How Much Does Cat Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty) Cost in Mexico?

The cost of Cat Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty) in Mexico typically ranges from $2,500 to $4,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and whether you combine it with other eyelid surgeries. In the United States, the average cost is $6,500 (per ASPS). This means Cat Eye Surgery in Mexico costs about 46% less than in the U.S.

Mexican clinics generally include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, pre-op tests, surgical materials, and one follow-up visit in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, facility fees, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm with your clinic what’s included in your package.

Cat Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty) in Mexico: Pros and Cons

Cat Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty) in Mexico can offer significant cost savings, but it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.

Pros Cons
Lower costs. Canthoplasty in Mexico typically costs $2,500–$2,800 versus $5,000+ in the US, offering savings of up to 50%. Safety concerns. Potential risks include infection (1–3%), asymmetry, or scarring, which are similar to rates in the US when performed by qualified surgeons.
Qualified surgeons. Surgeons are certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic Surgery (CMCPER), often with 10–30 years of experience and international training. Follow-up care. Managing post-op care from abroad can be challenging, but clinics offer telemedicine and detailed discharge instructions.
Modern facilities. Procedures are performed in JCI- and ISO-accredited hospitals using equipment from brands like Stryker and Zimmer. Different regulatory standards. COFEPRIS standards differ from the FDA, but top clinics also meet JCI or ISO standards and follow FDA-aligned protocols.
Quick scheduling and recovery packages. Wait times are shorter, and clinics offer bundled packages with local transportation and aftercare support. Travel-related risks. Potential risks include travel stress and environmental exposure post-surgery, but most clinics provide recovery house stays and transportation to minimize complications.
Personal coordinator support. Bookimed’s medical coordinator helps compare clinics, request personalized quotes, and manage treatment logistics at no additional cost.

It's crucial to thoroughly research clinics and verify surgeon credentials before making a decision. When performed by qualified professionals in accredited facilities, Cat Eye Surgery in Mexico can offer a safe and affordable alternative for patients seeking cosmetic enhancement.

My experience has been very bad with Dr. Ayala… He only spoke with me for about 10 minutes before my surgery and afterwards was very reluctant to answer any questions when I said I was not happy with the outcome of my neck and ears. He said I could come back in a couple of months to have it fixed. When I came back. I decided to do liposuction on my abdominal area at the same time again the same thing no follow up as far as what I should be doing or wearing or anything… Again, one of my ears was not corrected and looked actually worse than before. When I came back to get my stitches out I pointed that out and he said that was normal and I argued saying that my other ear came out fine and this year looked bad. He said he couldn’t do anything else except wait for another couple of months and have me come back again. At this point, I showed him my liposuction, which looked bad as well with a lot of fibrosis happening… He gave no recommendation except to have ultrasound treatment done. I went online and discovered I should be wearing compression garments as well as getting massage for lymphatic fluid, which was building up. Once I went to the masseuse, she informed me of all the things I needed to be doing, but this is also cost me an extra thousand dollars. The whole experience was very disappointing and now I need to go to another surgeon to get one of my ears fixed hopefully for the last time But this all started Jan 3 and we are now into May and I’m still not out of the woods! I actually liked the personalities of everybody that I worked with, but I cannot in good conscience. Recommend them to anyone else because I know they will be very disappointed!

The hospital advertised was not the one I went to. The operating room was thrown together i my opinion. Hardly anyone spoke English so I had a difficult time with the forms. I didn't even get a copy. After the surgery I was left on my back overnight night and was told I'll be ok. Once finally discharged the next morning, I only received antibiotics and ibuprofen. No instructions on how and what to do afterwards. I felt like they did what they was supposed to and dropped me off in the streets to fend for myself

The surgeon was good but the coordinator Carlo made too many mistakes. 1. Didn’t book continuous days at hotel. 2. As a result, I was kicked out of room the day I was in surgery. . 2. Need more after care days to remove drainage. I was abruptly kicked out of TJ while I was still feeling weak. Needed more days in Tijuana. At least 2 more. Return to America and no one wanted to remove drainage tubes. 3. The day nurse talked bad about me to everyone. The night nurse , Paulina was perfect. I would never recommend surgery in Mexico. No need to go viral with this because all of USA know this. Mexican are much better at picking fruits!

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.

Nothing signifigant to criticise, went fairly smooth.

