About the clinic
Facial fat transfer at Dr. Alexandro Aguilera - Plastic Surgery in Mexico City uses a patient's own fat to restore volume and smooth wrinkles. This procedure is performed by Dr. Alexandro Aguilera Salgado, a board-certified specialist with deep expertise in microsurgery and facial paralysis. The clinic uses advanced simulation tools to help patients visualize their results before the surgery begins.
Advanced Planning and Technology
The clinic uses Crisalix 3D simulation for pre-operative planning. This tool creates a real-time preview of the expected facial fat transfer results. It helps the surgeon and patient agree on the desired look for more predictable outcomes. For the fat harvesting step, the team uses VASER ultrasonic liposuction. This method uses sound waves to gently loosen fat cells. It helps protect the surrounding tissue and often leads to a faster recovery than traditional liposuction. The clinic also uses MicroAire power-assisted liposuction to gather fat for the transfer.
Expertise of Dr. Alexandro Aguilera Salgado
Dr. Alexandro Aguilera Salgado is a highly trained plastic surgeon certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. He holds specializations in aesthetic surgery, hand surgery, and microsurgery. Dr. Aguilera Salgado has a background in complex cases and has published research on fat transfer for craniofacial syndromes. He is an active member of international groups including ISAPS and the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery. In 2014, he won first place in the International Residents Contest held by FILACP.
The Lipofilling Process
Facial fat transfer, also known as lipofilling, involves three main steps. First, the surgeon removes fat from a donor area like the abdomen or thighs. Next, the fat is processed and purified. Finally, the surgeon injects the healthy fat into specific areas of the face. This method is often used to fill hollow cheeks, soften deep lines, or improve the appearance of scars. Because it uses the patient's own tissue, there is no risk of an allergic reaction to the filler material.

I felt it was a high quality procedure, with a very friendly and professional doctor and staff
The doctor took the time to explain the different size and projection options for the silicone implant and what would suit my face. I felt it was a high quality procedure, with a very friendly and professional doctor and staff. The clinic's support has also been good. They are easy to reach and gave me a clear aftercare guide, which is helpful. I am still recovering, but so far I am feeling better than expected.
High quality procedure, very friendly and professional doctor and staff.

This doctor is AWESOME

My biggest concern going into this was the recovery, especially after combining all four procedures. And it is tough. The diastasis recti repair is still very tender, and my biggest mobility challenge is just getting out of bed. It’s a slow process. That said, I can already see an amazing difference in my waist, and my entire torso, which makes the discomfort feel purposeful. This doctor is AWESOME. The support from the surgeon and the entire team was excellent. My most practical advice for other moms is that consistent help is essential for childcare. You will not be able to manage it alone.
This doctor is EXCELLENT. He’s certified, he’s up to date on all treatments. He is judicious and skilled at not just the Sufi al techniques but the aesthetics of the craft. His personality is calm and kind and his staff is supportive. I have had two procedures with him over these past three months and plan to make him ‘my doctor.’ Love this clinic!
Honestly, not really anything except for maybe a clearer structure of post-op recovery therapies and a liaison service or someone to help schedule them efficiently.

I'm relieved to say my incisions are already well-hidden behind my ears
My biggest worry beforehand was about scarring and the recovery process. I'm relieved to say my incisions are already well-hidden behind my ears. The surgeon performed a deep plane lift, and the result so far is a jawline with noticeable new definition. My neck feels comfortably snug, not painfully tight. The hardest part of recovery has been sleeping elevated, which is to be expected but still challenging. Overall, the process with the clinic and staff was very straightforward. My one tip for others would be to prepare your kitchen in advance: get soft foods and melons, fresh fruits or steam-able vegetables like carrots. You'll want to take small bites at first.
The surgery had to be delayed because I was not feeling well right after arriving at my hotel. I came from outside Mexico for the procedure. We were able to do it a week later, and I stayed extra days for the reschedule.
The staff is great and very personable. On the phone I spoke to and messaged the Doctor's personal assistant, and he speaks and writes great English. On the day of surgery, I stayed overnight following the procedure, and my night nurse had her phone set up so we could speak, translating questions, answers, and instructions back and forth. The dinner was beverages, yogurt, freshly made grilled chicken with steamed vegetables, the morning breakfast was eggs, yogurt with melon for breakfast. I stayed in a private room.
I saw Dr. Aguilera right after I was prepped for surgery by the anesthesiologist and two nurses, who introduced themselves. Dr. Aguilera met me in the operating room, before I was given the final dose of sleeping medication, and was the first person I saw, still in the operating room, when emerging from anesthesia.
The following day, the doctor checked my sutures and gave me some advice about what to do and not to do, the following day. He was satisfied with my recovery, so my head and neck were wrapped up for the Uber ride back to my hotel apartment.
We had a stove, microwave, dishes and a full refrigerator in the room where we were staying. This is so convenient for gel packs, fresh foods and juices. I felt extremely comfortable traveling home on a three-hour flight, 10 days after the operation. Based on my experience, Plan fourteen days, giving yourselves an opportunity to settle in will make for a much more gratifying experience. Mexico City is quite easy to travel around, and since it is high altitude, the best way to adjust is to see the city or neighborhood you live in as you prepare for your procedure.
I highly recommend Dr. Aguilera; I am healing well, and I am happy with the results.
The internet reception is not good on the sidewalk in front of the building, probably due to the other tall buildings. Just make sure you have made any arrangements for pick-up in the office where the wi-fi is.
