Plastic surgery in Tijuana, Mexico

Tijuana borders San Diego and is one of the most accessible medical destinations for US and Canadian patients.

Who this page is for

Patients researching Tijuana specifically as a destination for hospital-based plastic surgery.

Practical logistics

  • Cross-border coordination from San Diego airport (~15-minute drive to the facility).
  • Hospital-based operating environment with anesthesiology and ICU capability.
  • Bilingual patient coordination and structured follow-up.

What is the same regardless of geography

Board-certified surgeons, hospital-based operating suites, transparent complication policies, and structured follow-up apply the same way to every patient. Location changes the logistics; it does not change what matters clinically.
