Excellent: Male Neck and Facelift with SMAS, Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

I had researched through books and web and found Dr. Quiroz at Cosmed clinic in Tijuana. He was highly qualified, board certified in Mexico and the US, and had lots of experience with the procedures I was interested in. And yet, the costs were much less than what I was quoted from L.A. doctors where I live.

Dr. Quiroz is an excellent Doctor and I had a great experience with him. I'm in my mid 50's and wanted to look refreshed and rejuvenated, and a little more handsome like I was in my youth so I had been looking for a plastic surgeon for many months before I found him.

Dr. Quiroz has a great demeanor and is very professional yet personable. He had lots of experience with male neck and face lifts. He's highly certified as you'll see for yourself when you check his credentials.

My procedure was a neck and face lift with SMAS and platysmas, plus upper and lower blepharoplasty. He took his time and explained the procedure to me first over the phone and then again in person, a year later, when I went in for the operation. I had a great experience with Dr. Quiroz and would highly recommend him and his team in a heart beat.

Because men can't hide usually hide their scars with longer hair, I didn't go back to work until four weeks post-op. I felt like my scars and the swelling needed a little more time to settle then the usual three weeks. As well, I got parts of my beard waxed around the ears before going to work. And in another month, once more of the swelling goes down, I hope to get electrolysis to restore a more natural looking beard/sideburn hairline as the neck and facelift shifts your beard in front of and behind your ears. It's hard to find this specific information online so I'm leaving it here as men need to be prepared for this.

As well, I have to mention that the whole staff at Cosmed was excellent. From the receptionists, to the nurses, to the pre and post op Doctor to the nursing staff at the recovery clinic. Everyone was very kind, super efficient and took very good care of me. I came to the recovery the day before to do my labs and cardiogram, and then I stayed for five nights post-op. It was the perfect amount of time to stay as you get over the first days of healing. Eye sutures, and the drains came out on day five before going home. Two weeks after the operation, I went back to have the rest of the sutures taken out since I live only a few hours away via the train.

So.. I highly recommend you do your homework and research before making any final decision but know that I highly recommend Dr. Quiroz and Cosmed Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. I'd go back again.
