Dr. Valdez was amazing! He addressed all my concerns and made sure I had realistic expectations. The entire process from the first consultation to my flight home was as stress free as could be. All doctors appointments, surgery times, transportation, blood work etc, and medicines were taken care of, I just had to show up. Dr. Valdez and all his staff are kind, professional, and genuinely caring people. They work in world class facilities, in fact it was the hospital room I stayed overnight in was nicer than any hospital room I stayed at in the USA or Canada. The end results are absolutely fabulous. I am about 4 months post surgery and have no visible scarring except under my chin, which is continuing to heal and fade. People who haven’t seen me for a while keep asking which skin care products I use because I look so refreshed. I still look like me just a younger, fresher, well rested version of me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Valdez without hesitation!!

I recently had a deep plane facelift and endoscopic brow lift with Dr. Arturo Valdez in Mexico, and my experience far exceeded every expectation I had. I was a little nervous about traveling abroad for surgery and uncertain about what the aftercare would look like, but what I found was the most compassionate and attentive doctor I could have asked for. From the very first consultation, Dr. Valdez took the time to understand what I was hoping to achieve. He asked thoughtful questions, reviewed photos of me from 20 years ago, and was genuinely invested in giving me results that felt natural and true to me. His kindness, warm smile, and calm confidence immediately put me at ease. The surgical experience and aftercare were outstanding. Dr. Valdez personally checked in on me twice the evening of my surgery to make sure I was comfortable and being cared for. A nurse stayed with me throughout the first night in the hospital, and in the following days, a team of wonderful nurses regularly cleaned my incisions, checked on my healing, and made sure I was comfortable. They even provided transportation to all four of my post-op appointments. Every step of the way, I felt supported, safe, and cared for. What impressed me most is Dr. Valdez’s modern, expert approach. I didn’t need to be wrapped up like in the traditional methods, and I had no pain—truly no need for painkillers. He emphasized trusting the body’s ability to heal, and he was absolutely right. At 57 years old, I wanted a refresh to address the natural aging process—jowls, skin laxity, and the downward shift of the face—and the results are incredible. My colleagues have said I look 20 years younger, and yet the results are so natural that nothing feels “overdone.” Choosing Dr. Valdez was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He is not only a highly skilled surgeon at the forefront of his field but also a compassionate human being who genuinely cares for his patients. If you are considering facial rejuvenation, I cannot recommend him highly enough. With Dr. Valdez, you will feel safe, cared for, and amazed at what’s

I’m a 59 years old woman that was in dire need of a facial rejuvenation procedure. After much research I found Dr. Valdez in Cancun, Mexico. My experience with Dr. Valdez and his team exceeded my expectations. I had past experiences with another plastic surgeons, but Dr. Valdes has been by far the best one. He is very detail oriented, caring, and approachable, without a doubt a leading professional in the field. Dr. Valdez and his team have been supportive and available throughout the entire process, which is before, during and long after my procedure. I can truly say it was worth having to travel to another country to accomplish my dream of looking younger. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Valdez on your next trip to Cancun! Thank you very much to Dr. Valdez and also to My Medical Vacation team. You guys are awesome!!

Everything was excellent from day one. Almost a year ago, I had my first consultation appointment. I wasn’t sure about having surgery, and I also wasn’t sure about the size. Most of all, not being able to exercise felt like torture for me! When I finally decided to move forward, it was because I was completely confident in the doctor. He was the only one who measured absolutely everything! On top of that, he was always patient with me — I think he saw me almost four times before I decided on the exact date.

Now it has been exactly one month since the surgery, and I don’t regret anything at all! In fact, I already want another surgery 😂 Everything went by very quickly. The operation was very fast, my recovery was incredible. By the second day I was already driving, I had no pain, and now my scar is not visible.

I recommend and would recommend Dr. Valdez a thousand times. The result is very natural and very beautiful!

