Dr. Marco Polo Martínez Pérez, facial plastic surgeon. More than 5,000 procedures performed.

The cost of rhinoplasty depends on each individual case, which is why our procedures are listed as “Price provided after consultation.” Not every rhinoplasty requires the same approach. Some patients may need only specific aesthetic changes, while others may require more complex techniques or correction of functional and breathing problems. The cost is determined by the surgical technique required, the complexity of the procedure, operating room time, and the medical team involved. After your consultation, we can create a personalized surgical plan and provide you with an exact quote based on what your specific case requires.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and each patient’s individual healing process. In general, after facial surgery, most patients need 7 to 14 days before returning to most everyday activities, although some procedures may require additional recovery time. For example: * Rhinoplasty: around day 4, you may be able to resume light activities, such as working on a computer, as long as your recovery is progressing well. * Facelift: you can generally return to activities such as office work around day 15, depending on your recovery. Swelling and bruising gradually decrease over time, so you can return to your normal routine well before your final results are fully visible. Returning to exercise, strenuous physical activity, and physically demanding work should be gradual and follow your surgeon’s instructions. Although functional recovery occurs much sooner, final results may take 12 to 18 months to fully settle, depending on the procedure and each patient’s healing process. During your consultation, we will provide a more personalized recovery timeline based on your procedure, type of work, and usual activities.

Payment methods are reviewed during your consultation, along with your personalized quote and according to the location where your procedure will be performed. If you are interested in splitting the cost into payments, we recommend discussing this during your consultation so we can explain the options currently available and the requirements for each one. We offer different payment methods, including credit cards. External alternatives may also be available, such as cundinas or tandas (rotating savings groups) managed by independent coordinators, as well as certain financing options, which may involve additional fees. This website does not publish specific financing plans, monthly payments, or payment terms, as these may vary depending on the location, institution, or third-party provider offering them. During your consultation, we can provide you with up-to-date information about the options available at that time.

Many of my patients travel from the United States. For those coming from El Paso, Texas, our location in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, is the closest and is usually the most convenient option for both the initial evaluation and postoperative follow-up visits. The first consultation can be done remotely by sending photographs and scheduling a telemedicine consultation via video call; this allows us to review your case, perform an initial assessment, and discuss your treatment options. An in-person evaluation before surgery is essential, as it allows me to perform a proper physical examination and personally finalize your surgical plan; when appropriate and everything has been planned in advance, this evaluation can even take place on the same day as your surgery. I require all patients to complete preoperative blood and urine tests; for patients over 40 years of age, I also require a cardiopulmonary evaluation before surgery. After surgery, some follow-up appointments that do not require a physical examination can be completed by video call; during your consultation, we will also plan your postoperative care and determine how long you should remain in Mexico before returning home. For patients traveling from other cities or countries, we also offer care in Culiacán and Mexico City; both cities have good flight connectivity and easily accessible locations. My team can guide you throughout the entire process; from your initial consultation and travel planning to your surgery and postoperative follow-up, helping ensure that your experience is well organized and that you receive appropriate support throughout your recovery.
