How Much Does Breast Implant Removal Cost in Tijuana?

Breast implant removal in Tijuana typically costs from $6,000. The total depends on whether you require a simple removal or a complex capsulectomy. Patients save approximately 32% compared to the US, where the average cost is $6,000. Local pricing often covers surgical fees, anesthesia, and facility charges.

  • Capsulectomy: Typically adds 20-30% to the base price to remove scar tissue.
  • Combined breast lift: Increases the budget when performed alongside explant for aesthetic shaping.
  • Board-certified experts: Ensure safety through CMCPER-certified surgical teams and sterile environments.
  • Logistical support: Many clinics bundle local ground transportation from the San Diego border.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Tijuana serves as Mexico's primary hub for aesthetic surgeries due to its direct border access. Surgeons like Dr. Rafael Camberos hold dual memberships in AMCPER and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). This alignment ensures US-standard protocols at Mexican price points. Choosing a board-certified specialist at PLASTIKS Plastic Surgery Center guarantees expertise in complex reconstructive techniques required for explant cases.

I was very comfortable and felt like the staff really cared about me
During my consultation, the surgeon personally did the markings and was very honest about where the scars from my full arm lift would be and their visibility. The procedure went well. The staff was excellent. They all took very good care of me including the recovery, and I was very comfortable and felt like the staff really cared about me. I am recovering from the surgery on both arms and feeling better than expected. The clinic has stayed in touch with a clear aftercare guide and is easy to reach. My only point for improvement would be pre-operative communication; for example, I didn’t realize I would be spending the night in the facility. A quick review of those key details beforehand would be helpful. The only additional cost was for my compression sleeve, which I was advised of in advance.

I don’t know if this was part of the clinic’s responsibility but I didn’t have a lot of information beforehand. For example, I didn’t realize I would be spending the night in the facility. This could be my fault for not reading the instructions adequately but I don’t remember anyone pointing this out. It would be a good idea maybe just to go over those things with someone like me

The surgeon and staff were supportive throughout
My main concern going into this was how difficult the recovery would be, and it is definitely a process. The surgeon and staff were supportive throughout. For my extended tummy tuck, they created a new position for my belly button, and my abdomen feels very tight now, which is a good sign. While my stomach is already looking flatter, it's still swollen. The biggest challenge by far is just standing up straight. My advice is to make sure your home is prepared for you to heal and recover in comfort. It really helps. Also, measure yourself before purchasing any faja or compression gear, as the sizes differ so much across different sites.
My coordinator, Carlo, was amazing. He was prompt with answers to any questions. Surgeon, Dr Ayala was very personable and friendly. Staff at clinic was nurturing.
Maybe some post recovery snacks would have been nice.

I'm relieved to say my incisions are already well-hidden behind my ears
My biggest worry beforehand was about scarring and the recovery process. I'm relieved to say my incisions are already well-hidden behind my ears. The surgeon performed a deep plane lift, and the result so far is a jawline with noticeable new definition. My neck feels comfortably snug, not painfully tight. The hardest part of recovery has been sleeping elevated, which is to be expected but still challenging. Overall, the process with the clinic and staff was very straightforward. My one tip for others would be to prepare your kitchen in advance: get soft foods and melons, fresh fruits or steam-able vegetables like carrots. You'll want to take small bites at first.
The surgery had to be delayed because I was not feeling well right after arriving at my hotel. I came from outside Mexico for the procedure. We were able to do it a week later, and I stayed extra days for the reschedule. The staff is great and very personable. On the phone I spoke to and messaged the Doctor's personal assistant, and he speaks and writes great English. On the day of surgery, I stayed overnight following the procedure, and my night nurse had her phone set up so we could speak, translating questions, answers, and instructions back and forth. The dinner was beverages, yogurt, freshly made grilled chicken with steamed vegetables, the morning breakfast was eggs, yogurt with melon for breakfast. I stayed in a private room. I saw Dr. Aguilera right after I was prepped for surgery by the anesthesiologist and two nurses, who introduced themselves. Dr. Aguilera met me in the operating room, before I was given the final dose of sleeping medication, and was the first person I saw, still in the operating room, when emerging from anesthesia. The following day, the doctor checked my sutures and gave me some advice about what to do and not to do, the following day. He was satisfied with my recovery, so my head and neck were wrapped up for the Uber ride back to my hotel apartment. We had a stove, microwave, dishes and a full refrigerator in the room where we were staying. This is so convenient for gel packs, fresh foods and juices. I felt extremely comfortable traveling home on a three-hour flight, 10 days after the operation. Based on my experience, Plan fourteen days, giving yourselves an opportunity to settle in will make for a much more gratifying experience. Mexico City is quite easy to travel around, and since it is high altitude, the best way to adjust is to see the city or neighborhood you live in as you prepare for your procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Aguilera; I am healing well, and I am happy with the results.
The internet reception is not good on the sidewalk in front of the building, probably due to the other tall buildings. Just make sure you have made any arrangements for pick-up in the office where the wi-fi is.

