His educational path began at the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM), where he completed his medical degree. He then pursued a specialty in general and laparoscopic surgery before advancing into the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Soto Medina focuses on both facial and body aesthetic procedures, with facial rejuvenation forming a core part of his practice. His surgical offerings include the deep plane facelift, a technique that addresses deeper structural layers of the face rather than skin alone.

The deep plane facelift represents a more advanced approach to facial rejuvenation. Rather than simply tightening the skin surface, this method repositions the deeper muscle and connective tissue layers, producing results that many patients find more natural and longer lasting.

Dr. Soto Medina's practice reflects a broad surgical skill set that spans facial procedures, breast surgery, body contouring, and rhinoplasty. This range allows him to approach the face as part of overall aesthetic harmony.

His clinical documentation includes procedures such as chin implants combined with rhinoplasty and neck contouring, demonstrating an interest in comprehensive facial balance. This integrated view is valuable for patients seeking rejuvenation that considers the whole face.

Dr. Soto Medina is affiliated with the Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reconstructiva (AMCPER), a professional body for plastic surgeons in Mexico. Membership in national societies reflects engagement with the broader surgical community.

For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, the deep plane facelift addresses the natural changes of facial aging. As we age, the deeper support structures of the face descend, and this technique aims to restore them to a more youthful position.

Dr. Soto Medina practices in Ciudad Juárez, a major border city directly adjacent to El Paso, Texas. This location offers particular convenience for patients traveling from the United States who seek quality surgical care closer to home.

His approach emphasizes patient education and realistic expectations, a theme reflected in his public content addressing the difference between expectations and reality in surgical outcomes. Setting clear expectations is an important part of the surgical journey.

Dr. Soto Medina shares his surgical work and patient education content through his Instagram account, @drsotomedina. This gives prospective patients a window into his aesthetic philosophy and the range of procedures he performs.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically unfolds over several weeks, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding within the first two weeks. Dr. Soto Medina's practice supports patients through this process with guidance tailored to individual healing.

For patients weighing their options, Dr. Soto Medina represents an established surgical presence in the Ciudad Juárez region. His combination of board certification, professional affiliation, and focus on facial and body aesthetics positions him as a considered choice for deep plane facelift surgery.

Dr. Soto Medina and his team are amazing. I had an excellent experience. I especially enjoyed Dr. Barrazas knowledge and approach in discussing the anesthesia procedures. I am loving my results so far despite still being swollen. I highly recommend Dr. Soto Medinas’ team. You will not be disappointed. Update: I had my second surgery with Dr. Soto Medina and again, I can’t recommend him and his team enough. I’m loving my results and look forward to getting procedures done from him.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Soto Medina provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Soto Medina can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
