Overview

Vive Plastic Surgery is a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, that provides cosmetic surgery and lists bariatric care among its services. Its bariatric offering includes gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, gastric balloon, revision surgery, and metabolic or diabetes surgery. The clinic’s bariatric page describes medical weight-loss surgery and lists a typical procedure duration of 2–3 hours, general anesthesia, and an outpatient stay; these are service-page details, not individualized guidance. The available materials do not identify a lead bariatric surgeon or a hospital affiliation. The clinic profile lists English and Spanish. Vive’s website advertises 24/7 recovery support, while the supplied profile also mentions on-site recovery support. The website describes its care as board-certified, but the available bariatric listing does not name a bariatric surgeon or specify the relevant certification. A third-party directory lists the clinic at Av. Salvador Novo 1070, Zona Urbana Río, Tijuana.

Veronica F. · Lipo/BBL Oct 2024

I've had a horrific and life threatening experience with Dr Felix in Tijuana VIVE location. After having surgery with him I'm developed a deadly disease from dirty surgical instruments (NECROSIS). I only met Dr Felix 1 time when he came into my rm to draw the lipo/bbl areas 5 hours later at 930pm I was taken into the surgery room the dr was no where to be seen! After he was also not there to be seen. Next day he was also not available to be seen. I stayed at there recovery home for 2 nights after them double booking and asking me to leave early. Its started showing up as hot red bump around day 5. I went back…

My daughter had surgery. Only saw the surgeon the day of the surgery. Post op and after seeing by other workers. Can't get a hold of the doctor for any questions or concerns. People staff are very rude.

Monica F. · Breast reduction and BBL Feb 2024

I don't even know where to start. Had surgery on the 25 of January. I paid 11k for a breast reduction and BBL. The rooms were dirty. There were stains on my bed sheets. The hospital is really low quality with low quality beds. The nurses are so mean and the massage nurse Mari will bully you into buying things. I told them I was in pain and was left in pain for about 1 hour in a half until I told them it's been a hour in a half. She gave me attitude the rest of the day after that. I told my nurse I didn't like papaya and her response was "well then don't eat it". So I…

Jessica M. · Rhinoplasty Jun 2024

Do not go! I read the reviews and went anyway. I opted out of the surgery last minute and they refuse to give me my money back!! Yup, all $4100! I know they keep your deposit but they won't give me anything back. The staff isn't friendliest, the hospital is so dirty and smells and there is no toilet paper in the rooms. You wait all day to be seen by your surgeon just for him to tell me I need an added surgery (to remove some of my rib) for rhinoplasty. I had to cancel because I had no more money. I had already been there all day since 9am fasting just to be told this info last minute.…
