Arturo Valdez, MD

I am so pleased I’ve met this wonderful doctor and his team! I had an amazing experience, rejuvenating my neck and face, and I would highly recommend his services.

In the United States medical care does not provide the care and concern that Dr. Valdez and his team have offered. I felt taken care of and cared for the entire time and throughout the procedure and recovery,. The follow up care has also been very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend Dr. Valdez and his services. I will be visiting again!

I recently traveled to Cancun to have endoscopic brow lift surgery with Dr. Arturo Valdez, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Like many people, I had concerns about having a procedure done abroad—but those fears were quickly put to rest.

Dr. Valdez operates out of a fully accredited hospital, and from the moment I arrived, I felt safe and well cared for. What impressed me most was how much time he takes with his patients. He thoroughly explained every step of the process, patiently answered all my questions, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. His calm, reassuring presence gave me complete confidence going into the surgery.

One of the most important things for out-of-country patients is follow-up care, and Dr. Valdez truly goes above and beyond. He personally checks in with you via video calls, is always available to answer messages, and responds quickly to any concerns—even after you’ve returned home. That level of commitment is rare and incredibly comforting when you're recovering far from home.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my results, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Valdez to anyone considering surgery, and I would trust him again without hesitation. I’ve already recommended him to my family and friends, and I will definitely return to him for any future procedures.

Thank you, Dr. Valdez, for your dedication and exceptional care—you’ve truly earned my trust for life!

Dr. Arturo Valdez has been my trusted plastic surgeon for the last 20 years, and my recent experiences with him have reaffirmed that choice. From Botox treatments to a full face and neck lift, I have continually been impressed by his expertise, kindness, and professionalism. The pre-procedure evaluation with Dr. Valdez was exceptionally informative. He took the time to explain every aspect of the procedures. I felt completely safe under his guidance. The results of my recent full face and neck lift, along with an endoscopic brow lift, exceeded all expectations. Just two weeks post-surgery, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my appearance—I looked refreshed yet natural without any signs of having undergone surgery. The careful concealment of incisions has contributed significantly to my results. They are healing at an accelerated rate thanks to Dr. Valdez's expert technique. Dr. Valdez's expertise in facial procedures is unmatched, making him stand out among other plastic surgeons. His kind bedside manner further enhances the experience; he treats patients with respect and empathy, ensuring we feel valued throughout our journey. I recommend Dr. Arturo Valdez for anyone seeking plastic surgery or aesthetic treatments. His extensive experience, combined with his dedication to patient safety and comfort, sets him apart as a leading expert in facial procedures.

I flew from Chicago to Cancun to have a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and forehead lift with Dr. Valdez and I am ecstatic. He completely exceeded my expectations and my results are phenomenal!!! He is a member of the Aesthetic Society which is very big deal, I think only one other Dr. in his region is a member of this society. They require continuing education done in the US, and doctors have to follow safety protocol's among other important details. His technique is different because of what he learned here in the states. He does not use compression post op, and you lay flat your first night in the hospital which completely reduces swelling and bruising, he also has special techniques in the OR to reduce swelling and bruising post op. The day after surgery I barely looked like I had surgery! The nursing staff that took care of me throughout was outstanding, daily visits to my hotel and they are so much fun to hang with.

I seriously can’t say enough good things about Dr. Valdez! I’ve had two liposuction procedures done with him, and both times the results were even better than I expected. He’s super professional, made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and really listened to what I wanted.
I’ve recommended a bunch of friends to him, and every single one has been just as thrilled with their results. If you’re thinking about getting anything done, I honestly wouldn’t go to anyone else. Dr. Valdez is amazing!

This was my third procedure with Dr. Valdez, and I truly can’t speak highly enough about him. My journey started with a breast reduction, followed by two rounds of liposuction and a deep neck lift—and each experience has only strengthened my trust in his skill, care, and professionalism. I 100% trust Dr. Valdez, and if anyone is considering getting anything done, I recommend him without a single doubt. He’s not only a gifted surgeon but also someone who genuinely listens and delivers results that go beyond expectations.

