Travel guide
Getting there, recovering well, getting home
Most of our patients are based in the US. Here's what to expect step by step — from the SENTRI lane in San Diego to a turn-key recovery in Istanbul or Bangkok.
San Diego → Tijuana
The 20-minute border advantage
For US patients on the West Coast, the San Diego–Tijuana corridor is the most efficient medical-tourism route in the world. With SENTRI you can cross in under 20 minutes, see your surgeon the same day, and stay in a US-standard recovery hotel within walking distance of the clinic.
- • Fly into SAN, cross via SENTRI lane (or Cross Border Xpress / CBX)
- • English-speaking, fully bilingual clinic teams
- • US-based phone numbers for post-op support after you return home
- • Same-day re-entry possible for short non-surgical procedures (fillers)
What to expect
Step by step
1 · Virtual consult
Free video consultation with your assigned coordinator and surgeon to confirm candidacy and review medical history.
2 · Book travel
Coordinator helps schedule flights, SENTRI/Global Entry guidance, and pre-op testing required by the clinic.
3 · Arrival & transport
Door-to-door ground transport from the airport (or San Diego SENTRI lane) to the clinic and recovery hotel.
4 · Recovery stay
5–8 nights in a partner recovery hotel with daily check-ins from the clinical team and post-op visits.
Recovery essentials
- Implants: 6–8 weeks to full activity. Avoid sexual activity for the duration your surgeon specifies.
- Ligament release: Traction protocol post-op is critical to outcomes.
- Fillers: Same-day return to most activity. Light tasks only for 48 hours.
- Travel home: Most surgical patients fly home 5–7 days post-op with clearance.
