Abdominoplasty in Tijuana

The price is defined in your assessment, based on the technique your case requires (full, mini, or combined with another procedure). We prefer to give you a personalized quote rather than a generic price. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll guide you.

It's the surgery that removes excess abdominal skin and, when the case requires it, repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis). It's performed through an incision whose extent depends on your anatomy and the goal you define with Dr. Chama in your assessment.

No. It's not a weight-loss method or a substitute for diet or exercise. It's a body-contouring surgery designed for skin and muscle that no longer respond to those changes on their own — typically once your weight has already stabilized.

They solve different problems. Liposuction removes localized fat; it doesn't correct excess skin or separated muscle. Abdominoplasty does treat excess skin and, if applicable, diastasis. In some cases they're combined, but that's decided by Dr. Chama based on your anatomy, never by default. See liposuction for more detail.

In general terms, it's best suited for people with stable weight, no plans for future pregnancy, and in good general health. The medical assessment is what confirms whether your case qualifies — there's no generic answer that fits everyone.

When there are pending pregnancy plans, when your weight is still actively changing (up or down), or when there are uncontrolled health conditions. Dr. Chama is direct in your assessment if your timing isn't right yet.

Generally under general anesthesia, in a hospital setting (Hospital MAC). Incision extent and whether it's combined with another procedure are defined in your consultation, based on your specific plan. We don't show images of the procedure: the information here is educational.

It's major surgery with real recovery, not a minor outpatient procedure. The first days require active rest and a compression garment; activity is reintroduced progressively over the following weeks. Timing varies by patient; in your assessment you receive concrete instructions.

As with any major surgery, it carries risks: infection, variable scarring, fluid buildup (seroma), asymmetry, or the possibility of needing a revision. Dr. Chama explains them in detail in your assessment, along with what's done to reduce them.

We offer a bilingual virtual assessment to review your case before you cross. Because this is major surgery, your stay in Tijuana is usually a few days longer than for minor procedures, to cover surgery and the first postoperative check-up; after that, follow-up continues remotely.