I have seen Dr Valdez for 3 different surgeries now over the last 14 years. The first being very early in his career. He’s caring, compassionate and gives real advice. I’ll never forget coming in with unrealistic expectations and Dr Valdez taking the time to explain why my original want wasn’t a good idea. It wasn’t going to work for my body, and I would undoubtedly be unhappy with the result, as well as put my health at risk with potential complications.
How many other surgeons would take the time and potentially risk the loss of a sale by being realistic with you? I knew in that moment he was different than other surgeons I’d seen, patients over profit, and I will always trust his advice.
He took the time to know me as a person, not just a patient, and helped me make the right decisions on my surgeries.

Choosing to have a cosmetic procedure is life changing, I used to hide under baggy clothes and have little confidence. I’d worked so hard in the gym but I couldn’t get rid of the skin. I hated how I looked and that lack of confidence seeped into my everyday life. It affected how I carried myself, how I interacted with others, what events I’d shy away from. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’d cry because the spanks didn’t hide the skin and you could see it through my dress. I didn’t want anyone to see me.

When I reflect back to the person I was before I met Dr Valdez, Andres and the entire team, I can hardly believe I’m that same person. I’ll forever be grateful for them giving me my confidence back and changing my life.

I’ve written several reviews over the years and will continue to champion Dr Valdez and the amazing team he works with.

If you are on the fence in making your decision and reading this, just know you’re in great hands and can put your trust in Dr Valdez to give you the best outcome. I did, and I’ve never been happier.

My experience from start to finish with Dr Valdez has been nothing but amazing. From the consults to the follow ups I would give a 15 out of 10. The results are more than I had hoped for. The incisions are next to invisible. If anyone is thinking about a procedure (I had a facelift) in Mexico Dr. Valdez should definitely be on your radar.

Making the choice to get a procedure done in another country is not for the faint of heart. What made the process entirely comfortable was not only Dr. Valdez‘s professional credentials but also the many reviews and pictures from past procedures that are available. I did my homework and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. He was so thorough leading up to my procedure and the results exceeded my expectations in every way. The aftercare is also very thorough and I felt taken care of from the moment I arrived in Cancun until the day I left. Dr Valdez is very detail oriented and four months later he is still checking in to make sure the scars are healing properly. They look amazing by the way!! I can’t say enough good things about him and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented surgeon and a great experience.

I live in the US and wanted a face lift. After checking with my local surgeons I had decided that I could not afford the prices. At that point I researched having a facelift in Mexico. I read a number of very positive reviews of Dr. Valdez in Cancun, but still wanted to explore other surgeons. I was nervous about going out of the states to have surgery, but after gathering all the information and speaking to some of his team, especially Betty, I was convinced that Dr. Valdez was the right choice, and I was correct. Not only is Dr. Valdez professional, talented, and an expert surgeon, he is also attentive and caring, and communicates well. I strongly believe I could not have been in better hands.

Working with Dr. Valdez is his fabulous team. The anesthesiologist was superb and explained what she was going to do and what I should expect. I was never nauseous and I felt safe and secure. The team of surgical nurses were kind and professional, and the office receptionists were all friendly and efficient. I worked with My Medical Vacations, who took care of lodging for 21 days. Everything was taken care of, transportation to and from the airport, Dr’s appointments, and even to the grocery and other apppointments, along with excellent nursing visits, (thank you Ana and Marlen). My husband came with me, but I could have done this by myself because of all the help that was offered. And this was all part of the entire price. I was amazed!

Best of all is that I love the results. I look like myself 15 years ago, only better. My skin glows and my face is fuller, and my neck and jawline are taut. Even people close to me can not tell I had surgery. It is a process and you want to give yourself some downtime to recovery, but each week and even each day you can see progress. I choose to stay in Mexico for 6 weeks after surgery, 3 of those weeks was in My Medical Vacations lodging, and the next 3 weeks my husband and I traveled through the Yucatan area, which was beautiful and safe, with delicious and healthy food. I saw Dr. Valdez throughout my 3 weeks in Cancun, and he and his team were easily accessible by phone and WhatsApp afterward. I could have comfortably returned home after the three weeks in Cancun, but wanted to experience more of Mexico.

My fears of having facial cosmetic surgery were dispelled after my experience with Dr. Valdez and his fabulous team. Thank you all!
