Buccal Fat Extraction in Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico
About the clinic
Buccal fat extraction at Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico in Mexico City may cost around $2,200 in an all-inclusive package. The clinic is a CSG-accredited surgical center, with CMCPER-certified surgeons and a two-surgeon safety protocol.
How the 30-minute procedure works
The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth, opposite the upper second molar. This leaves no external scar. Under local anesthesia with light sedation, the surgeon removes only the herniating part of the buccal fat pad.
The planned removal is 2–4 mL per side. Absorbable stitches close the incision, and no overnight hospital stay is required. Conservative removal aims to reduce lower-cheek fullness while preserving facial volume.
What the $2,200 package includes
- Bilateral buccal fat removal, anesthesia, surgical fees, facility use, supplies, and medication during surgery.
- Three hotel nights near the clinic and local airport, hotel, and clinic transportation.
- Pre- and post-operative consultations, plus six months of remote follow-up.
- A bilingual assistant during the stay and daily video follow-up with a doctor during the first week.
- Antiseptic mouthwash for post-operative care.
International flights, travel insurance, and pre-operative blood tests are not included.
Recovery and candidacy
Adults aged 20–45 with persistent lower-cheek fullness despite a slim weight may be candidates. The procedure is not recommended for narrow faces or signs of ageing.
Patients can usually return to social activities in 3–5 days. Mild swelling may last 1–2 weeks, while the final result can take 3–6 months to appear.
After surgery, patients follow a soft diet and use antiseptic mouthwash four times daily for two weeks. Hot and spicy foods should be avoided during recovery.
Possible risks include removing too much fat, injury to Stensen’s duct, and general surgical risks. Buccal fat removal is sometimes paired with rhinoplasty, a lip lift, chin implant, or masseter Botox.

Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico: more details about the clinic
Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico is a private plastic surgery program in the Roma Norte neighborhood of Mexico City. The center opened in 2012 and coordinates high-standard surgical care for international patients. It works only in accredited private hospitals with full intensive care units and emergency services. This means every procedure meets strict safety standards before, during, and after surgery.
Key Achievements and Standards
The program has served international patients for over a decade. Its surgeons are CMCPER-certified, the Mexican equivalent of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. They are active members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) counts them as members too. Together, the team has performed more than 7,000 plastic surgery procedures. Each surgeon brings 15 to 30 years of clinical experience.
Every surgery follows the clinic's Operating Room Safety Protocol. The team for each operation includes:
- Two board-certified plastic surgeons (one lead and one assisting)
- One dedicated anesthesiologist assigned exclusively to the patient
- Four surgical nurses managing instruments and monitoring
- One attending nurse supporting the anesthesiologist
The clinic's infection rate is below 0.4%. To lower risk further, total operating time never exceeds 7 hours, even with combined procedures. Surgeons follow WHO surgical safety checklists. All materials, including implants and sutures, are traceable and FDA-approved or CE-marked.
Specialties and Procedures
Treatments cover both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The main focus areas are facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and breast surgery. Every major procedure includes 7 to 15 days of medical supervision, so patients recover safely before flying home.
Facial Plastic Surgery
Surgeons perform facial procedures with both open and closed techniques. Patients who want major rejuvenation can choose a Deep Plane Facelift. This method repositions the deeper muscle layers instead of just pulling the skin. For milder signs of aging, the Mini Facelift or MACS lift uses shorter incisions around the ear. Rhinoplasty options include ethnic and revision surgery. During consultations, surgeons often use 3D facial simulations to plan the result.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
The clinic offers full body transformations for both women and men. Popular options include:
- Mommy Makeover combinations
- Tummy tucks with abdominal muscle repair
- Liposuction 360° for circumferential contouring
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using micro fat grafting
- Gynecomastia surgery for male breast reduction
Breast options include augmentation, lifts, and reductions. Surgeons use premium FDA-approved implant brands for long-term material safety.
Dental Treatments
A separate dental division offers restorative and aesthetic care. Dentists use advanced tools like Cone Beam CT scans and Intraoral Scanning for precise planning. Available treatments include:
- Dental implants using Straumann or Nobel Biocare systems
- Full-mouth restorations (All-on-4 and All-on-6)
- Porcelain veneers and crowns
- Root canal therapy and surgical extractions
For complex dental work, patients can choose IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Technology and Materials
All injectable and surgical treatments rely on verified medical brands. Diagnostics include panoramic X-rays, DIAGNOCam for cavities, and Florida Probe technology for gum measurements. For body contouring, surgeons use VASER ultrasonic liposuction because it works well on firm, fibrous tissue. Injectables come from known brands such as Botox, Juvederm, and Restylane.
Services for International Patients
A bilingual coordinator handles all logistics for patients from the United States, Canada, and Europe. Free virtual consultations usually take place within 24 to 48 hours of an inquiry. The all-inclusive care package covers:
- Coordinated airport and clinic transfers
- Seven nights or more at a partner recovery hotel
- Daily physician visits for wound care and progress checks
- Bilingual assistant support throughout the stay
- Pre-operative blood tests and post-operative medications
Another option is The Rom Recovery House. It offers a private setting and chef-prepared meals suited to post-surgery nutrition. Once patients return home, follow-up continues by video call for three months.
