Dr. Alfredo Chama Naranjo
Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgeon, in Tijuana.

How he works
Assessment first, plan after
Dr. Chama doesn’t offer a procedure without reviewing it first. Every consultation starts with a medical assessment: anatomy, clinical history, and whether the procedure you’re looking for is really the right fit for your case. The plan — technique, anesthesia, and scope — is built after that review, never before. When a procedure doesn’t apply, or it’s better to wait, that’s what you’re told in consultation.
Procedures are performed in a hospital setting, at a hospital setting, Tijuana — not in an adapted office. A hospital operating room brings the anesthesia equipment, the sterilization protocol, and the backup for any unexpected event that an office cannot offer. In plastic surgery, that backup isn’t an extra.
First consultation
What to expect before you decide anything
No stage gets skipped. Here’s the path, from your first message to your quote.
01 · First contact
You write on WhatsApp and tell us what you’d like to change. The practice asks the medical-history questions it needs to know whether it makes sense to move forward.
02 · Virtual or in-person consultation
A video call or an in-person appointment in Tijuana is scheduled, depending on where you live.
03 · Medical assessment
Dr. Chama reviews your anatomy and history, and tells you honestly whether the procedure you’re looking for applies to your case.
04 · Plan and quote
If the procedure moves forward, you receive the technique, pre-operative care, and a personalized quote — never a generic price handed out before your assessment.
Cross-border care
Bilingual care, on both sides of the border
Consultation, informed consent, and follow-up are handled in Spanish and English, without half-translating anything. For someone traveling from the United States, that means resolving medical questions in their own language, directly with the person who will operate on them. We see patients from across the U.S. as well as locally from Rosarito and Tecate.
First contact can be a virtual consultation, without crossing the border yet. If the plan moves forward, your visit to Tijuana is coordinated by the practice and follow-up can be handled remotely. We don’t promise border-crossing times: they depend on the port of entry and your documentation, outside the practice’s hands.

Scope
What procedures he performs
The practice covers three areas: facial surgery, body surgery, and reconstructive surgery. None of them is offered generically — each one starts from the medical assessment described above, and not every case qualifies for every procedure.
Facial surgery
Blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, rhytidectomy, and mentoplasty. Blepharoplasty has its own page — you can review it at blepharoplasty.
Body surgery
Liposculpture, abdominoplasty, and breast augmentation with Motiva implants, based on your anatomy and clinical history.
Reconstructive surgery
Breast reconstruction after cancer and other reconstructive procedures, with long-term support.
Before you decide
How to choose your plastic surgeon
This shouldn’t be a decision made by price or by the prettiest photo on social media. Here’s what’s worth verifying about any surgeon you consider, Dr. Chama included:
Real certification
Confirm they’re a board-certified plastic surgeon, not just an aesthetics course without backing. You can ask the practice for the details directly.
Where they operate
A certified hospital operating room is not the same as an adapted office. Ask where the procedure is performed.
Real before-and-afters
Ask to see results from their own work, not from a catalog or another clinic.
Protocol for complications
Ask what happens if something doesn’t go as expected: who treats you, and at which hospital.
Full communication in your language
If you’re crossing the border for treatment, confirm that consultation and follow-up are handled completely in your language.
Be wary of a price without an assessment
A serious quote comes after your case is reviewed, never before.
