What makes Marroquín & Sandoval different from other plastic surgery clinics in Mexico?

Marroquín & Sandoval is a single-specialty clinic, meaning every procedure, every surgeon, and every protocol is focused exclusively on plastic surgery. There are no general medicine departments, no competing specialties, and no split focus.

Both surgeons trained at the same institution, the Instituto de Cirugía Reconstructiva Dr. José Guerrerosantos in Jalisco, one of Mexico's most prestigious plastic surgery training programmes. 

The clinic has performed 1,100+ rhinoplasties and 900+ facelifts. Post-operative follow-up is conducted personally by the operating surgeon, not delegated to support staff, which is cited in patient reviews as a distinguishing characteristic rarely found at comparable price points in the USA.

What happens if I have a complication after returning home?

Post-operative monitoring continues directly with your surgeon via WhatsApp after you return home.

Dr. Marroquín reviews recovery photos at intervals and provides clinical guidance on healing, swelling, and activity. 

If a concern requires formal clinical assessment, the My 1Health support team can assist with coordinating a remote consultation or connecting you with appropriate local care in your home country.
