Benefits of Choosing Tijuana
There are many advantages of traveling down to Tijuana for your cosmetic surgery.
- The border city is just twenty minutes away from San Diego, which means California citizens do not have to travel far to achieve a Hollywood look.
- According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49.9 million U.S. citizens do not have health insurance. Even with health insurance, only certain plastic surgery procedures are covered. Plastic surgery costs here are typically much lower than they are in the United States, so you do not have to worry about health insurance coverage.
- Hospitals in Mexico often have plastic surgeons who are certified to perform cosmetic procedures in the United States. You will be getting the same medical standards as you would in the United States.
- Patients recovering from cosmetic surgery can enjoy the warm weather and beautiful Mexican beaches. In their free time, they can visit shops that sell inexpensive jewelry and pottery. The sunny climate and relaxing atmosphere can help patients recover more quickly after surgery.
- If you are self-conscious about the temporary swelling from plastic surgery, you do not have to worry. You will be out of the country, and there will be many other patients who are recovering from plastic surgery.

Some Handy Tips for Cosmetic Surgery Trip
While millions of US citizens safely travel to Mexico every year, the U.S. Department of State warns that some parts of the border town can be unsafe. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your trip:
- Stay in tourist designated areas. While criminals in Mexico do not target tourists, you run the risk of being a victim in narcotic-related activities if you venture beyond the tourist areas. Many hospitals are located in or around resort areas to ensure your safety.
- Obtain a quote for your cosmetic surgery procedure, and verify it with a staff member at the hospital you want to visit. Do not sacrifice quality for a lower price.
- Conduct thorough research on plastic surgeons and hospitals in Mexico before you go.
- Do not drink water from the tap. If you are at a beach resort, you can safely drink the water and eat the fruits and vegetables provided at meals. Outside of the resort, do not drink unbottled water or eat raw produce.
