Dr. Hurtado's clinical interests span three main areas. Dr. Hurtado works across deep plane facelift surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery, giving Dr. Hurtado's practice a broad aesthetic and reconstructive scope.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Hurtado approaches this procedure with attention to the natural structures of the face, aiming for balanced rejuvenation.

Unlike older methods that pulled only on the surface, the deep plane approach lifts the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). This is what allows for softer, longer-lasting results.

Guadalajara, where Dr. Hurtado practices, is Mexico's second-largest city and a growing hub for medical care. It offers a combination of skilled surgeons, modern hospital infrastructure, and a rich cultural setting.

Dr. Hurtado's work on facial aging addresses the underlying causes of a tired or sagging appearance. Rather than masking these changes, the deep plane technique aims to restore the face to a more youthful and rested position.

Dr. Hurtado also performs a wide range of body procedures. These include the Brazilian Butt Lift, liposuction, liposuction with etching, mommy makeover, thigh lift, and tummy tuck, according to their practice website.

Their breast surgery offerings cover implants, lifts, reductions, and reconstruction. This range reflects a practice built around comprehensive aesthetic and reconstructive care.

Recovery is a subject Dr. Hurtado's practice treats with care and realistic expectation-setting. Patients are guided through each stage of healing, from the first swollen days to the gradual emergence of final results over several months.

Dr. Hurtado maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle dr.rafaelhurtado. This gives prospective patients a window into Dr. Hurtado's aesthetic style and the kinds of transformations Dr. Hurtado performs.

Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport.

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. Hurtado provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Hurtado can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
