About Dr. Jose Cortes

Dr. Jose Cortes is a plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in Mexico City, serving patients seeking facial surgery, body contouring, breast surgery, selected reconstructive procedures, and non-surgical aesthetic treatments. The clinic is associated with Dr. José Cortés Arreguín, a surgeon trained at the University of Guadalajara with specialty training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, along with additional study in facial and body aesthetic surgery and craniofacial surgery.

Available treatments include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facial liposuction, chin surgery, breast procedures, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck surgery, arm lift surgery, labiaplasty, male breast reduction, and selected reconstructive procedures such as cleft lip and palate treatment, burn surgery, and reconstruction after disease or injury. Non-surgical options listed include Botox, fillers, and chemical peels.

For international patients, the setting may suit those who want consultation and surgery in Mexico City rather than a border destination. The clinic also lists practical amenities such as free exam, free Wi-Fi, free water, wheelchair access, and complimentary ground transportation to the airport.

 

Medical Team

 

Care is led by Dr. José Cortés Arreguín, whose profile lists 11 years of practice. His professional memberships include the Mexican Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics and Science, the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery, and the Association of Residents and Former Residents of Fernando Ortiz Monasterio.

English- and Spanish-speaking care is available. Based on the broader institute presence in Polanco, patients may also find access to related aesthetic and recovery support services, but the core surgeon profile highlighted here is Dr. Cortés.

 

Treatments and Patient Experience

 

The clinic’s treatment mix covers both cosmetic and reconstructive work. Facial procedures include rhinoplasty, facelift procedures, neck lift, otoplasty, lip augmentation, brow lift, chin contouring, facial rejuvenation, and upper and lower blepharoplasty. Body procedures include tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, arm lift surgery, Brazilian butt lift, butt lift, butt implants, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and mommy makeover surgery. There are also options for labiaplasty and gynecomastia surgery.

This range can be helpful for patients comparing more than one procedure during the same trip, especially for body contouring or combined cosmetic planning. Non-surgical treatments such as injectables and peels may also appeal to patients looking for a less invasive option or maintenance treatment.

From a practical standpoint, Mexico City offers a large hospital and hotel ecosystem, but it is also a busy, high-traffic city. Patients should plan recovery days carefully, confirm where surgery takes place, and ask in advance about follow-up visits, compression garments, medications, and transport after surgery. For procedures that require several days in the city, choosing accommodation close to Polanco or Granada can make recovery logistics easier.

 

Location


The clinic is in the Miguel Hidalgo area of Mexico City at Avenida Ejército Nacional 453, Piso 15, Colonia Granada, CP 11520, in the Latitud Polanco area. This puts it near Polanco, a well-known district with hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, shopping, and private medical services nearby.

For arriving patients, Benito Juárez International Airport is the main airport for Mexico City. Reaching the Polanco area by car can be fairly quick in light traffic, but travel time often increases during peak hours. Because traffic can change significantly, many patients choose to arrive with extra time for consultations and follow-up visits.

 

Hours, Languages, and Practical Details
 

Clinic hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, and closed on Sunday. Languages spoken are English and Spanish. Accepted payment methods listed are Visa, Mastercard, American Express, bank transfer, and PayPal.

Patients who value convenience may appreciate the practical extras listed by the clinic, including airport ground transportation, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair accessibility. As with any surgical trip, it is sensible to confirm who will provide aftercare, whether a companion is recommended, and how many in-person follow-up checks are expected before flying home.

Undoubtedly the best possible experience. I did not hesitate for a second to cross the Atlantic from Spain just to have surgery with Dr. Cortes. From the first minute I contacted Claudia, I knew it was the right choice, not only because of the international reputation of the doctor and his awards but also because of his personal treatment, as well as the whole team. Thanks to the experience and skill of the doctor my ultrasonic rhinoplasty has been a success and the result, totally spectacular. My case was somewhat complicated by a previous septoplasty, and with breathing problems. The doctor made a totally harmonious design for my face and completely functional, I breathe better than ever and my nose looks perfect. If you are hesitating, do not hesitate and ask for an evaluation now, you will see for yourself why Dr. Jose Cortes is the best option for your case. Pd: Thank you very much to the whole team, especially Salma and Clau besides the doctor who were with me both pre and post surgery giving excellent support and treatment.

I had a very wide nose and I had never liked it. I was looking for a long time for a plastic surgeon specialized in noses of this type, but I could not find someone who convinced me and gave me the confidence to achieve what I was looking for. Dr. Jose Cortes was definitely the best choice and 100% highly recommended. since I called to ask for information everything was super personalized, warmth, they explained to me in detail, and not to mention in the assessment consultation that was definitely when I was convinced that he should be my surgeon. The hospital, the staff, the whole group of nurses very friendly, all with a smile and you can see that they love what they do. I am very grateful for the results I got and thanks to Dr. Jose Cortes for making something a reality that I was looking for so many years. it was really worth it!!! and the best thing a quick recovery, no bruises and no pain!
