Fat Reduction in Tijuana: Best Clinics and Costs 2025

My medical team with carlos leading, was great. I couldn't ask for any better. From start to finish, he was always available. He speaks perfect English. He checked on me daily. The price quotes did not change. Dr aylana is very knowledgeable in his field. In the consultation he asked me what my expectations were. He didn't try to talk me into any procedures I didn't need. He was honest about what he could do. Having medical procedures abroad is different from the US. It is still safe for fraction of the price.

Terrible surgeon. Will not take the time to speak with you, when he does he knows limited English and is very very rushed. The first time me he gave me results that were so drastic I looked like a pig or someone from who-ville. I had to pay for a second surgery for him to give me my old nose but even worse! (Again super rushed, had zero time to make a decision). Absolutely awful experience. Scary. He refused to even try to fix my nose now for another 6 months. Even though I offered to pay again. Have to date and see friends humiliated with a half finished face. Go to someone with talent and who actually cares. He doesn’t. You are just a number to the surgeons there.

Dr. Marraquin was amazing. He spent over an hour with me on my consultation before my surgery. Let me know absolutely everything that was going to happen. His years of training is quite obvious to anybody who is requesting his services. He answered every question I could possibly think of. Additionally, he was available through text messaging 24 hours a day. He’s response time was impressive. I was very pleased with the outcome of my facelift. I would refer him to any buddy I know.

Dr Ana was very sweet and helpful as was her daughter Louise. Despite the language barrier they were able to communicate to me what the procedure was going to be in terms of medical tests on surgery day. The anesthetist was wonderful and easy to communicate with. The nurses who tended to me post procedure were very kind, but there was definitely a language barrier. I had hoped to be able to use my phones translator, but did not anticipate how difficult it would be for me to move after the procedure often times I would not be able to reach my phone. Once I arrived there, there were some nominal unanticipated additional costs that I was not made aware of. Specifically, $200 a night to sleep another night in the clinic when I was too swollen and sore to move and wasn't going to be able to get on a plane just yet. I stayed in a nice hotel the night before the procedure and paid only $77 for that accommodation. It would be different if they had been bringing me juice and water frequently or otherwise caring for me, but I often found myself dehydrated and lacking cold water. I appreciate that they brought me food, but all of the food that they brought me was so dry that I could not eat it because my mouth was already so dry. They were very sweet to go and get me and ice cream when I asked for a popsicle. Otherwise you got whatever they gave you, whenever they decided to give it to you. The rest of the time I was just left alone in my room, which was fine because I really was not able to move. There are times and it would have been helpful to have someone nearby to hand me lip balm from my bag, but generally I was left by myself. I am 2 weeks out from my procedure so I'm still very swollen, St iff and sore, but I can tell that the surgeon did an excellent job with my procedure. I'm very happy with the results I'm seeing so far and anticipate being even happier as the swelling goes down and my new figure fully reveals itself. This is not the same kind of experience as having cosmetic surgery in the states. There's very little consultation/ pre-op care other than the scheduling. The Aftercare is almost non-existent. I was prepared for that and so I had real significant complaints outside of the lack of pain management offered post procedure.

I highly recommend Bookimed is just really convenient.The transportation to and from the hotel, hospital and airport went smoothly. Everyone was extremely welcoming and nice. I felt save and comfortable. The nurses were very attentive and my doctor was very humble and informative. Everything went smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. So don’t worry about coming alone you’ll be alright, everything is really taking care of.

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.

Hospital fine, clean decent staff Got gynecomastia surgery, emintha into healing moderately okay results, had maybe grade one maybe grade 2 gyno, got glands removed as I was very lean, Surgeon made long incisions, along my chest, have two ling 3 Inch scars on either side of my nipples on both side of my chest Fland wasn't fully removed on my left side so have recurring gyno, Need steriod injection to help with scaring, surgeon isn't competent enough to go through the nipples to leave no scarring, Pictures they send of before and after are a lie, Probably look worse than before cant take my top off after, The response to this was get laser treatment or steriod injections Sub par save your money go somewhere else Probably the same for most procedures they do

Make sure your very clear on needs and expectations. Or they will nickel and dime you. Even though rides to and from border are included they will try to make to find your own way. After your surgery, no before, Will offer you a ride option across border but then later charge you for it. Also charged separately for bandaging materials used after surgery !!?!? if you dont pay you are sent away with nothing. (No they dont bandage you up unless you pay extra after the surgery). Beware of carlo he is not a point of contact only marketing manager and has no place in your medical conversations or booking, he only convoluted things between the dr and the real point of contact making for a frustrating and less then enjoyable experience.

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 felt tricked in my experience. I informed the clinic of my entire medical history several months in advance. However, after i booked flights and hotel and arrived in Tijuana, i was informed that they felt my surgery would be too risky, even though i had passed all their medical exams. On top of all that, they charged me $200 for the tests! I do NOT recommend Gilenis to anybody ever. The Bookimed service was great! The only problem i had was that i was referred to a shady clinic by the Bookimed reps are great about answering questions.
