Is it safe to get fillers in Tijuana? Are they the same fillers used in the U.S.?
Answer: Safe fillers 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.

Answer: Safety of Fillers in Tijuana Would you go back to Tijuana to follow up with your injector should you develop complications or need touch ups, etc? Far too often I have dealt with complications of patients who have received Fillers, Botox, or even surgery in places like Tijuana. They always end up spending more to fix their problems. There is far more to these treatments than just cost.

Answer: Fillers in Other Countries My suggestion is to go to US trained physicians with FDA approved products as there is a different level of approval and standard here in the US. There may be great injectors and surgeons elsewhere, but I suggest only going to the best. Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fillers in Tijuana? Hi Poizon. You may find a good injector and you may not. The difference is that the US has a well developed court system that protects the rights of consumers when malpractice occurs. If the Tijuana MD is ordering their product from China and injects something that causes a problem, you will have a much more difficult time with medical malpractice recourse. Because of this fact, US physicians are motivated to do things in a way that avoid medical malpractice issues. This means they offer safe injection procedures with FDA approved and US purchased product.

Answer: Why go anywhere else The big question is why ? Why would you go to TJ when you have it all in your backyard. I personally would not trust anything injected in my face in TJ. Good luck.
