A facial fat transfer package in Mexico typically includes the surgical procedure, anesthesia fees, facility charges, pre-operative testing, post-operative medications, compression garments, accommodation for 4–7 nights, ground transportation, and follow-up care. The comprehensive price ranges from $1,700–$2,450, significantly lower than the USA ($9,000–$15,000) or UK ($5,500–$9,000).
The surgical component covers board-certified surgeon fees, operating room use, and anesthesia administered by licensed anesthesiologists. Pre-operative services include physical evaluation, blood tests, and medical clearance consultations. Facilities such as José Cortés Institute (5.0 rating) and Hospital de la Familia (4.1 rating, accredited by Joint Commission International) maintain standards verified by COFEPRIS, Mexico's federal health regulator. Post-surgical care includes prescribed antibiotics, pain relievers, wound care supplies, and compression garments for donor sites where fat is harvested.
Accommodation and logistics are bundled into most packages, with 4–7 nights at 3- or 4-star hotels or specialized recovery houses. Ground transportation covers airport transfers and clinic visits, while bilingual coordinators assist with medical instructions and scheduling. Daily meals supporting recovery are included at many facilities. Follow-up visits during the stay are standard, with some clinics offering virtual consultations for 1–3 months after patients return home. Flights, travel insurance, and extended hotel stays beyond the recovery period are typically excluded from the advertised price.
Verify surgeon certification through the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (CMCPER) registry and confirm facility accreditation with COFEPRIS before booking to ensure package inclusions meet safety standards.
