Introduction: Why the Facelift is Making a Major Comeback
In 2025, more patients than ever are choosing to undergo facelift surgery—not to look “younger,” but to look like the best version of themselves. The goal has shifted from dramatic changes to natural, refreshed results that reflect how patients feel inside.
And where are they going for this transformation? More and more are traveling to Cancun, Mexico, where world-renowned surgeons, cutting-edge techniques, and five-star recovery experiences are changing the way people view cosmetic surgery.
At My Medical Vacations, we offer international patients the opportunity to receive expert facelift surgery from certified specialists in one of the most beautiful, peaceful recovery environments imaginable.
What Is a Facelift and Who Is It For?
Definition & Purpose
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens facial tissues, repositions fat, and removes excess skin—most commonly around the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
It is ideal for:
- Deep facial wrinkles
- Sagging jowls or double chin
- Drooping cheeks or nasolabial folds
- General facial aging that non-invasive procedures can’t address
Types of Facelifts Available in Cancun
Facelift surgery is not one-size-fits-all. At My Medical Vacations, we work with surgeons who personalize each approach based on facial structure, age, and skin condition.
Here are the most popular facelift techniques available:
| Facelift Type | Description |
| Mini Facelift | Less invasive, targets jawline and lower face |
| Full Facelift | Comprehensive lifting of cheeks, jaw, and neck |
| Deep Plane Facelift | Repositions underlying muscle and fat for longer-lasting, natural results |
| SMAS Facelift | Targets the superficial muscular aponeurotic system for improved facial contour |
| Facelift with Fat Grafting | Combines lifting with volume restoration for fuller, youthful look |
Why Choose Cancun for Your Facelift Surgery
1. Certified Surgeons Using Advanced Techniques
Our partner surgeons in Cancun are:
- Certified by the Mexican Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
- Internationally trained, with many having studied or practiced in the U.S., Brazil, or Europe
- Experts in deep plane and SMAS techniques, which offer more natural, longer-lasting outcomes
These are not just surgeons—they are facial artists focused on harmony, proportion, and elegance.
2. State-of-the-Art Surgical Facilities
Facelift procedures are performed in fully equipped surgical hospitals with:
- Accredited operating rooms
- Advanced anesthesia monitoring systems
- ICU access (as a safety backup)
- Strict sterilization and infection control standards
These facilities are equal to, or better than, many found in the U.S. or Canada.
3. Luxury Recovery in a Peaceful Setting
One of the biggest advantages of having a facelift in Cancun is the environment in which you recover:
- Private, tranquil recovery suites
- In-room nursing care and daily checkups
- Customized post-op meals and mobility support
- Surgeon-approved wellness activities, like sunset boat rides or cultural outings
Patients often say the healing process feels more like a healing retreat than a medical experience.
4. Significant Cost Savings Without Sacrificing Quality
A facelift in the United States can cost $15,000 to $25,000—sometimes more with hospital and anesthesia fees.
In Cancun, My Medical Vacations offers full facelift packages starting at $5,500–$7,500, including:
- Certified surgeon fees
- Operating room and anesthesia
- Pre- and post-op consultations
- Recovery accommodations
- Bilingual care coordination and ground transport
Transparent, all-inclusive pricing means you can plan with confidence and no surprises.
Realistic Recovery Timeline and Expectations
Facelift recovery doesn’t mean hiding indoors for weeks. Here’s a typical timeline with our support:
| Days Post-Surgery | What to Expect |
| Day 1–2 | Rest in your private suite, nursing care provided |
| Day 3–5 | Swelling and bruising peak, light walking encouraged |
| Day 6–7 | Stitches removed, visible swelling begins to reduce |
| Week 2 | Most patients resume light social activity |
| Weeks 3–4 | Final results begin to appear, swelling greatly reduced |
By Week 4, you’ll look more rested, contoured, and natural—not “done”.
What Makes Our Facelift Patients So Satisfied
Beyond the aesthetic improvement, patients report benefits such as:
- Boosted self-confidence in personal and professional life
- Less reliance on injectables or fillers
- Feeling more aligned with their inner energy and health
- Discreet transformation (friends say, “You look amazing!”—but can’t pinpoint why)
We receive regular messages from patients saying their only regret is not doing it sooner.
