Renew Bariatrics is a private surgical center founded in 2017. It runs two branches in Tijuana and Cancún, Mexico. Patients come from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Nine doctors on the team specialize in metabolic and body contouring procedures.
Accreditations and Surgeon Credentials
The clinic is accredited by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). All lead surgeons are double board-certified in bariatric and general surgery. The Mexican Council of General Surgery and the Mexican College of Surgery for Obesity verify these certifications.
Over 9,000 patients have chosen this clinic for weight loss surgery. Dr. Héctor Pérez leads the team with over 20 years of experience. He has performed more than 5,000 bariatric surgeries and is a member of IFSO. Dr. Pérez also teaches fellowships to train new bariatric specialists.
Other notable specialists include Dr. Antonio Cueva and Dr. Jorge Green. Both have nearly two decades of experience and thousands of surgeries behind them. This high volume shapes how the team advises patients and sets safety protocols.
Weight Loss Surgery
Renew Bariatrics performs all weight loss operations with laparoscopic techniques. Because these methods use small incisions, patients go home sooner. The clinic offers several surgical and endoscopic options:
- Gastric Sleeve (VSG) – including a single-incision (SILS) option
- Gastric Bypass – Roux-en-Y and mini gastric bypass (single anastomosis)
- Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) – a non-surgical procedure with no incisions
- Gastric Balloon – a temporary silicone device filled with saline or air
- Duodenal Switch – an advanced metabolic surgery
Gastric sleeve patients lose an average of 22.8% of total body weight at one year. ESG typically leads to 18% to 20% body weight loss within two years. For gastric bypass, surgeons report a median operating time of 113 minutes.
Before discharge, the medical team runs multiple leak tests. Patients receive lifetime nutritional guidance and follow-up visits for the first year. Nutritionist meetings take place two weeks and three months after the procedure.
Plastic and Aesthetic Medicine
The clinic offers body contouring for patients who have lost a lot of weight. Surgeons perform these procedures at SER Hospital in Tijuana. Patients must keep a stable weight for several months before surgery.
Available body contouring and aesthetic services include:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and full body lifts
- Liposuction and Brazilian butt lift (BBL)
- Mommy makeovers and breast augmentation
- Facial rejuvenation, including facelifts and Botox
- Hair transplants and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy
Plastic surgery candidates must complete a detailed medical questionnaire. It reviews medications, allergies, and surgical history to confirm candidacy. Each patient then gets a personalized quote based on their anatomy and goals.
Safety Protocols and Monitoring
Structured pre-operative checklists and monitoring help keep patients safe. After surgery, patients stay two nights in a private hospital room. A bilingual doctor is on call for any immediate concerns.
The clinic uses GLP-1 medications (semaglutide) in its non-surgical slimming programs. Gastric balloons are inflated endoscopically, so no surgical cuts are needed. Specialists give bloodwork guidance so patients can check their health twice a year.
Services for International Patients
Renew Bariatrics offers all-inclusive packages that cover medical fees and logistics. A dedicated coordinator handles travel, surgery, and recovery planning 24/7. Support is available in both English and Spanish.
International services include several transportation and lodging options:
- Airport transfers from San Diego, Tijuana, and Cancún
- Private transportation for all medical appointments
- Lodging in partner hotels instead of recovery houses
- Take-home medications and written prescriptions for border crossings
- Free initial phone and virtual consultations
US patients can pay with HSA or FSA funds. One companion may stay with the patient. Before arrival, all patients receive a digital travel guide and passport requirement instructions.
