Dr. Fulvio Correa, plastic surgeon in Cartagena, Colombia

Official biography

Plastic surgery with precision, naturalness and purpose

Dr. Fulvio Correa is a plastic surgeon in Cartagena, Colombia, and a Member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP), the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva. He has more than 15 years of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery and has performed over 3,000 procedures throughout his career.

He is also a member of the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP), which, like the SCCP, brings together plastic surgery specialists from Colombia and across Latin America.

Training: University of Cartagena and the Ivo Pitanguy Institute

He earned his medical degree at the University of Cartagena and went on to train in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the renowned Ivo Pitanguy Institute, one of the most influential schools in Latin American plastic surgery. That foundation, together with years in the operating room and ongoing professional development, shaped the philosophy behind his work: transform without losing who you are.

Transformation without losing your identity

For Dr. Correa, every patient is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all operation and no aesthetic result that can be applied the same way to everyone. That is why each procedure begins with an individual assessment of your anatomy, proportions and expectations, leading to a personalized surgical plan aimed at results that look natural, balanced, elegant and lasting.

Preserve before you alter

A core principle of his practice is to preserve tissue and anatomy whenever possible. His special interest in breast surgery and body contouring has led him to adopt contemporary concepts and techniques designed to reduce surgical trauma, protect anatomical structures and respect the natural features of the body.

Breast surgery in Colombia with tissue-preservation techniques

In breast surgery, this philosophy shows in his use of modern preservation techniques, which aim to keep as much of the tissue intact as possible while creating a breast that looks harmonious, proportionate and natural.

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift and reduction

Body contouring designed around your anatomy

In body contouring, the same principle means procedures planned around each patient’s anatomy, defining and restoring proportions without artificial or cookie-cutter results.

• Liposuction
• Tummy tuck
• Mommy makeover

More than surgery: a complete experience

For Dr. Fulvio Correa, excellence in plastic surgery is not only about what happens in the operating room. Preparation, safety, support, recovery and follow-up all shape the final result. That is why he works with a multidisciplinary team that supports you at every stage, from your first consultation through your post-operative recovery.

Welcoming patients from Colombia and abroad

This model of care has allowed him to build a practice in Cartagena de Indias that is prepared to welcome both Colombian patients and international patients who travel for personalized medical care and a carefully planned surgical experience.

A patient-centered philosophy

After more than 15 years in practice and thousands of procedures, his philosophy still starts from a simple idea:

The best plastic surgery does not turn you into someone else. It helps you become a more harmonious version of yourself.

Every operation is a balance of scientific knowledge, experience, technical precision and aesthetic sensitivity. The goal is not simply to create change, but for you to recognize yourself after surgery, with a result that feels natural, proportionate and your own.
