About the clinic

Forehead reduction surgery at Zafir Medical Center in Mexico City helps patients achieve a balanced facial appearance. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto, a specialist known for his advanced facial harmonization techniques. This surgery can lower the hairline by 1.5 to 5 cm in a single session.

Advanced Surgical Technique

Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto performs forehead reduction, also known as frontoplastia, using local anesthesia and sedation. The surgery typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision inside the hairline. This method helps hide the scar while the skin heals. The final amount of reduction depends on the natural elasticity of the patient's scalp.

Recovery and Results

This is an outpatient procedure, meaning patients usually go home the same day. The results are permanent and do not require follow-up maintenance. Most patients can return to their daily routines within 2 to 3 weeks. Full recovery milestones include:

  • Stitch removal: Performed 12 to 14 days after surgery.
  • Return to work: Most patients resume work within 14 to 21 days.
  • Physical activity: Patients should wait 4 to 6 weeks before starting exercise.
  • Scar healing: The incision line usually becomes imperceptible after 6 to 12 months.

Specialist Expertise in Mexico

Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto leads the surgical team at Zafir Medical Center. He is certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. He also holds memberships in the International Society of Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Cravioto developed the Première Facial Harmonization Technique to create natural proportions for each patient.

Personalized Care

The clinic creates a surgical plan for every patient based on a detailed facial analysis. This helps set realistic expectations for the final outcome. Because Zafir Medical Center follows Mexican health authority regulations, patients receive care in a facility that meets national safety standards. The final results of the surgery are typically visible 12 months after the procedure once all swelling has subsided.

The atmosphere is very family-like! I would say you don’t feel like you’re in a clinic. Also, Zafir (Paulina) at reception is very warm and, at the same time, professional. She’s attentive to every detail and always makes sure to have the information at hand—both to keep the patient informed and to ensure you’re taken care of in every aspect. The place is very clean, it has all the necessary equipment, and there is plenty of nursing support whenever it’s needed. I highly recommend this clinic! They provide the necessary services at an affordable price.

It was really great to be at the facilities of Zafir Medical Center. Interlomas is truly a place that’s evolving. They provide top-level customer service, and it’s definitely worth it—especially when it comes to health matters. It’s wonderful to be in a place where professionals take care of you, but above all where they treat you with human, warm, kind, and decent manners. Also, the place is very beautiful. Paulina (the receptionist) is a very gentle and cordial person, and we felt at home. Thank you for the support. When I was there, they were doing renovations, but that didn’t prevent them from providing an impeccable service. And when that Hospital is 100% ready, it’s going to be something else in terms of value for money. Adding the customer service as well, I highly recommend it.
