Post-Surgery Care in Tijuana
A place to rest. A team to support you.
At Bella Recovery House, we support your post-surgery stay with 24/7 care, assistance with
everyday activities, and meals arranged around your doctor's instructions.
Located in downtown Tijuana, Mexico, our recovery house offers a place to rest and a team to
help you follow your care plan throughout your stay.
Recovery After Surgery Across All Specialties
We welcome adults recovering from procedures across all surgical specialties, from outpatient
procedures to surgeries that involve a longer recovery.
Your stay begins after medical discharge, when your treating team determines that you can
continue recovering outside the hospital and your care needs are appropriate for a recovery
house.
Specialties and surgical areas you can plan a stay for include:
• Plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgery: facial, breast, and body contouring
procedures.
• Bariatric and metabolic surgery: surgical treatment for obesity and related conditions.
• General and digestive surgery: abdominal, gallbladder, hernia, and other digestive
procedures.
• Colorectal surgery: procedures involving the colon, rectum, and anal region.
• Orthopedic surgery: bone, joint, ligament, hand, and foot procedures, including joint
replacements.
• Spine surgery and neurosurgery: recovery following procedures involving the spine,
nervous system, and peripheral nerves.
• Gynecologic and obstetric surgery: gynecologic procedures and maternal recovery
following a C-section.
• Urologic surgery: procedures involving the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and other urinary
and male reproductive structures.
• Ear, nose, and throat surgery: ENT procedures.
• Ophthalmic surgery: procedures involving the eyes and surrounding structures.
• Oral and maxillofacial surgery: mouth, jaw, and facial procedures, including dental
implant surgery.
• Surgical oncology: recovery following cancer-related surgery.
• Breast and endocrine surgery: procedures involving the breasts, thyroid, and other
glands.

If your procedure has a different name or involves several specialties, share your doctor's
instructions so we can organize support for your stay.
Support 24 Hours a Day, Every Day
We provide 24/7 care with personnel qualified for the support you need during your stay.
Your assistance is organized around your procedure, mobility needs, and treating team's
instructions. Each staff member works within their professional role and training.
When you arrive, we explain how to request help and how to report questions, discomfort, or
changes in how you feel.
Help with Everyday Activities
After surgery, simple activities may require assistance. Our team supports you with patience, respect, and attention to your comfort.
Depending on your care plan, we help with:
• Personal hygiene, dressing, and other daily needs.

Clinical care follows medical instructions and is provided by appropriately qualified personnel.
Changes to treatment or medication doses are directed by your doctor.
Meals Arranged Around Your Medical Instructions
We organize meals according to your doctor's instructions, including prescribed dietary
restrictions, food textures, portions, and meal frequency.
If your recovery involves a staged diet, we follow the plan provided by your treating team.
When no specific diet is prescribed, we provide our regular meal service while taking your
dietary needs and any medical recommendations into account.
Snacks and beverages are also available. Their selection and in-room meal service are
arranged according to medical instructions and individual needs.
When planning your stay, tell us about allergies, intolerances, and dietary restrictions so we
can prepare for your arrival.
Direct Communication with Your Treating Team
We communicate with your doctor or their team through calls, messaging, and agreed contact
channels to relay questions, share relevant changes, and follow up on instructions.
When you arrive, we collect your discharge instructions, care plan, and treating team's contact
information. This helps us keep your information organized and communicate your needs
clearly.
When You Need Additional Attention, We Take Action
If you experience unexpected discomfort or a change in your condition, tell our team immediately.
Our response protocol includes:
-
The responsible staff member attends to you and gathers relevant information within their scope of practice.
-
If an emergency is suspected, we activate emergency services without waiting for a message back from your doctor.
-
We communicate the situation and request instructions when appropriate.
-
If you need assessment outside Bella, we facilitate appropriate care and transportation based on the urgency.
-
We share necessary information with the professionals caring for you, document the event, and update your authorized contact.
Responding to a possible emergency takes priority over administrative procedures.
