I've visited Dr. Medina on two separate occasions. He has consistently shown professionalism and a realistic approach to the procedures. It's common for patients to have unrealistic expectations regarding surgery, but Dr. Medina has been clear and accurate about what to expect. I underwent a mini face lift, turkey waddle removal, and breast reduction/lift with implants. I'm considering returning for two additional services at the appropriate time. If you have any inquiries, feel free to reach out to Dr. Medina's office, and they can provide my direct contact information. Indeed, I shed the weight naturally, but the refinements were made possible by Dr. Medina. I'm aiming for two more visits, and then I believe I'll be finished. I acknowledge that my "ideal image" isn't entirely attainable, but dreaming is allowed. I'm maintaining my commitment to the gym, working out consistently. - Michelle M.
I’ve had two procedures done by Dr. Salvador Medina; liposuction with transfer to buttocks (most commonly known as BBL) and periareolar breast lift with implants. I cannot express my gratitude towards him and his amazing team, they provided so much help pre/post op. Dr. Medina is very honest when you go in for consultation, and gives you an honest professional opinion, answers all your questions, and ensures you’re feeling 100% comfortable for surgery. For both procedures, I was admitted to their hospital overnight to ensure I was properly healing before being discharged. Overall, I was treated with outmost care by the entire staff. If you’re looking for natural results and boost in confidence, definitely reach out to him. Most people are skeptical when visiting Tijuana for any surgical needs, but Dr. Medina is certified not only in one of the best school in Mexico but in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Always do your research when visiting a plastic surgeon, especially outside of the country. Best of luck Queens!
Excellent surgeon, he trutly cares for his patients, makes you feel save, I am very happy with my results. I had a breast reduction and I was very scared about the recovery process but Dr. Medina talked me through not feeling scared and comforted me. After my surgery, my recovery was amazing, I never felt intense pain he was very honest since day 1 about my surgery and made me feel I was making the right decision.
After bariatric surgery I had a lot of excess skin and had a 360 by another plastic surgeon. Post surgery I had years of complications. I was introduced to Dr. Medina and he came in and almost had to redo the 360. His knowledge and talent in bariatric patient plastic surgery is outstanding. I have yet to hear of any complaints from any of his patients and have seen many patient testimonials including before and after pictures which all were amazing. For over 15 years I moderated 6 bariatric groups and this bariatric group had his own plastic surgeon, but none could compare to Dr. Medina. I highly recommend Dr. Medina no matter who did your bariatric surgery. He's amazing, He's very talented, He's very friendly, He's very easy to talk to and all around a great guy. I wish I would have found him before I had my original 360.
I had 3 skin removal/reconstruction surgeries with Dr. Medina. He is an artist. I lost about 150 pounds and I didn’t know if my body would ever look “normal.” The first time I met Dr. Medina, I asked him if i would ever be able to wear a bikini. He looked and me for a second and I could tell he was thinking. Then he said: yes. Yes you will. This year I bought (and wore) my first bikini. Simply the best experience with him and his staff. He also happens to be an amazing human - BONUS!!
Dr Medina is truly an artist. From start to finish him and his staff were amazing! I couldn’t be happier! I’m almost 8 weeks postop and feel fabulous! So happy with Dr Marina’s work, I will be referring all my family & friends to him for any plastic surgeries.

I’m searched for about a year before I settled on dr Medina. I was traveling from Oregon and a bit nervous. Everything from being picked up from the airport to surgery was a breeze. A little about me…I carried twins to 38 weeks. I had a very large gap that I could never close in my abs even after physical therapy. So I decided to get the breast augmentation, tummy tuck with abdominal wall repair, and lipo. Dr Medina was very clear with realistic expectations. I was beyond thrilled with the outcome. I can questions after surgery for the next several weeks. He always answered me within a day. It’s been worth every penny. I’m considering going back for more lipo in the future. Love him!!
I have gone to Dr. Medina on two separate occasions. After losing over 100 pounds at the age of 50, I needed some excess skin removed. He thoughtfully listened to my concerns and carefully crafted a plan of action. I appreciate his honesty in regards to expectations. His team is all very personable and their new facility is beautiful with a great location.
Got several procedures done back in March. Love my results and will be returning in July for arms and breasts. Takes a few days to get a response but everyone is nice and caters to your needs. Overall, experience was good. Recovery has been a challenge but expected.

Hello Persistent123642. As you mentioned, there are some surgeons that specialize in massive weight loss surgery. It entails different techniques to address more extensive procedures and have the best outcome. Let me know if you would like more information. Dr. Medina
Hello Clare3343. I think you look great and don´t need a face lift yet. You have a straight jaw line, no jouls, no loose skin in cheeks or neck. You just need to keep taking care of your skin. Let me know if you woulk like more information Dr. Medina
Hello mlwatson1971. To rejuvenate your face, the best procedure would be a mid face and neck lift, upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer to the face. With these procedures we resposition the muscle layer of mid face and neck and readjust the excess skin. And we need to replenish the volume loss of the face with a fat transfer to the cheek bone, the nasolabial crease, the crease on the corner of the mouth and in the inferior eyelids. The combination of these procedures will have a great improvement and rejuvenation on your face and is the most long lasting treatment. Let me know if you woluld like more information. Thanks Dr. Medina
Hello Katz111. Needing a but lift depends on the elasticity of the skin, which is sometimes difficult to judge with a picture. Is you have not lost a lot of weight, it is probable that you do not need a posterior lift, and a liposuction of the back and flanks would be enough to enhance the butt. But if the elasticity of your skin is not adequate, a posterior lift, combined with liposuction and fat transfer would be the best option. Let me knos is you would like more information. Thanks Dr. Medina
Hello Hypersonic. After massive weight loss, the skin looses it elasticity, looses its support because of the fat loss. This will afect all our body, In the face we have loose and excess skin and an important volume loss. The ideal procedure is to reposition the muscle layer and skin to its original position and replace the volume loss with fat transfer to many areas in the face. This will rejuvenate your appearance and make you look great. Using only fillers usually doesn´t achieve good results because of the lax skin. Let me know if you would like more information.
