Tell us what you notice in the mirror, what you hope to improve, and what matters most to you. We’ll create a personalized guide to help you prepare for a conversation with the TBC plastic surgery team.
Important: This tool is educational only. It does not diagnose facial aging or determine whether you are a candidate for surgery. A qualified plastic surgeon must review your anatomy, health history, previous treatments, and goals.
Answer a few questions about the changes you notice and what you hope to improve.
Select all that apply.
Your guide will organize your concerns and show which type of facial evaluation may be worth discussing.
Your answers will also be sent to the TBC team so a coordinator can follow up with information related to your goals and concerns.
This guide is educational only. A Deep Plane Facelift, neck procedure, nonsurgical treatment, eyelid/brow procedure, or another approach can only be recommended after a personalized medical evaluation.
An endoscopic approach uses a small camera and specialized surgical instruments to allow the surgeon to visualize deeper facial structures through strategically placed incisions.
In an Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift, the surgeon combines endoscopic visualization with deep-plane tissue repositioning.
The specific technique can vary according to:
The term “endoscopic” does not mean that the operation is nonsurgical or incision-free.
It remains facial surgery and requires appropriate medical evaluation, anesthesia, recovery, and postoperative follow-up.
The exact technique used for your procedure should be explained by Dr. Vargas Rocha as part of your personalized surgical plan.
Recovery varies according to the extent of the operation and whether other procedures are performed at the same time.
Patients can expect some degree of:
A dressing may be used around the face, and temporary drains may be required in some facelift procedures.
Specific instructions can include:
Swelling and bruising gradually improve.
Patients should avoid strenuous activity and follow the surgeon's instructions regarding movement, exercise, bending, lifting, and travel.
The face may look different during early healing because swelling does not resolve immediately.
Patients should therefore avoid judging the final result during the initial recovery period.
Many facelift patients plan their surgery around work, travel, family events, or social commitments.
The point at which someone feels comfortable appearing socially is different from the point at which the deeper tissues are completely healed.
Because bruising and swelling vary substantially, TBC should not promise a universal “back to normal” date.
Dr. Vargas Rocha should provide the patient's individual recovery and travel timeline after establishing the surgical plan.
Residual swelling can continue improving for weeks or months.
Incisions also continue maturing.
The final facial contour should be evaluated after the tissues have had sufficient time to settle rather than during the first postoperative days.
Your individual recovery instructions always take priority over general timelines found online.

The purpose of the consultation is to determine whether an Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift or another facial rejuvenation strategy may appropriately address the patient's concerns.
Facial surgery requires enough recovery time before an international patient returns home.
Tijuana Bariatric Center can help patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and other locations understand:
The required stay should be determined according to Dr. Vargas Rocha's surgical and postoperative protocol rather than using a generic medical-tourism timeline.
Considering facelift surgery does not mean wanting a different face.
For many patients, the goal is simply to address changes in the cheeks, jawline, lower face, or other areas that no longer reflect how they feel.
You do not need to decide whether you need a Deep Plane Facelift before requesting an evaluation.
Start by telling us what has changed and what you would like to preserve.
Our team can help organize the information Dr. Jesús Vargas Rocha needs to review your case and explain whether an Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift or another facial rejuvenation approach may deserve consideration.
