Is facial surgery in Tijuana safe?

When patients use board-certified specialists in COFEPRIS-licensed facilities, outcomes for elective facial surgery in Tijuana are comparable to US care. Allure RT MX screens both the specialist's credentials and the facility before any patient is referred.

What does facial surgery cost in Tijuana versus the United States?

Allure RT MX facial-surgery starting prices for the surgery include Buccal Fat Removal (Bichectomy) from $1,450 (vs. $4,500-$8,500 in the U.S.), Upper Blepharoplasty from $2,450, Upper + Lower Blepharoplasty from $3,450 ($7,000-$12,500 U.S.), Neck Lift from $4,950, and a Deep-Plane Facelift + Neck Lift from $11,950 ($25,000-$45,000 U.S.). Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty are quoted after a personal photo review. Hospital stay, recovery stay, and transport are itemized in your written quote after consultation.

How long does the trip take?

Most patients are in Tijuana 3 to 7 days depending on procedure complexity. The clinic is roughly 30 minutes from San Diego, and Allure RT MX coordinates ground transport from the US side.

How does Allure RT MX verify surgeons?

We review board membership (CMCPER for cosmetic surgery, ASPS international membership where applicable), training history, recent case volume, and any malpractice record before referring a patient.

What is included in an Allure RT MX package?

Specialist coordination, ground transport from San Diego, in-country liaison, recovery accommodation arrangements, and US-side telehealth follow-up. Specific inclusions are listed on each personalized estimate.

What if I have a complication after I return home?

Patients keep a US-side coordinator number for 24/7 contact and a structured telehealth follow-up. In rare complication scenarios we coordinate the appropriate path forward with both sides of the border.

Do I need a passport or visa?

Yes for US travelers re-entering the US after a Tijuana visit. No visa is required for typical short stays under 180 days.

How quickly can I be scheduled?

Many procedures can be scheduled within 2 to 4 weeks of an approved consultation. Bariatric and stem cell protocols may have a slightly longer pre-op window for labs.

Patient perspective

The result you don’t notice is the one that aged well.

“Two U.S. surgeons tried to sell me on a deep-plane facelift. Allure’s team looked at my photos and said I needed eyelids and a neck lift, not a full facelift yet. They were right.”

Maria S. — Eyelid + Neck

“The rhinoplasty looks like my nose — just the version I always wanted. Nobody can tell I had work done. That was the whole point.”

Ricardo M. — Rhinoplasty

“The photo-led planning was the difference. They walked me through exactly what would change, what wouldn’t, and what to expect at three months vs. a year.”

Jenna L. — Facelift

Why Allure for facial surgery

Refinement is harder than transformation.

Facial surgery is the kind of work where the difference between an excellent result and a regrettable one comes down to planning, proportion, and a surgeon who knows when to do less. That’s the bar we plan against.

What this specialty really involves

Facial surgery is the kind of work where less is harder than more.

Most regrettable face surgeries don’t go wrong because of the operating room. They go wrong because nobody told the patient what was actually possible, what wasn’t, and where the line between refinement and overcorrection was going to land.

Allure RT MX is built around photo-led planning. Profile, frontal, and angled photos go to the surgical team before a quote is written. The conversation that follows covers what the procedure can do, what it can’t, and how the result will read in five years — not just five weeks post-op.

If you’re considering rhinoplasty, a first facelift, blepharoplasty, or a coordinated face-and-body refresh, the right starting point is the photo review — not a deposit.

Who this is for

Six paths into facial surgery, one honest conversation.

Patients arrive at facial surgery from very different starting points. The consultation focuses on which procedure actually fits and whether surgery is the right next step for you.

Path 01

Comparing rhinoplasty quotes

Patients holding one or two U.S. surgical quotes who want a real apples-to-apples comparison — surgeon credentials, suite, anesthesia, recovery, follow-up.

“Show me a real side-by-side cost.”

Path 02

Mid-40s+ considering a first facelift

Candidates wanting a candid read on whether a facelift is right yet, what kind, and how long the result will hold — not a sales pitch for the deepest plane.

“Tell me honestly if it’s time.”

Path 03

Tired-looking eyes

Upper or lower blepharoplasty is often the highest-impact single procedure — photo review tells us honestly whether brow plays a role too.

“Just stop the tired look.”

Path 04

Revision rhinoplasty

Patients who had nose surgery before and want a revision — bring photos, op reports, and a willingness to hear what’s structurally possible from here.

“Help me get this right the second time.”

Path 05

Coordinated face + body refresh

Rhinoplasty plus chin work, facelift plus body contouring, or any combined plan — scoped as one coordinated operation under one anesthesia.

“Plan it as one operation.”

Path 06

Privacy-minded planning and recovery

Discreet surgical planning, private transport, concierge recovery housing, and a coordinator who keeps the calendar tight on your behalf.

“Keep this off everyone’s radar.”

Questions patients ask

Facial-surgery FAQ — the questions that decide your candidacy

Answer:

That should not be the goal. Planning should focus on restoring support and shape while preserving your natural expression.

Answer:

Sometimes. Profile balance may involve both nose and chin, but candidacy and safety come first.

Answer:

Initial swelling improves over weeks, but final refinement can continue for months, especially with rhinoplasty.

Get my free quote

Answer:

Yes. The goal is usually to look rested, not different. Conservative planning is especially important around the eyes.
