Benefits of Liposuction in Colombia with Dr. Fulvio Correa
Refined Body Contouring
Liposuction is designed to remove localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise, allowing for a more balanced and proportionate body contour.
Each procedure is carefully planned based on your anatomy, goals, and medical evaluation, focusing on natural and harmonious results.
Personalized Approach for Men and Women
Liposuction can be performed in both men and women, with a surgical approach adapted to each body type.
Men often seek improved definition in areas such as the abdomen, waist, and chest, while women commonly focus on contouring the abdomen, waist, and curves — always respecting natural proportions.
Possibility to Combine Procedures
Depending on your medical evaluation, liposuction may be combined with other surgical procedures such as breast surgery, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, or as part of a Mommy Makeover.
This allows qualified patients to optimize recovery time and overall results under a single, well-planned surgical approach.
Advanced Surgical Technology
At Fulvio Correa Plastic Surgery, advanced technology is used to enhance precision and improve recovery.
Techniques such as vibration-assisted liposuction and skin retraction systems help achieve better definition while minimizing tissue trauma and postoperative discomfort.
Structured Recovery for International Patients
One of the main concerns for patients traveling from the United States is having enough time for surgery and recovery.
For this reason, we offer a structured care and recovery plan, including access to our Recovery House, a space designed to support proper postoperative care in a safe and controlled environment.
This approach allows patients to recover comfortably before returning home.

What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. It is not a weight-loss solution, but a technique used to refine body shape and improve proportions.
This procedure is commonly performed on areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms, back, and neck. Through small, discreet incisions, excess fat is carefully removed to create a more balanced and natural-looking silhouette.
Liposuction is ideal for patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle with stubborn fat in specific areas. Every case requires a personalized medical evaluation to determine candidacy and define the safest surgical approach.
When considering liposuction abroad, choosing an experienced and properly trained surgeon is essential.
Dr. Fulvio Correa is a certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring procedures, known for delivering safe, precise, and natural results for international patients.

How do I know if I am a candidate for reduction mammoplasty?
R: You are a candidate for reduction mammoplasty when your breast tissue is abundant and you present symptoms such as low back pain. Also if you have sagging breast skin and want to lift your breasts without implants.
How do I know if I am a candidate for liposculpture?
R: You are a candidate for liposculpture if you have localized fat accumulation in the abdominal region, flanks, back, arms and even legs, also if you do not have skin flaccidity. Remember that this is a surgery to contour the body, not to lose weight.
How do I know if I am a candidate for abdominoplasty?
R: You are a candidate for abdominoplasty if you have flaccidity in the skin, which frequently occurs after pregnancies which causes distension, loss of elasticity of the abdominal skin, appearance of stretch marks and diastasis of the rectus abdominals. In 99% of the cases the abdominoplasty is accompanied by liposculpture in order to reshape areas like the waist and back.
How do I know if I am a candidate for breast pexy?
R: You are a candidate for breast pexy when your breasts have lost their initial position, or when you have abundant breast tissue that causes loss elasticity of the skin what is known as breast ptosis ( falling of the breasts). This usually occurs after considerable weight changes or after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
What type of anesthesia will I receive during the surgery?
R: The anesthesia of choice for aesthetic surgeries is general anesthesia because it ensures total control of the patient’s airway and therefore gives us greater security for the patient.