I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue
I had a really great experience with my doctor and care here. I wanted a very natural looking nose, not to look "doll-like" or like I had a rhinoplasty. Same for lip filler. I felt like both were done taking exactly what I wanted into account and the overall symmetry at the end for my nostrils was excellent - my nose had been broken and before surgery lack of symmetry was a big issue. I believe it required different degrees of cutting for each nostril so I'm very impressed that the end result's symmetry appears less than 1mm different from one another, that's a huge improvement from before. The shape is really nice and I was impressed that after surgery the packing was done in such a way that I was able to breathe through my nose the whole time, even during my recovery.

Their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria
First off, I used Aura Wellness Center, instead of Alice Beauty Clinic. And, their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria. Sara was the best English speaker there and helped me with everything. Maria was kind, warm, and also a great English speaker. They made it less lonely since I had this journey alone. Through Bookimed, I was assisted by Confidence, she was super thoughtful and checked up on me. She made sure I had connections with my medical coordinator and doctor. My coordinator was named Carlos. He was kind, answering all my questions and even texted me after my surgery numerous time to ensure I was recovering and satisfied with my results. My doctor was Dr. Ayala. I can't say much about him since he was in and out of the surgery room. I met him briefly. And, I'm unsure of my results as I am only one month post-op.
The staff at the clinic was accommodating. The coordinator from Bookimed and from the doctor ensured my questions were answered.
Dr. Ayala's brevity and lack of check up after the surgery. I didn't meet him more than 15 (when I was conscious since I was under anesthesia when he operated on me).

I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking at coming to Tijuana for medical care ❤️
From the moment I started this process with Laura, everything was seamless. All my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Any apprehensions I had about seeking care in a different country were not ignored. As I had questions about my surgery, I was able to talk with my surgeon to clarify which surgery would be best for the outcome I hoped for. I flew into San Diego and was met by Laura (transportation)who kept in contact throughout my stay and was wonderful! The clinic staff were kind, welcoming and professional. I am horrible with names otherwise I would give individual shout outs to each of them!! Laura Rodriguez ensured that everything went smoothly throughout my stay and answered all my question, made sure I always felt safe. My anesthesiologist listened to my concerns about problems with prior general anesthesia and came up with a solution to meet my needs. I believe my initial recovery went so much better due to this. I can’t say enough wonderful things about my surgeon! He listened to what my hopes for the outcome of my surgery were and absolutely exceeded all of my hopes! Thank you Dr Marquez, you are truly an artist! The hotel we stayed at prior to my surgery was beautiful, and the recovery suite provided amazing care! I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking at coming to Tijuana for medical care ❤️

I am 3 months post op and I have zero regrets
The experience I had with Dr Marroquin far exceed my expectations. I am an American living in Miami, FL. I inquired with surgeons locally before deciding to travel abroad for my deep plane face and neck lift with blepharoplasty. After extensive research I found Dr Marroquin, I read through all the patient testimonials I could find and looked at all his before and after photos. I reached out to him via Bookimed. At first I thought I was being scammed, the people at Bookimed did not speak very good english, I could tell I was communicating with a non native english or spanish speaker. The communications came in at weird hours of the day. After a few back and forth, I said I would not proceed any further without speaking with someone from Dr Marroquins office. That same day someone claiming to be Dr Marroquin contacted me on Whatsapp. I thought for sure it was a scam, so at first I ignored him. In Miami you would have to be dying in order for the surgeon to speak with you directly. I told him I was feeling uneasy and he suggested we set up a video call for later that day, I thought there is no way its going to be him on the phone, and sure enough it was him! He took his personal time on a Sunday to call me. We spoke for almost an hour, and at the end of that call I was 100% sure this was my doctor. He is so down to earth and approachable, he made me feel so at ease. I let him know the next day I wanted to proceed with the surgery, from that point on I only communicated with him. He helped me to schedule the surgery, my preop appointments and made recommendations for recovery houses. In less than a month I arrived in Guadalajara, he met with me the next day and we discussed the surgery in length. At that point I decided to add a lip lift to the procedure. I passed all my preop and had my surgery on August 26th. Dr Marroquin was amazing the day of surgery, he spoke to me in english (which he speaks very well), he made sure I understood every step of the process. Everything went very well, I spent the next 10 days in Mexico recovering at a recovery house. I spoke with Dr Marroquin every day while I was there. I had zero complications and flew home after 10 days to continue my recovery at home. I am 3 months post op and I have zero regrets. I speak with Dr Marroquin every few weeks and keep him updated on my progress with photos. If you are considering this surgery, I 100% recommend having a consultation with Dr Marroquin, he is an amazing doctor and human being.
I liked how personal the service was, I really got to know my doctor and felt 100% at ease with him.
I wish I would have waited for the recovery house I wanted to use to have availability. They were booked up so I decided to use another one that was not as highly rated. It was not a bad experience, but it could have been better.

