Dr. Chang answers the key question: Where to get thigh liposuction in Tijuana?. This guide integrates medical criteria, safety standards, techniques, recovery, risks, and costs, giving you a reliable perspective to make the best decision.
Tijuana as a medical tourism hub
Tijuana has become a leading destination for plastic surgery. Its proximity to the U.S. and competitive prices attract thousands of patients. Safety depends on choosing a certified surgeon and accredited facility. In Mexico, COFEPRIS oversees surgical centers, and CMCPER certifies surgeons.
Thigh liposuction vs. thigh lift
Thigh liposuction is ideal for patients with localized fat and good skin elasticity, while a thigh lift is better for those with excess, sagging skin. Sometimes both are combined for optimal results.
Techniques
Tumescent technique
The most widely used method, involving infiltration of lidocaine and epinephrine. The NIH confirms its safety when used properly.
Energy-assisted liposuction
Includes ultrasound, laser, or RF. Dr. Chang selectively applies advanced techniques such as Vaser liposuction in Tijuana for delicate zones like the inner thigh.
Ideal candidates
Stable weight, localized fat, good skin elasticity, good health, non-smokers, and realistic expectations. When laxity is significant, a thigh lift may be necessary.
Procedure step by step
Evaluation, marking, tumescent anesthesia, infiltration, controlled aspiration, contouring, compression garments, and post-op monitoring. In some cases combined with comprehensive liposculpture in Tijuana for balance.
Recovery
According to the ASPS: weeks 1–2 involve swelling and bruising; weeks 3–4 light activity resumes; weeks 6–8 allow moderate exercise; final results at 3–6 months.
Risks
Bruising, swelling, temporary paresthesia, seromas, infection, or thrombosis (rare). Reduced with certified surgeons and facilities.
Costs
Depend on fat volume, technique, combined procedures, surgeon fees, and post-op care. In Tijuana, costs are 40–60% lower than in the U.S.
