🧳 Travel Tips for Mexico
Border Crossing (Tijuana)
Cross at San Ysidro (world's busiest border). Park in USA and walk across ($0.50) or drive ($20-30 parking in Tijuana). Bring passport. Return wait times 1-3 hours; consider SENTRI lane if you have it.
Currency & Payments
Most dental/medical offices accept USD cash. Exchange rate ~20 pesos per dollar. ATMs widely available. Credit cards accepted but may have 3-5% surcharge.
Safety
Medical zones (Zona Rio in Tijuana, hotel zones in Cancun) are safe and tourist-friendly. Use hospital/hotel taxis, avoid unlicensed cabs. Travel during daylight hours.
Post-Op Travel
Dental work: OK to fly same day. Bariatric surgery: stay 2-3 days, clear liquid diet only. Cosmetic surgery: 7-10 day stay recommended before flying.