This doctor is AWESOME
My biggest concern going into this was the recovery, especially after combining all four procedures. And it is tough. The diastasis recti repair is still very tender, and my biggest mobility challenge is just getting out of bed. It’s a slow process. That said, I can already see an amazing difference in my waist, and my entire torso, which makes the discomfort feel purposeful. This doctor is AWESOME. The support from the surgeon and the entire team was excellent. My most practical advice for other moms is that consistent help is essential for childcare. You will not be able to manage it alone.
This doctor is EXCELLENT. He’s certified, he’s up to date on all treatments. He is judicious and skilled at not just the Sufi al techniques but the aesthetics of the craft. His personality is calm and kind and his staff is supportive. I have had two procedures with him over these past three months and plan to make him ‘my doctor.’ Love this clinic!
Honestly, not really anything except for maybe a clearer structure of post-op recovery therapies and a liaison service or someone to help schedule them efficiently.

My experience with the surgeon, staff, and clinic has been very positive
If a friend was considering this, I'd tell them my experience with the surgeon, staff, and clinic has been very positive. At this point in my recovery, everything is feeling about as expected. The clinic team has stayed in touch, and I really appreciated that there were no additional expenses on top of what I initially paid. That was a relief. My main piece of advice would be to prepare well for your consultation. I would suggest asking for more time with the doctor before surgery and to bring pictures of what you’d like done specifically to make sure you're aligned.
I was assisted from beginning to end! Great price with a great and safe experience.

Even with initial swelling, the contouring from my full abdominoplasty and liposuction on my flanks is already so much better than expected
The thing that surprised me most was seeing my new waistline so early in the healing process. Even with initial swelling, the contouring from my full abdominoplasty and liposuction on my flanks is already so much better than expected. Recovery has its challenges. For me, the hardest part is that the drains are annoying, but I know that's temporary and part of the journey. My new belly button is healing nicely, which was a relief. The entire team at the clinic was excellent, from the surgeon to the nursing staff. It’s been a solid process so far.
I had a great experience with Dr. Marroquin and staff.
I was not given correct information about the required duration of my stay after surgery. I was also told I needed to lose a significant amount of weight after I booked the surgery and paid the deposit. I had already arranged my flights and hotel and had to reschedule because there was no possible way to lose that amount of weight in the original time frame.

My main concern was finding the right surgeon, and I'm happy with my choice for a deep plane facelift. The procedure addressed my full face and neck, and so far, my recovery is progressing about as expected. The clinic has been supportive, providing a clear aftercare guide and being easy to reach. Just note that my medications were an additional expense of $4000 pesos. My best advice: check reviews.

The journey has been positive so far
For anyone considering this surgery, I wanted to share my initial thoughts. I opted for the malleable (semi-rigid) implant. It's still very early in my recovery, so it's genuinely too early to tell what the final outcome will be, but the journey has been positive so far. The clinic environment was great, and I appreciated the friendly staff, which made a real difference in feeling comfortable. I was also pleased that there were no additional expenses on top of the price we agreed on. The clinic team has stayed in touch with me since the procedure, which is very reassuring. It was a solid experience.

FAQ about treatment in Mexico

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

How do I choose a qualified surgeon for breast implant removal in Tijuana?

