Facelift Mexico Specialist: Dr. Alejandro Enriquez de Rivera Campero

Understanding Rhytidectomy (Facelift Surgery in Mexico)
Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a Facelift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the facial appearance. It addresses the effects of gravity and time by tightening underlying muscles and deep tissue layers while carefully repositioning or removing excess skin and fat in the face and neck.
Facial aesthetic surgery in Mexico can achieve a rejuvenated look by vertically lifting the cheeks, softening prominent facial lines, and restoring natural harmony to the contours of the lower face. Patients often notice an improvement in the definition of their jawline, chin, and cheek areas.
For a comprehensive rejuvenation plan, Rhytidectomy at Eláen Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Center is often integrated with complementary procedures, such as cosmetic surgery for the upper or lower eyelids (Blepharoplasty) or a brow lift to address forehead contours.
Potential Benefits of a Personalized Facial Rejuvenation Plan:
The benefits of a customized surgical plan guided by our specialist, Dr. Alejandro Enriquez de Rivera Campero, may include:
- A refined, naturally rested, and younger-looking appearance.
- Restoration of volume and fullness to the cheeks.
- Vertical repositioning of sagging cheeks, countering the effects of gravity.
- Subtle elevation of the corners of the lips and softening of prominent facial lines.
- Improvement in the definition of the jawline and chin contour.
Our Advanced Protocols: Anesthesia and Lifting Techniques
Our lead board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Alejandro Enriquez de Rivera Campero, utilizes a specialized protocol designed for enhanced safety and natural results:
Twilight Sedation: A Patient-Centric Anesthesia Method
We prioritize the use of Twilight Sedation for Rhytidectomy. This technique involves a mild dose of targeted anesthesia to induce anxiety relief and relaxation. The patient remains comfortably sedated and breathes independently, monitored closely by our board-certified MD anesthesiologist.
Why Twilight Sedation? This technique is crucial for achieving a truly natural-looking result. During the procedure, the surgeon can gently communicate with the patient, asking for simple cues like smiling or turning the head. This interactive communication allows the surgeon to reposition the facial and neck tissues while the face is in its natural, resting tone, helping to ensure the final result preserves your genuine expression and aims to avoid an artificially pulled appearance often associated with full general anesthesia.
Advanced Lifting and Customized Safety Protocols
Dr. Enriquez de Rivera Campero utilizes a comprehensive surgical strategy, often employing a DEEP PLANE or SMAS lifting technique to tighten the underlying Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. This advanced approach effectively tightens the jowls, neck, and cheeks, aiming for a natural, rejuvenated position.
Following the deep tissue repositioning, we often incorporate the use of Tisseel Fibrin Sealant (an FDA-approved tissue adhesive) on the underside of the skin flap.
The Benefits of Fibrin Sealant and Customized Drain Management
The application of Tisseel fibrin sealant is an important component of our protocol, aimed at promoting a more patient-friendly recovery and achieving refined aesthetic results.
Key advantages of the sealant include:
- Optimized Tissue Adhesion: The sealant helps the skin flap adhere securely to the underlying tissue.
- Reduced Post-Operative Effects: It helps minimize the risk of fluid collection (seroma) and often leads to less swelling and reduced localized discoloration, which supports a more rapid initial recovery.
- Enhanced Precision: The sealant allows for a more precise adaptation of the skin flap, contributing to a more defined contour, particularly along the jawline.
Crucially, while the use of fibrin sealant often negates the need for drains, our protocol remains centered on patient safety above all else. We maintain the clinical flexibility to utilize surgical drains in selected cases where our lead surgeon determines it is the safest and most responsible measure for the individual patient’s anatomy, surgical extent, or potential fluid accumulation risk. This decision is always made on a case-by-case basis to ensure the most secure and predictable healing process for you.
Post-Operative Recovery and Your Next Steps
Following your procedure, we require a comfortable overnight stay in our hospital suite for direct monitoring. Patients are advised to moderate physical activity for the first two weeks, avoiding strenuous efforts.
Because our protocol avoids the use of surgical drains, only a light bandage is applied on the day of surgery and removed the following day. We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions, including the use of cold compresses and prescribed homeopathic or analgesic medication to manage minor pain, swelling, and bruising.
