Why this isn't your final quote

We can't give you a 100% exact number until your surgeon sees your case in your medical video consultation. Your final quote may move from this estimate based on additional studies your surgeon may need, your specific anatomy, or projected recovery time. Most patients land within 15% of what you're seeing here — we'd rather tell you that upfront than surprise you later.

About this procedure

- What is it?: A comprehensive procedure that tightens underlying facial muscles and removes excess skin to smooth deep folds and lift sagging jowls.

- Who is it for?: Patients with significant sagging in the mid-face, jawline, and neck who want a long-term solution that non-surgical fillers cannot provide.

- Recovery: Plan for 2 weeks of downtime. Full results usually settle by the 3rd or 4th month.

- Common Question: Will I look "pulled"? Modern facelifting focuses on lifting the deeper tissues (SMAS) rather than just pulling the skin, resulting in a refreshed, natural look, never "windblown."

- Price: Starting at $9,314 USD.
Includes: Medical fees, necessary facial garments or bandages, and post-surgical consultations.

WHAT PATIENTS SAY

Verified patient reviews from CMCPER-board-certified surgeon

Dr. Foraste is an excellent professional. From the first moment he transmits confidence, explains everything with great clarity, and his deep knowledge and experience are evident. His manner is kind, close, and human, which makes one feel heard and in good hands. I loved how he answered every one of my questions with patience and honesty, always prioritizing health and well-being in addition to the aesthetic side. Without a doubt, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, ethical plastic surgeon with quality results.

Verified patient 5/5 · 2025 verified

Dr. Foraste performed my neck liposuction. He was careful at every moment, always attentive to make sure I was well during and after the procedure, as was his assistant. I'm happy with the results. He explained the post-op care in detail and was always available for my questions. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!

Frequently asked questions about this procedure

How is recovery from plastic surgery different from cosmetic vs. reconstructive procedures?

Recovery depends on the procedure, not whether it's cosmetic or reconstructive. What matters is the extent of tissue work:

  • Minimally invasive (Botox®, fillers, eyelid): 1–3 days social downtime.
  • Single-area surgery (rhinoplasty, breast aug): 5–10 days visible recovery, 4–6 weeks full activity.
  • Combined procedures (Mommy Makeover, 360 Lipo + BBL): 10–14 days in Mexico, 6–8 weeks full activity, 3–6 months for final result.

Your surgeon will give you a personalized recovery roadmap during your medical video consultation, including expected swelling timeline, scar care, and when you can return to work and exercise.

What is the difference between a Mommy Makeover and 360 Liposculpture + BBL?

Both are popular combined procedures, but they target different goals:

  • Mommy Makeover: Designed to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Typically combines a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction of the flanks. Best for women with skin laxity and separated abdominal muscles.
  • 360 Liposculpture + BBL: Focused on body contouring without major skin removal. Liposuction is performed across the abdomen, flanks, and back, and the harvested fat is purified and re-injected to enhance the buttocks. Best for patients with good skin elasticity who want sculpting and curve enhancement.

During your medical video consultation, your surgeon will recommend the right approach based on your anatomy and goals.

How do I know which surgeon is right for my procedure?

During your 30-minute medical video consultation ($99 USD refundable), we match you with the board-certified surgeon in our network whose subspecialty, technique, and case history best fit your goals.
