Reconstructive surgery Reconstruction Why Dr. Chama
Verifiable authority, not adjectives
Almost every practice says the same thing. That's why here we only publish what can be verified: the specialty, where surgery takes place, which implants are used, and in what language you'll be treated.

CMCPER, Board Certification No. 2607 · Consejo Mexicano de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reconstructiva (CMCPER). Board certification.
A single discipline that covers both the cosmetic and the reconstructive side. - Motiva. Verified in Motiva's official surgeon locator; offers Preservé and Motiva MinimalScar. Being verified in the locator is a fact you can check on your own, not an exclusivity label.
- Hospital setting. Procedures are performed at Hospital MAC, Plaza Península, Tijuana — a hospital operating room, with the equipment and protocols that implies. Not an adapted office, not a spa floor.
- Bilingual corridor. Consultation, informed consent, and follow-up are handled in Spanish and English, for patients from Tijuana, Rosarito, and Tecate and for those arriving from the San Diego area.
- Declared scope. Facial, body, and reconstructive surgery — and nothing else.
In a few words
Your plan comes from your assessment. Not from a catalog, not from a template, not from a promise.
The judgment Dr. Chama works with
How it works
Your process in four steps
No stage gets skipped. Here's the full path, from your first message to your last check-up.
- 01
First contact and virtual consultation
You write on WhatsApp and tell us what you'd like to change. The practice asks the medical-history questions it needs and schedules a video call or an in-person appointment. No one hands you a surgical plan over a message — that conversation exists to understand your case and tell you if it's worth moving forward.
- 02
Medical assessment and plan
Dr. Chama reviews your anatomy, your history, and the result you're looking for. From there comes a concrete plan: technique, type of anesthesia, pre-op care, and the risks that apply to your case. Your quote is personalized and is delivered at this stage — never before your assessment.
- 03
Your procedure
It's performed in a hospital setting, at Hospital MAC. Beforehand you sign your informed consent and receive written pre-operative instructions. Communication with the person accompanying you is also handled in Spanish or English.
- 04
Recovery and follow-up
You leave with concrete instructions: care, warning signs, and when each check-up is due. Follow-up can be in person or remote if you live on the other side of the border. Recovery varies by patient and by procedure.
Aesthetics with judgment
Beauty, yes — but with medicine behind it
Every aesthetic decision starts as a medical decision: what's right for you, what its real scope is, and where its limit lies. That's not defined by a catalog or a trend; it's defined by your assessment.
Tijuana–San Diego corridor
Why Tijuana
Tijuana is a border city with its own hospital infrastructure and a medical community used to treating patients from both sides of the line. For someone living in Southern California, that means seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon without a long trip, and coming back for a check-up without reorganizing your entire week.
We won't promise you border-crossing times: they depend on the day, the port of entry, and your documentation, and the practice doesn't control that. What is in our hands is the logistics on this side: your first consultation can be virtual, your visit is coordinated from here, and follow-up can be handled remotely when your case allows it.
We treat patients from Tijuana, Rosarito, and Tecate, and from the San Diego area. If you're coming from out of town, say so from your first message — it changes how your appointments get organized.

Frequently asked questions
What patients ask us most
How much does surgery with Dr. Chama cost?
We don't publish prices because there is no single price: it changes with the procedure, the technique, and your clinical case. You receive a personalized quote after your assessment. Message us on WhatsApp and the practice will guide you.
Where does Dr. Chama see patients and operate?
In Tijuana, Baja California. Procedures are performed in a hospital setting, at Hospital MAC. The practice confirms the exact location and details when you schedule.
What procedures does he perform?
Facial surgery — blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, rhytidectomy, and mentoplasty —, body surgery — liposculpture, abdominoplasty, and breast augmentation —, and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction after cancer.
I live in the United States — how do I start?
With a virtual consultation. You share your case on WhatsApp, a video call is scheduled, and if the plan moves forward, your visit to Tijuana is coordinated. Follow-up afterward can be handled remotely.
Is care available in English?
Yes. The consultation, pre-operative instructions, and follow-up are handled in both Spanish and English — the same for local patients as for those coming from the San Diego area.
What implants are used for breast augmentation?
Motiva implants. Dr. Chama is verified in the brand's official surgeon locator and offers Preservé and MinimalScar. Which implant fits your case is defined in your assessment.
How long does recovery take?
It depends on the procedure and the patient, which is why we don't give a generic number. In your assessment you receive a realistic estimate for your case, written instructions, and follow-up dates.
How do I know if I'm a candidate?
That's determined in a medical assessment, and not every case qualifies. If a procedure isn't appropriate or it's better to wait, you're told so in consultation — saying so is also part of the job.
