And they’re finding all of it in Cancún, one of the fastest-growing and most trusted medical tourism destinations in the world.
But what procedures are most popular—and why?
At My Medical Vacations (MMV), we work with certified specialists and premier clinics in Cancún to deliver high-demand procedures across multiple specialties. Our data from 2024–2025 reveals clear trends, showing what patients are choosing, and what makes Cancún their preferred destination for safe, effective, and life-enhancing care.
Top 6 Most Requested Medical Procedures in Cancún (2025)
