Procedure · Tijuana

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in Tijuana

Removal of excess abdominal skin and fat with tightening of the underlying muscle, often after significant weight loss.

What the procedure involves

Under general anaesthetic, commonly with one or two nights of monitoring.

Before

Work-up, and stopping nicotine well in advance because it materially affects healing.

After

Drains, compression garments and restricted activity for weeks. Do not plan to fly home immediately.

Trips across the border

This normally fits into a single trip. Sequencing matters more than the headline price: two extra round trips can eat a large part of what you save. How the crossing works.

Questions patients actually ask

How many trips to Tijuana does tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) take?

Usually one trip, though that depends on what the imaging shows once you're in the chair. Ask for the plan in writing before you travel.

What should I get in writing before I travel?

A written quote that lists each stage, the materials being used, what the price includes and excludes, and what happens if something needs redoing. If a clinic won't put the plan in writing before you cross the border, that tells you something.

How do I know the doctor doing this is actually qualified?

Every doctor listed here has a specialty board certificate that was looked up in the CONACEM public registry, and the profile publishes its number, both validity dates and the date of the check, with a link so you can repeat it in about a minute. The federal licence to practise, the cédula profesional, is a separate layer: that registry sits behind a captcha, so it is checked by hand at sign-up and each profile says plainly whether it has been confirmed.
