Are fillers safe in Tijuana?

The safety relays on the products used and who is injecting them. If you go to Tijuana, first you need go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist, check your physician has extensive experience injecting fillers, also ask for before and after photos of his/her work, so you can have an idea about the results. Very important is to check what product the doctor will suggest for your case, the possible duration of the results, the amount needed for your case, the possible side effects and contraindications. Most of the fillers used in the U.S. are available in Mexico, like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, etc, and those are imported in Mexico and they are approved by the FDA in the U.S. There are some fillers available in Mexico that are not available in the U.S. yet like Juvederm Volbella or Juvederm Volift, but them are approved in Europe.

Although there are many great doctors around the world, the US has some safety measures in place that other places do not.  First, the FDA is pretty tough on what can be injected into the face for cosmetic improvements. There are hundreds of unapproved and sometimes harmful fillers available throughout the world. Second, Medical Boards and Specialty Boards credential physicians who have had proper training.  The best and safest thing to do is choose a physician well established in your community,  who is board certified in dermatology or plastic surgery and uses FDA approved fillers obtained from the manufacturer.  Sadly there are counterfeit fillers out there that are sold at very low prices.  If the cost is too good to be true, well you know the rest.

The same fillers are available worldwide; however unless you know exactly what to look for, you may not get a proper injection.  Generally it's not a good idea to do injections when you are traveling since it's not practical to go back if you have any questions, concerns or any corrections are needed.  That would not be cost-effective.