Over the course of 9 years I have been going to Dr.Valdez for all my esthetic concerns. From a Full extended tummy tuck in 2016 to liposuction of my back with a BBL in 2017 ,a breast lift / deformity correction and implants and upper blepharoplasty in 2018. Endoscopic browlift, deep plane lip lift and lower blepharoplasty in 2024 to now, October of 2025 for my arm lift. Dr. Valdez has always exceeded all my expectations. I have had excess skin and fat hanging from my upper arms since losing considerable weight in my mid 20’s. Now, after having lost a little more weight and factoring in the aging process ( I am currently 54) losing muscle mass and skin elasticity ,i t has become even more heavy, uncomfortable, and now with creypey unsightly skin. It didn’t bother me to the point of hiding or covering my arms but it has now become uncomfortable with the excess skin rubbing when I would walk.Tight sleeves in tops etc. Since Dr. Valdez has always skillfully and successfully done all my previous surgeries, it was a no brainer to have him do my arm lift. Being Canadian and researching the prices at home, having surgery in Cancun was so much more affordable and although the price was much better I needed to be sure I would have a board certified, skilled, reputable and ethical surgeon perform the surgery. I think it speaks volumes about Dr. Valdez’s reputation and surgical skills that I have returned to Cancun over the past 9 years for all my procedures. I am beyond thrilled with how my arms look even immediately after surgery. The placement of the incisions, how fine a line it is and once the incisions have healed and flattened out, they will fade to a pale line that will be barely noticeable just like all my other surgical scars. Dr. Valdez is a true artist. I highly recommend him and I don’t trust anyone else.

Hi there, I am very happy with Dr. Valdez. I felt very safe, and I now look 25 years younger. I had a deep plane face and neck lift, and everything is perfect. I can truly say he is the best. I have seen many bad facelifts in the USA and Mexico, but I will always go to Dr. Arturo Valdez.

Dr Valdez performed a deep plane facelift on me in June 2025. I have nothing but positive feedback. Prior to arrival Dr. Valdez answered all my questions and face timed me personally a couple times to talk through my procedure. Pre op was incredible. I was went through extensive testing (blood tests, xrays, EKG, you name it) all to ensure I was healthy enough for the surgery and to make sure he was aware of my health in general. I was met at the airport and provided private transfers, he contracted team of RN’s that took care of all my needs. They picked me up at my condo and took me to all my appointments, they visited me every day to make sure all was OK, they answered any questions I on medications, they even came and washed my hair post op. Seriously, I’ve never been taken care of so much. The nurses were very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English…I can’t say enough. Dr Valdez is very skilled, my facelift is amazing! People really don’t even notice I’ve had surgery because I look the same, only younger. If someone sees me they usually comment on how I never age lol. I have never met a surgeon who cares as much about you as he does for you. I had a fair amount of anxiety before I met with him personally but after my first in person meeting, I felt confident I was in the best care. I overnighted in the Ameri med hospital and also can’t say enough about the experience. I had a private nurse stay the entire night with me. I was never alone and my every need met personally and immediately. I had a very positive experience and outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Valdez to anyone.

I recently had an endoscopic brow lift, upper & lower blepharoplasty, deep place face/neck lift by Dr. Valdez. My experience with him and his entire staff was exceptional. From my very first consultation through every follow-up appointment, I felt completely cared for, informed, and supported. Dr. Valdez is not only a highly skilled plastic surgeon, but also incredibly patient and kind. He took the time to explain each step of the process and always made sure I felt comfortable with my decisions. I also want to highlight his amazing team. Every staff member I met was professional, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to patient care. The coordination of my care was seamless. I am very happy with my results and am so glad I chose Dr. Valdez to perform my facial rejuvenation. As a retired RN, I highly recommend Dr. Valdez and his team to anyone considering plastic surgery. Their combination of expertise, bedside manner, and true compassion is outstanding.

A year ago, I had surgery performed by Dr. Arturo Valdez. I want to share how grateful I am. From the very first moment, he gave me confidence, clarity, and a compassionate approach that made the entire process much easier. The surgery was a success, and now, a year later, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you, Doctor, for your professionalism and for supporting me with such dedication. My experience with you was excellent.

