Transportation for rhinoplasty and plastic surgery in Tijuana
After facial surgery the passenger is swollen, packed, splinted and very sensitive to bumps and sunlight. The vehicle and the route matter more here than almost anywhere else.
What the first days after a rhinoplasty are like
A patient leaving a rhinoplasty typically has a splint or cast, internal packing, swelling around the eyes and strict instructions not to bump the nose, not to bend over and not to strain. Bright light is uncomfortable. So is a pothole.
That makes the drive from the clinic to the recovery house — fifteen minutes on paper — one of the most delicate trips we run. We recline the seat before arrival, choose the smoothest route rather than the shortest, brake gently and keep the cabin cool and dim.
The same applies to the rest of plastic surgery
Tummy tucks, liposuction, breast procedures and facelifts each have their own version of the problem: an incision that objects to twisting, a compression garment, drains, or a face that should not be jostled. What they share is that the patient cannot brace themselves the way a healthy passenger can.
We dispatch the Toyota Sienna for all of them: low step-in, wide sliding door, room to recline, and a companion seat beside the patient instead of behind.
Follow-ups, splint removal and going home
A plastic surgery stay usually includes a check the day after, drain or splint removal around day five to seven, and then the crossing home. Booked together, those movements cost less and are handled by drivers who already know the case.
For the flight home, remember that swelling peaks in the first days: build margin into the airport transfer and, on the northbound crossing, use the medical lane pass rather than sitting in a hot queue with a fresh face.

Frequently asked questions about rhinoplasty & plastic surgery transportation in San Diego
Most plastic surgery patients move from the clinic to a recovery house the same day, and cross back after five to seven days. Your surgeon sets the date; we hold the window.

Mention both when you book. We prepare the seat, allow extra time at each end and choose a gentler route.
Yes. Swelling, packing and heat are a bad combination, and the northbound queue is where all three meet. The pass is included in Premium Medical Transportation.
