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

Medical tourism has become extremely popular because of the perception of lower cost.  However, any medical procedure comes with potential complications.  Traveling outside the country for plastic surgery poses risks beyond what I would consider acceptable.  Staying close to home and choosing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is the safest and most reliable option.  

I strongly recommend you do not have your surgery performed abroad. In addition to medical standards being quite different, your surgeon won't be in the same city as where you live once you return. If complications occur, you won't be able to see the best person to address them: your original surgeon. If you decide to go abroad anyway, please make sure you at least get a full report of your surgery so that you can give it to a surgeon in your city if a complication occurs. They'll have to know the details of your surgery in order to better diagnosis your possible complication.
