How Much Does Threads Lifting Cost in Mexico?

The cost of threads lifting in Mexico typically ranges from $400 to $600. Prices vary depending on the number of threads used, the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, and the complexity of the area treated. In the United States, the average cost is $3,500 (per ASPS). Threads lifting in Mexico is about 86% less than in the U.S.

Mexican clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op assessment, local anesthesia, post-op medication, follow-up visits, and 24/7 patient support. You also get a personalized treatment plan and English-speaking staff. In the U.S., these services are often billed separately, especially follow-up care or extra support. Always confirm exactly what’s included at your chosen clinic.

Key Benefits
Threads lifting in Mexico is a popular and cost-effective option for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation. The procedure, also known as thread lift, involves using absorbable threads to lift and tighten the skin. Prices can range from $1,800 to $2,000, offering significant savings compared to the US, where costs can exceed $4,000. Mexico, particularly cities like Tijuana and Cancun, attracts patients looking for affordable cosmetic procedures. Clinics often utilize advanced PDO threads and adhere to international standards like ISO 9001, ensuring high-quality care. It's important to choose experienced professionals to ensure safety and optimal results.

Threads Lifting in Mexico: Pros and Cons

Threads lifting in Mexico can offer significant cost savings, but it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.

Pros Cons
Lower costs. Threads lifting in Mexico costs $1,800–$2,000 compared to over $4,000 in the US, offering savings of 50–60%. Safety concerns. Potential risks include infection rates of 1–3% and minor bruising or swelling. These risks are similar to those in the US and can be minimized by choosing qualified clinics.
Qualified practitioners. Providers often hold certification from the Mexican Council of Plastic Surgery (CMCPER) and may have US or European training. Many have performed hundreds of thread lift procedures. Follow-up care. Post-procedure adjustments or complications may require travel back to Mexico. Some clinics offer telemedicine follow-up services to support international patients.
Modern facilities. Clinics use advanced PDO threads and adhere to ISO 9001 standards. Equipment is sourced from reputable brands similar to those used in the US. Different regulatory standards. COFEPRIS standards differ from the FDA, but top clinics follow international protocols and are ISO certified, reducing regulatory gaps.
Minimally invasive with rapid recovery. Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days, with visible results lasting 12–18 months. Temporary results. Threads lifting is not permanent. Results typically last 12–18 months, after which maintenance may be needed.
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, threads lifting in Mexico can offer effective, affordable facial rejuvenation with a short recovery time.

I like the environment and how everything was set up. I think you should have more instructions on how to care for yourself. I think you should have a care package while you are there to take care of yourself, too.
The staff was nice
I didn't like that they stuck me 5 times to put a iv in.

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.

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!

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.

my doctor, Dr. M was amazing. He was available by text very experienced knowledgeable. I cannot comment on the outcome as of yet. I’m only 10 days out but definitely will be back to update my review so far he has a 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone thinking of Having surgery. I really cannot say enough about his professionalism
I liked how the doctor explained everything to me in details that I understood made sure I understood exactly what was happening as well as being realistic about how long it will take in the journey to get there. And just knowing that he and his staff were there for me at all times during my stay.
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I don’t think I have any one particular item that I did not like of course nobody likes having surgery done however they made it as comfortable as possible

Threads Lifting: Before & after photos

View all

Before and after photos of thread lifting in Mexico showcase the significant improvement that a minimally invasive facelift can offer. These images clearly demonstrate the transformation from sagging skin and mild jowls to a visibly lifted, more youthful appearance. Results are especially noticeable for adults aged 35–55 with mild to moderate skin laxity, with substantial enhancement in jawline and cheek definition.

Patients typically experience noticeable changes within 2–4 weeks, with final results achieved in about 3 months. The procedure uses absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) threads, which stimulate collagen production to maintain lift. Thread lift results last 12–18 months, and about 85% of patients report satisfaction with their outcome.
