Is It Safe to Have Plastic Surgery in Tijuana Mexico Vs USA?

I think that you are asking a question that is far too general to answer with any accuracy. In other words, I'm sure there are “safe” places to have surgery in Tijuana and unsafe places to have surgery in the United States ( and vice versa).The fact that you are asking the question leads me to think that you have reasons to be concerned...

In regards to selecting a plastic surgeon, I would suggest that you with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.

Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices  concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask  to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.


You will find,  while doing your due diligence,  that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you;  again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  

I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery;  keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.


 Best wishes.

 

There are many talented Mexican PSs, however there is no way to know the dangerous from safe. The American Board of Plastic Surgery created the idea of "Board Certified" to protect patients. I would tell anyone seeking travel surgery two things. There are equalling good plastic surgeons in the US. There are options to save money in the US, such as Senior Resident and Fellow Cosmetic Clinics. See link below for an example. 

Both places are good if you go with a certified plastic surgeon. The patients who decided go for plastic surgery in Mexico , do not usually have the possibility of surgery performed in the United States even if they want.Tijuana Mexico is an option for proximity to the border with San Ysidro California, for ease or low payment, or because a friend's recommendation.If you decide to have a surgery out of your country , do your medical research very well , in Mexico there is an association that control us . Please questions them about the certificates of the doctors you choose.Dr. SiglerBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
