Question 1

How much does plastic surgery cost in Tijuana?

Accepted Answer

Your all-inclusive price depends on the procedure and your plan. Your price is given in writing and bundles the surgeon, anesthesiologist, hospital, nursing, recovery stay, airport transfers and follow-up visits.

Question 2

Is Tijuana safe for plastic surgery?

Accepted Answer

Safety depends on the surgeon, the facility and the aftercare, not the country. Our safety page lists exactly what we do — hospital surgery, a dedicated anesthesiologist, fit-to-fly checks — and what can go wrong and how we handle it.

Question 3

Who is the best plastic surgeon in Tijuana?

Accepted Answer

We won't rank ourselves. Evaluate any surgeon the same way: verify board certification with CMCPER, ask where surgery happens and who gives anesthesia, and read dated, source-linked reviews. Our surgeons' credentials are listed in full on their profiles.

Question 4

Is plastic surgery cheaper in Mexico than in the US?

Accepted Answer

Yes — mainly because facility, staffing and malpractice costs are lower, and our quotes bundle items that are billed separately in the US. The implants, instruments and anesthesia standards are the same brands and protocols.

Question 5

How do I get from San Diego to the clinic?

Accepted Answer

The clinic is in Zona Río, about 15 minutes past the San Ysidro border. Most patients fly into San Diego (SAN); a driver meets you at arrivals and crosses the border with you. Bring a passport or passport card for the return crossing.

Question 6

How many days do I stay in Tijuana?

Accepted Answer

From 3 nights for smaller procedures to 7 for a mommy makeover or body lift. Every procedure page lists its minimum stay, and we do not clear patients to fly home early.

Question 7

What happens if I have a problem after I get home?

Accepted Answer

Call the on-call line first — your coordinator and the surgeon check in at 2, 6 and 12 weeks. For an emergency, go to the nearest emergency department and have them call us; the full protocol is on our safety page.

Question 8

Do I need to visit before surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. The video call replaces the first visit; you are examined in person the day before surgery, and the plan is confirmed then.

Question 9

What if the surgeon changes the plan after examining me?

Accepted Answer

Any change is explained and your written estimate is revised before surgery. Nothing changes on the day without your agreement.

Question 10

Can I recover in San Diego instead?

Accepted Answer

For some smaller procedures, yes, if you can return for the day-5 check. For larger procedures we require the stay in Tijuana.

Question 11

What documents do I need?

Accepted Answer

A valid passport or passport card for re-entry to the US; for Canadians, a passport.

Question 12

Who do I call if I have a problem at home?

Accepted Answer

Your coordinator and the surgeon's on-call line, 24 hours a day. We also coordinate with your home physician when needed.
