Facial Surgery and Harmony Procedures
The practice treats the face in sections to balance proportions between the forehead, nose, and chin. Surgical plans follow a photographic analysis and candidacy evaluation. Dr. Cravioto declines surgery for patients with low hair density or poor scalp elasticity.
Frontoplastia, or forehead reduction, is a signature procedure at the clinic. It addresses the upper third of the face by repositioning the hairline to reduce forehead height. Surgeons place the incision inside the hairline, so it stays hidden during early recovery. The procedure takes about 2 hours. Sutures come out between 12 and 14 days after surgery.
Rhinoplasty at the center includes several surgical and non-surgical options:
- Rinoplastia de Armonía: A modern surgical approach to modify the nasal bridge, tip, and alar wings.
- Open Rhinoplasty: Used for complex structural corrections, including nasal hump removal and asymmetry adjustment.
- Functional Rhinoplasty: Addresses breathing issues alongside cosmetic changes.
- Rhinomodeling: A non-surgical alternative using hyaluronic acid fillers for temporary contouring.
Surgical rhinoplasty typically lasts 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. Most patients are observed for a few hours, then discharged the same day. Recovery involves a rigid external splint and staged follow-ups to monitor swelling.
Aesthetic Medicine and Regenerative Support
Aesthetic medicine services complement surgical results or offer standalone skin quality improvements. The practice offers injectable exosome therapy for hair loss. These exosomes come from adipose stem cells (ASC) to deliver growth factors and capillary nutrition.
The clinic provides several non-surgical facial treatments:
- Fractional CO2 Laser to improve skin texture, firmness, and luminosity.
- Botox injections for forehead balance and wrinkle reduction.
- Biostimulators and skin boosters for deep hydration.
- Deep facelift and brow lift procedures for sagging tissue.
Injectable treatments like fillers and Botox maintain facial balance rather than replace surgery. Each aesthetic plan is personalized based on realistic cosmetic goals.
Services for International Patients
Zafir Medical Center treats patients from beyond Mexico through a structured consultation process. International patients can access virtual consultations to discuss treatment goals and candidacy before traveling. The clinic provides guided recovery support with instructions for returning to daily activities and exercise. Follow-up care is staged to ensure proper scar integration and long-term results.