I received a facelift, brow lift and neck lift from Dr. Valdez and I’m extremely happy with my results. I was very self conscious about my jowls, frown lines and wrinkled neck and now I feel so much more confident. He and his staff are friendly, helpful and professional. All of the medical facilities are the finest quality. I would definitely go to him again for any future surgery needs. Real Self Review

Dr. Arturo is very professional. He answers all your questions and, above all, gives you the confidence you need. From my first consultation to the last (after a year), everything was wonderful. The operation went incredibly well, and the best part is that I look and feel happy. My surgery was a breast augmentation, and Dr. Arturo truly left me feeling amazing. The best surgeon!

100% amazing experience. From start to finish I felt confident and safe with the team of Dr. Valdez. The Amerimed Hospital and staff and surgery team made me feel comfortable and at ease. (I even liked the food).

During recovery I saw the Dr. every 2-3 days and the mobile nursing staff was available to me everyday. They took care of my schedule and my medication. All I needed to do was settle in and start to heal. Real Self Review

My experience with Dr. Valdez was amazing from start to finish. He has a professional team that works alongside him to make sure all the logistics (like the shuttle from the airport and transportation to all the appointments are taken care of and included in the price of the surgery). He performed surgery on my eyes and I am very satisfied with the results. Read Full Review on Real Self.

I am absolutely ecstatic with my Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, and Forehead Lift with Dr. Valdez in Cancun! He completely exceeded my expectations, and my results are phenomenal. Knowing he’s a member of the prestigious Aesthetic Society, with its rigorous US-based continuing education and safety protocols, gave me immense confidence. His unique techniques, including his approach to minimizing post-op swelling and bruising — I barely looked like I had surgery the next day — truly set him apart. The nursing staff was outstanding, providing daily, fun, and attentive care at my hotel. This entire experience was beyond amazing! Read Full Review on Real Self.

This was my third procedure with Dr. Valdez — a breast reduction, two liposuction rounds, and a deep neck lift — and each time has only deepened my trust in his incredible skill, care, and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend him; he’s not just a gifted surgeon, but someone who truly listens and delivers results that consistently go beyond what you’d expect.

Affectionate419139

For 14 years and three surgeries, Dr. Valdez has been my trusted surgeon. He’s caring, compassionate, and gives truly honest advice — I’ll never forget him guiding me away from unrealistic expectations, prioritizing my health over a ‘sale.’ He took the time to know me as a person, not just a patient, and helped me make life-changing decisions that gave me my confidence back. I used to hide, but now, I’m a different person, and I’ll forever be grateful to Dr. Valdez and his amazing team. If you’re considering a procedure, put your trust in him; I did, and I’ve never been happier.

Choosing to have a procedure in another country can be daunting, but Dr. Valdez made the entire process comfortable. His professional credentials, along with the extensive reviews and photos, gave me confidence, and doing my homework proved it was one of my best decisions. He was incredibly thorough leading up to my surgery, and the results have exceeded my expectations. The aftercare was equally meticulous; I felt completely taken care of from arrival in Cancun until my departure. Even four months later, he’s still checking on my beautifully healing scars. I can’t recommend Dr. Valdez enough to anyone seeking a talented surgeon and a truly great experience. Read Full Review on Real Self

After finding facelift prices in the U.S. unaffordable, my research led me to Dr. Valdez in Cancun. Despite initial nerves about international surgery, his positive reviews and the reassuring team, especially Betty, convinced me he was the right choice—and I was absolutely correct. Dr. Valdez is not only a professional, talented, and expert surgeon but also incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative. I truly felt I couldn’t have been in better hands.

His entire team is fabulous, from the superb anesthesiologist who kept me safe and comfortable, to the kind surgical nurses and efficient office staff. My Medical Vacations flawlessly handled lodging and transportation for 21 days, including all appointments, groceries, and excellent nursing visits from Ana and Marlen—all included in the price, which truly amazed me.

Best of all, I adore my results! I look like myself 15 years ago, only better, with glowing skin and a taut neck and jawline. The recovery process showed clear progress daily, and even people close to me can’t tell I had surgery. My fears about facial cosmetic surgery were completely dispelled by Dr. Valdez and his amazing team. Thank you all!” Read Full Review on Real Self

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! Review on Real Self.
