Why Consider Rhinoplasty in Mexico?

Getting a nose job in Mexico is not as scary as it might sound. So long as you know where to look, you'll find that the country is home to world-class surgeons who practice in modern medical facilities on par with those back home. 

Mexico has its fair share of internationally accredited hospitals, including the highly regarded Joint Commission International. With ambulatory care facilities–which include consultations and treatments using advanced medical technology delivered on an outpatient basis–Mexico’s private healthcare facilities offer some of the best value for money anywhere in the world.

Similarly, physicians in Mexico's best hospitals and clinics are just as likely to be as skilled and qualified as they are in the United States–and cross-border training means that Mexican doctors have often trained in the U.S. with memberships on American surgical boards.

Where to Go in Mexico? How Do I Book?


Mexico is a vast country, with a range of diverse destinations that offer the chance to combine surgery with a pre-procedure holiday. These include popular beach resorts such as Cancun on the east (Caribbean) coast, or Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas on the west (Pacific) coast. Mexico City, the capital, is home to some of the best facilities in the country and easily reachable from all major North American cities, while many patients choose to simply drive over the southern border into border towns, like Tijuana and Mexicali. 

We always recommend conducting research on your clinic and preferred destination, which to some extent, can be achieved with general searches online. However, using a reputable booking site such as Medical Departures helps make this process easier. more reliable and more secure. You can book safe in the knowledge that we have background-checked all of the clinics, hospitals and surgeons listed on our site. This includes:

  • Searching criminal/legal records

  • Verifying doctor and surgeon qualifications
  • Confirming professional memberships

How Long Does a Rhinoplasty Procedure Take? What's Involved?


Rhinoplasty surgery is unique to each different patient; for example, the steps to correct a broken nose are different from the steps needed to remove a bulbous tip from the end of a nose. 

Surgery can take from one to five or more hours, depending upon the complexity of your case. You and your specialist will consult about the various techniques and options, based on your condition and desires.

We had a great experience, our doctor Oray Karaçaylı is extremely professional. Thanks to his trust and warm approach, my daughter did not experience any problems before and after the surgery. The nurses on duty were also very attentive and caring. There were only no consumables in our room, we got soap and paper after a 3-hour wait.

Dear Professor Cenk Ersavaş, I cannot thank you enough for the abscess drainage surgery I had on February 11th. As someone who had previously undergone an unsuccessful operation and an unnecessary intervention, I was worried when I came to you. However, I reached out to you by trusting the comments on the internet and I understood very clearly how right I was during and after the surgery. You are not only an excellent surgeon, but also a sincere and trustworthy person who approaches his patients like a brother, who is always accessible. I am 40 years old and I have never met such a doctor before. I feel very lucky to have met you. Brother Cenk, thank you so much for everything! I am so glad you exist, I am so glad I got to know you.

My doctor is a cardiologist, Güçlü. I was very pleased with him and his team. May they not suffer. Best regards.

All the doctors are very good and egoless. They do not look down on people and speak with attitude. The dialogue between the doctors is also very good and they successfully produced a solution to a complicated situation together. The nurses and the desk clerks are very cheerful. We slept on the second floor. The floors and rooms are clean and the food is very good. If you have any health problems, first go to a Memorial Ataşehir.

I gave birth there too, 5 years later we went to Dr. Bülent Karadağ for my daughter's allergies... We were very, very pleased... He listened in detail and found a solution.