To find a qualified surgeon for breast implant removal in Tijuana, check their board certification from the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (CMCPER). Choose a surgeon experienced in en bloc capsulectomy. The facility should have Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation.

  • Board certification: Look for current CMCPER certification and membership in the AMCPER professional association.
  • Surgical technique: Make sure the surgeon specializes in total capsulectomy to remove all scar tissue.
  • Hospital accreditation: Make sure the surgery takes place at a JCI- or GHA-accredited center, such as Hospital Cyntar.
  • Specialist portfolio: Ask for before and after photos of explant cases, not just augmentations.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows a big gap in credentials: many cosmetic surgeons lack residency training in plastic surgery. In contrast, surgeons like Dr. Rafael Camberos at PLASTIKS hold dual board certifications in Mexico. Choosing a specialist with that level of training at a center that treats over 400 patients a year means higher safety standards.

Patient Consensus: Patients stress the importance of telling the difference between cosmetic and plastic surgeons to avoid complications. They recommend checking how transparent the clinic is about ICU-level backup. Also avoid rushed consultations that feel sales-driven.

What is included in breast implant removal surgical packages in Tijuana?

Breast implant removal packages in Tijuana include surgical fees, anesthesia, facility charges, and essential post-operative care. Packages typically range from $6,000. That’s about 32% less than the $6,000 average cost in the United States.

  • Surgical essentials: Covers board-certified surgeon fees, anesthesiology, and operating room use.
  • Medical tests: Includes pre-operative lab work and necessary diagnostic screenings.
  • Recovery support: Typically bundles compression garments, post-op medications, and follow-up consultations.
  • Logistics: Features private ground transportation from San Diego International Airport.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Tijuana clinics like PLASTIKS Plastic Surgery Center emphasize surgeon credentials, such as Mexican Board of Plastic Surgery (CMCPER) certification. Data shows high-volume centers often bundle recovery boutique stays with nursing care. As a result, post-surgical monitoring is often more thorough than standard US outpatient protocols.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize verifying if a full capsulectomy is included to make sure tissue is fully removed. Most find the bundled cross-border transport greatly reduces the stress of traveling for surgery.

Where can I find reputable clinics for breast implant removal in Tijuana?

Reputable clinics for breast implant removal in Tijuana are in the Zona Rio medical district. They have board-certified surgeons at facilities like PLASTIKS Plastic Surgery Center and Hospital Cyntar. Safety is maintained through COFEPRIS approval and Mexican Council of Plastic Surgery (CMCPER) certifications.

  • Surgeon credentials: Dr. Rafael Camberos at PLASTIKS is board-certified by both CMCPER and AMCPER.
  • Hospital accreditation: Hospital Cyntar holds Joint Commission International (JCI) and Global Healthcare Accreditation certifications.
  • Pricing structure: Typical costs range from $6,000 for surgical explantation.
  • Safety protocols: Premium clinics provide full surgical capacity, including ICU and emergency care backing.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many local centers focus on aesthetics. However, choosing a JCI-accredited facility like Hospital Cyntar provides a significant safety advantage. Their multidisciplinary team manages over 1,000 international patients annually. With this volume, their team is highly proficient in complex surgical planning and post-operative care.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize the importance of verifying surgeons in the official AMCPER directory. They recommend choosing full-service hospitals over small clinics for emergency readiness during explant procedures.

Do I need to stay in Tijuana for a long time after breast implant removal?

Most patients stay in Tijuana for 3 to 7 days after breast implant removal. This window covers initial healing and a required follow-up check. The exact length depends on how complex the surgery is. Simple removals need less time than those that include capsulectomy or a breast lift.

  • Minimum stay: Plan for 3 to 5 days for simple implant removal without drains.
  • Complex recovery: Stay 7 to 10 days if you are having capsulectomy or a breast lift.
  • Drain management: Patients with surgical drains often stay until the drains are removed locally.
  • Post-op follow-up: Surgeons like Dr. Rafael Camberos check your incisions before you travel.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Tijuana clinics like PLASTIKS focus on high-volume care. They treat about 450 patients each year, so the facilities often partner with specialized recovery houses. These houses offer nursing care that makes staying a full 7 days worth it — and that is safer than a quick 3-day turnaround in a standard hotel.

Patient Consensus: People often feel surprisingly good hours after a simple removal. Even so, most suggest a full week if drains are involved. Choosing a recovery suite with meals makes the first 5 days much simpler.