Their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria
First off, I used Aura Wellness Center, instead of Alice Beauty Clinic. And, their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria. Sara was the best English speaker there and helped me with everything. Maria was kind, warm, and also a great English speaker. They made it less lonely since I had this journey alone. Through Bookimed, I was assisted by Confidence, she was super thoughtful and checked up on me. She made sure I had connections with my medical coordinator and doctor. My coordinator was named Carlos. He was kind, answering all my questions and even texted me after my surgery numerous time to ensure I was recovering and satisfied with my results. My doctor was Dr. Ayala. I can't say much about him since he was in and out of the surgery room. I met him briefly. And, I'm unsure of my results as I am only one month post-op.
The staff at the clinic was accommodating. The coordinator from Bookimed and from the doctor ensured my questions were answered.
Dr. Ayala's brevity and lack of check up after the surgery. I didn't meet him more than 15 (when I was conscious since I was under anesthesia when he operated on me).

The staff and doctors were extremely knowledgeable and and very supportive to all of my care needs. Everyone was very personable and caring and consistent at every turn. I felt safe and confident. Even more so than when n the states.
I liked how Dr Navarro came in and administered my tests himself. That never happens in the states.
I honestly can’t think of anything negative to say.

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.

Terrible surgeon. Will not take the time to speak with you, when he does he knows limited English and is very very rushed. The first time me he gave me results that were so drastic I looked like a pig or someone from who-ville. I had to pay for a second surgery for him to give me my old nose but even worse! (Again super rushed, had zero time to make a decision). Absolutely awful experience. Scary. He refused to even try to fix my nose now for another 6 months. Even though I offered to pay again. Have to date and see friends humiliated with a half finished face. Go to someone with talent and who actually cares. He doesn’t. You are just a number to the surgeons there.

FAQ about Cat Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty) in Mexico

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

How long should I plan to stay in Mexico for pre-surgery consultations and post-surgery recovery?

A typical stay involves arriving a few days before surgery for consultations and remaining at least one week post-surgery for initial recovery. This duration allows time for follow-up visits included in many packages, ensuring proper healing before traveling back home.

What are the recommended travel arrangements for someone undergoing Cat Eye Surgery in Mexico?

It's advisable to arrange for a companion to accompany you for support during travel and recovery. Plan your flights to allow sufficient time for pre-surgery consultations and post-surgery rest; many packages include airport transfers for convenience.

How do I handle any unexpected medical emergencies while I'm in Mexico for the surgery?

Before traveling, identify nearby hospitals with emergency services and check if they accept international patients. Having travel insurance that covers medical emergencies abroad can provide peace of mind and financial protection during unforeseen situations.

What should I know about the hospital or clinic's accreditation and reputation where the surgery will take place?

Ensure that the clinic is accredited by reputable organizations such as JCI or AAAASF International, which signifies adherence to high standards of care. Researching patient reviews and testimonials can also provide insights into the clinic's reputation and quality of service.

Will my health insurance cover any part of the procedure if performed in Mexico?

Health insurance coverage for procedures performed abroad varies widely; many policies do not cover elective surgeries outside your home country. It's crucial to contact your insurance provider beforehand to understand your policy's specifics regarding international medical procedures.

What are the differences in medical standards and regulations between Mexico and my home country?

Medical standards in Mexico can vary; however, many clinics adhere to international standards set by organizations like ISAPS. It's important to choose accredited facilities with a reputation for high-quality care to ensure safety and compliance with best practices.

How do language barriers affect communication with medical staff during my surgery in Mexico?

Many clinics in Mexico employ bilingual staff or offer translation services to facilitate clear communication with international patients. It's advisable to confirm language support availability during your initial consultation to ensure a smooth experience.

What kind of post-operative care will I need, and how will it be managed after returning home?

Post-operative care includes regular cleaning of the surgical area, applying prescribed ointments, and attending follow-up appointments. Many clinics offer virtual consultations for international patients to ensure proper healing once you return home.

Is it safe to travel to Mexico for Cat Eye Surgery considering current health advisories?

Travel safety for medical procedures in Mexico depends on current health advisories from organizations like the CDC and WHO. It's essential to stay updated on travel restrictions and health guidelines related to COVID-19 or other concerns before planning your trip.

What should I expect during the recovery process after Cat Eye Surgery in Mexico?

Recovery from Cat Eye Surgery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within this period. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions provided by their surgeon to promote healing and achieve optimal results.

How can I verify the qualifications and experience of the surgeon performing the surgery in Mexico?

Verify the surgeon's credentials by checking for board certification from recognized organizations such as ISAPS or the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (AMCPER). Additionally, review their educational background, years of experience, and patient testimonials to ensure they have a proven track record in performing Canthoplasty.

What are the potential risks and complications of Cat Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty) in Mexico?

Potential risks of Canthoplasty include infection, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in eyelid function. These complications are rare when performed by experienced surgeons, but it's crucial to discuss all risks during your consultation. Choosing a board-certified surgeon can significantly minimize these risks.
