Variable Rooming Arrangements: A few mention being placed in shared rooms or having companions sleep on uncomfortable couches or futons.
• Concerns About Plastic Surgery Services: Some reviewers who had plastic surgery or revisions allege unsatisfactory outcomes and difficulty getting follow-up or corrective procedures scheduled.
