When I first mentioned traveling to Mexico for this procedure, many people in my circle were concerned. We’ve all heard the cautionary tales, but from my first consultation, I knew I was in capable hands. This wasn't just about "getting work done"; it was about a meticulous, highly personalized medical journey.
Why This Surgeon Stands Out:
Extreme Diligence: The pre-operative phase was incredibly thorough. The doctor didn't just look at my face; they looked at my entire health profile to ensure I was a perfect candidate for a deep plane technique.
Constant Communication: The sheer number of check-ups before the surgery completely eased my anxiety. Every question was answered with patience and clinical depth.
Meticulous Aftercare: The post-op phase was where the doctor truly shined. I wasn't just "discharged and forgotten." There were frequent, scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing, swelling, and incision sites.
Natural Results: The deep plane technique requires a master's touch to avoid that "pulled" look. My results are refreshed, tight in the right places, and—most importantly—look exactly like me, just ten years ago.
While the surgical outcome was great, the actual hospital stay in Guadalajara was a bit of a mixed bag. If you are coming from the US, it’s important to adjust your expectations, as the "luxury" experience you might expect for the price doesn't always translate to the daily bedside care.
The Hospital Facilities: A Mediocre Reality
The facility itself felt functional, but the patient experience left a lot to be desired. Dealing with a recovery while navigating a different medical system definitely had its moments of frustration.
The Lowlights of My Stay:
Hygiene & Comfort: I was in bed for two full days, and my sheets were never changed. Most upsetting was having to sleep on a bloody pillowcase from the initial post-op drainage; it felt unsanitary and made it very hard to get comfortable.
Medication Confusion: I was given a revolving door of pills and IV drips. While I’m sure they were necessary, there was very little explanation provided. I often felt like I was just swallowing things without knowing if they were for pain, swelling, or infection.
Cultural Differences in Care: Things are definitely done differently in Mexico. The nursing staff was polite, but the proactive "pampering" or constant monitoring of room cleanliness that you see in US private hospitals just wasn't there.
Final Thoughts on the Facility
The surgeon's skill is the main event, but the recovery environment felt a bit neglected. It’s a "no-frills" clinical experience—fine if you just need a bed, but disappointing if you’re expecting a high-end recovery suite.
Pro Tip: If you choose this facility, I highly recommend bringing a companion who can advocate for you, ask for fresh linens, and help keep track of your medication schedule. Also, have wipes, napkins, sanitizer, lip balm and a phone charger all within reach.

I am 3 months post op and I have zero regrets
The experience I had with Dr Marroquin far exceed my expectations. I am an American living in Miami, FL. I inquired with surgeons locally before deciding to travel abroad for my deep plane face and neck lift with blepharoplasty. After extensive research I found Dr Marroquin, I read through all the patient testimonials I could find and looked at all his before and after photos. I reached out to him via Bookimed. At first I thought I was being scammed, the people at Bookimed did not speak very good english, I could tell I was communicating with a non native english or spanish speaker. The communications came in at weird hours of the day. After a few back and forth, I said I would not proceed any further without speaking with someone from Dr Marroquins office. That same day someone claiming to be Dr Marroquin contacted me on Whatsapp. I thought for sure it was a scam, so at first I ignored him. In Miami you would have to be dying in order for the surgeon to speak with you directly. I told him I was feeling uneasy and he suggested we set up a video call for later that day, I thought there is no way its going to be him on the phone, and sure enough it was him! He took his personal time on a Sunday to call me. We spoke for almost an hour, and at the end of that call I was 100% sure this was my doctor. He is so down to earth and approachable, he made me feel so at ease. I let him know the next day I wanted to proceed with the surgery, from that point on I only communicated with him. He helped me to schedule the surgery, my preop appointments and made recommendations for recovery houses. In less than a month I arrived in Guadalajara, he met with me the next day and we discussed the surgery in length. At that point I decided to add a lip lift to the procedure. I passed all my preop and had my surgery on August 26th. Dr Marroquin was amazing the day of surgery, he spoke to me in english (which he speaks very well), he made sure I understood every step of the process. Everything went very well, I spent the next 10 days in Mexico recovering at a recovery house. I spoke with Dr Marroquin every day while I was there. I had zero complications and flew home after 10 days to continue my recovery at home. I am 3 months post op and I have zero regrets. I speak with Dr Marroquin every few weeks and keep him updated on my progress with photos. If you are considering this surgery, I 100% recommend having a consultation with Dr Marroquin, he is an amazing doctor and human being.
I liked how personal the service was, I really got to know my doctor and felt 100% at ease with him.
I wish I would have waited for the recovery house I wanted to use to have availability. They were booked up so I decided to use another one that was not as highly rated. It was not a bad experience, but it could have been better.

Dr Marroquin was/is available nearly immediately with WhatsApp and addressed all my concerns and questions with a speed and efficiency one can't get in the US
Top notch facilities, very attentive staff and Dr Marroquin was / is available nearly immediately with WhatsApp and addressed all my concerns and questions with a speed and efficiency one can't get in the US. My recovery at FCH Hotel was very good as well. Is in a great area of Guadalajara, totally safe and lots of dining options.
Competence of Dr and staff.
Nothing signifigant to criticise, went fairly smooth.

I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue
I had a really great experience with my doctor and care here. I wanted a very natural looking nose, not to look "doll-like" or like I had a rhinoplasty. Same for lip filler. I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue. I believe it required different degrees of cutting for each nostril so I'm very impressed that the end result's symmetry appears less than 1mm different from one another, that's a huge improvement from before. The shape is really nice and I was impressed that after surgery the packing was done in such a way that I was able to breathe through my nose the whole time, even during my recovery.

Dr
Dr. Marraquin was amazing. He spent over an hour with me on my consultation before my surgery. Let me know absolutely everything that was going to happen. His years of training is quite obvious to anybody who is requesting his services. He answered every question I could possibly think of. Additionally, he was available through text messaging 24 hours a day. He’s response time was impressive. I was very pleased with the outcome of my facelift. I would refer him to any buddy I know.
