Clear Your Doubts: Everything You Need to Know About Plastic Surgery in Tijuana
If you’re thinking about getting plastic surgery in Tijuana but still have questions, you’re not alone. At Evoclinic, we believe every patient deserves clarity, honesty, and confidence in their decision. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about having cosmetic procedures done in Tijuana, Mexico—including safety, costs, travel, and recovery.

1. Is plastic surgery safe in Tijuana, Mexico?
Yes, it is safe—as long as you choose a certified and reputable clinic like Evoclinic. Tijuana has become a top destination for medical tourism because of its advanced healthcare infrastructure, experienced surgeons, and strict regulations from COFEPRIS (Mexico’s version of the FDA). Our facilities meet international standards and our surgeons are board-certified with years of specialized training.
2. Why is plastic surgery cheaper in Tijuana than in the U.S.?
Plastic surgery in Tijuana can cost up to 70% less than in the U.S., not because of lower quality, but because Mexico has a lower cost of living, lower administrative expenses, and more competitive healthcare pricing. At Evoclinic, we use top-tier materials, accredited operating rooms, and certified specialists—delivering excellent results at a fraction of the price.
3. What are the most popular procedures for international patients?
Some of the most requested plastic surgeries at Evoclinic include:
- Breast augmentation
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction (including Lipo 360)
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
- Rhinoplasty (nose job)
- Facelift
- Mommy Makeover
We offer combination packages to address multiple areas in one single trip.
4. What’s included in an all-inclusive plastic surgery package in Tijuana?
Evoclinic offers complete packages that include:
- Pre-operative blood work and medical evaluation
- Surgery performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon
- Medication and supplies for post-op care
- Hotel accommodations in a secure, modern facility
- Private transportation between airport, hotel, and clinic
- Bilingual care team for full assistance
These packages are designed to provide peace of mind and eliminate hidden costs.
5. How long do I need to stay in Tijuana after surgery?
This depends on your procedure, but most patients stay between 5 to 10 days. This allows time for initial recovery, drainage removal (if needed), and post-op follow-up appointments. Our recovery coordinators help you every step of the way so you can rest and heal comfortably.
6. Is Tijuana safe for medical tourism?
Yes. Tijuana is one of the busiest medical tourism hubs in the world, welcoming over a million patients every year. Most clinics, like Evoclinic, are located in Zona Río—a secure medical and business district. Our team arranges private transportation, and our hotel partners are vetted for comfort and safety.
7. Do I need a passport or visa to travel for surgery?
If you are a U.S. or Canadian citizen, a valid passport is required. A visa is not necessary for medical visits under 180 days. Many patients fly into San Diego and we provide ground transportation directly to our facilities in Tijuana through the medical lane for a faster, stress-free crossing.
8. Can I finance my surgery or pay in installments?
Yes. We offer flexible payment options and financing through trusted third-party providers for both Mexican and U.S. patients. You can apply for pre-approval and schedule your surgery once your payment plan is in place. Ask our coordinators for help with the process.
9. Will language be a barrier?
Not at all. Our entire team—from surgeons to nurses and coordinators—speak fluent English and Spanish. We specialize in caring for international patients and will make sure you feel understood and comfortable at every step of your journey.
10. How do I know if I’m a good candidate for plastic surgery?
The best way to know is by scheduling a free virtual consultation. We’ll review your goals, medical history, and expected outcomes. In general, good candidates are in stable health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to improve specific aspects of their appearance with the help of a qualified plastic surgeon.
More Frequently Asked Questions
Are the surgeons in Tijuana really certified and experienced?
Yes. Reputable clinics like Evoclinic only work with board-certified plastic surgeons who have completed years of specialized training and have performed hundreds (or thousands) of procedures. Our surgeons are members of recognized medical associations in Mexico and internationally, and they continually update their skills with the latest surgical techniques.
What’s the recovery process like after plastic surgery in Tijuana?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure, but all patients receive detailed post-op instructions. We provide a compression garment, medications, and follow-up care during your stay. You’ll likely experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days, but our care team monitors you closely to ensure you recover safely and comfortably.
Can I combine multiple procedures in one trip to Tijuana?
Yes, that’s actually very common! Procedures like mommy makeovers combine a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast enhancement into a single surgery. This saves time, reduces total recovery periods, and makes the most of your trip to Tijuana. During your consultation, our surgeon will determine if your body and health allow for a safe combination of treatments.
