Why Undergo Facial Rejuvenation in Mexico City?

Mexico City is the most populated city in North America and is considered one of the most important financial centers in the Americas. As such, it provides a vast range of products and services to a global market from its spectacular backdrop of volcanic, mountainous terrain.

Facial rejuvenation generally involves a combination of treatments that can total a hefty bill. To maximize your spending power, you can save over 50% on most cosmetic procedures by traveling to Mexico City compared to what you would pay in the United States or Canada, particularly if you're seeking multiple treatments.

In recent years, Mexico City has been the beneficiary of huge investments in Mexico’s medical infrastructure. This has resulted in many hospitals now being equipped with the very latest technologies and staffed by internationally trained experts, many of whom have studied in the US and can deliver the same levels of expertise and professionalism that you would expect to find domestically.

Mexico is rapidly gaining a worldwide reputation as a leader in the field of medical tourism, and its capital is at the forefront of delivering top-quality treatments at a fraction of the price that you would be charged back home. That said, you should thoroughly research any prospective surgeon's and clinic's credentials to ascertain their suitability before you book your treatment. This should include looking at their memberships or affiliations with esteemed professional organizations, such as the American Board of Surgeons or ISAPS.

At Medical Departures, we provide you free access to reputable doctors and hospitals on our site. We perform an extensive range of background checks that include verifying professional memberships and staff qualifications, and we also carry out personal site visits, take photographs of the facilities and collate authentic patient feedback. We make all of this information available to you on our website to help you make an informed decision as to which doctor or clinic is the best fit for you.

Facial rejuvenation is a specific process, unique to each individual. You will need a full consultation with your surgeon to ascertain which combination of treatments will help you achieve your desired outcome.

Non-surgical treatments can have a varying recovery period which can range from a few hours up to as long as a whole week. For surgical procedures, it is worth taking into consideration the following:

-You should be prepared for a much longer downtime period after surgery as you will experience a degree of bruising, swelling, and discomfort that can be present for a couple of weeks. 

-You should avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks in order to aid the healing process.

-It could take as long as six months before your face has totally recovered from your operation.

-If you are planning on having any other non-surgical treatments, then you need to prepare yourself for a lengthy wait in between procedures.

The price of your facial rejuvenation treatment will depend on which, and how many, treatments you decide to undergo.

As a rule of thumb, if you undergo a full facelift and have some non-surgical treatments carried out, you should expect to pay a minimum of USD $20,000 (AUD $26,500; CAD $26,500; GBP £16,000; Euros 18,000) in the United States. This is compared to Mexico City, where the same treatment will be in the region of USD $10,000 (AUD $13,250; CAD $13,250; GBP £8,000; Euros 9,000).
