What to Expect During Your Consultation with Dr. Valdez
Whatever brought you to Dr. Valdez, your video consultation is the starting point. It’s intentionally focused, he listens to what matters to you and shares his recommendations for which procedures will achieve the outcomes you’re looking for. Whether that’s eyelid surgery, a brow lift, a facelift, or a combination, he’ll tell you what he thinks is needed and why. If something comes up that changes the picture, he’ll tell you honestly, even if that means surgery isn’t the right path. For more, explore our testimonials and video reviews, or search Dr. Valdez on TikTok, where patients share their journeys in their own words. Once you’ve arrived in Cancun, you’ll have a second in-person consultation before surgery that will be the time to ask final questions and review the plan face to face.

"Dr. Valdez performed a deep plane facelift on me. He answered all my questions and FaceTimed me personally to talk through my procedure. He's very skilled—my facelift is amazing. People don't even notice I've had surgery because I look the same, only younger. I've never met a surgeon who cares as much about his patients."
