How to choose a plastic surgeon in Colombia

People searching for the best plastic surgeon in Colombia will not find an official ranking. “The best” without a record you can open is marketing. This page is the checklist: look up the surgeon, look up the clinic, then read what this practice has already published about Dr. Fulvio Correa.

Updated

Three checks you can do before you book

A consultation and a written quote come after those three. A social-media following is not a credential. Volume of surgery in a country is not a quality ranking.

What is already published about Dr. Fulvio Correa

Dr. Fulvio Correa is a plastic surgeon in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. His full name, as published by the practice, is Fulvio Alexander Correa Vitola. He has more than 15 years of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery and has performed more than 3,000 procedures. Those figures come from the official biography. They are not a ranking.

He is a Miembro de Número of the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva (SCCP). The society profile is public. He is also a member of FILACP, the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery. FILACP brings together plastic surgery specialists in Latin America. The SCCP is Colombia’s national society.

Training published by the practice: a medical degree at the University of Cartagena, and postgraduate training at the Ivo Pitanguy Institute in Rio de Janeiro. The ReTHUS registration lists him as a physician (Médico), University of Cartagena, 2003, with a specialization in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, registered since 2004. This site does not publish the registry ID or the card image.

Consultations are at the office in Manzanillo del Mar: Vía Entrada a Manzanillo I-90A #10, CC Ramblas, local 23, Cartagena de Indias. Surgery is at CAPRI Clinic, Anillo Vial Km 12, Edificio Génesis, Puerta de las Américas / Pontezuela. Those are two addresses. The team confirms which one a visit uses.

Office hours for the team are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Colombia time. Consultations with Dr. Correa are Tuesday and Thursday, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. His special interest, as the biography states it, is breast surgery with tissue-preservation techniques and body contouring. Spanish and English are both used for patient care.

What these facts do not say

The quote is separate from the checklist

Estimated ranges for surgery with this practice are on the plastic surgery cost page. Among operations listed on their own, eyelid surgery starts at USD 3,600. A consultation is USD 150 / COP 400,000. The real quote is the one written after a virtual or in-person consultation. A mommy makeover, a Brazilian butt lift with fat transfer, and liposuction that is not HD liposculpture are quoted per case. The recovery house in Cartagena — 24/7 nursing, transfers, and supplies — is arranged at the valuation and has no package price.

had chin liposuction with Dr. Fulvio Correa about a year ago, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. I actually traveled to Colombia for the procedure, and after having a few consultations with other places, his team stood out the most and truly for good reason. His recommendations were spot on and made me feel confident I was making the right choice. This was my first surgery, so my anxiety was definitely higher than usual, but Dr. Correa and his team were so kind, patient, and attentive that I felt calm and comfortable the entire time. They made sure I understood everything and created such a reassuring environment during the procedure. A year later, I’m still so happy with my results they look natural and exactly as this is something he prides himself in. I’m truly grateful for how caring and lovely everyone was throughout the entire process. If I ever consider another procedure, they would be the first ones I’d go to. Highly recommend!!!

I recently had reconstructive abdominal surgery (tummy tuck), 360 lipo, fat transfer, and chin lipo, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. After having many consultations locally in the U.S. and Colombia, I chose Dr. Fulvio Correa, and it was the best decision I made. His confidence in his work truly shines through, putting me at ease throughout the process. The travel arrangements were seamless, and the recovery house provided the perfect environment for healing, with 24/7 care and daily massages. The entire team was excellent, from the surgical staff to the nurses who ensured my recovery went smoothly. I’m beyond happy with the results and highly recommend Dr. Fulvio and his team for anyone considering these procedures.

I can say that I have had a great Experience with the Doctor Fulvio Correa as well as with his team, starting from my consultant Vanessa, my massage girl Isabel, and the rest of the doctors. My experience is been great since day one, they have answered all my inquiries at any time, the process was very easy I traveled and my surgery was already scheduled, I got a package that included the surgery, pre-tests, drainage massages, and a few other stuff and it was the best decision I made to buy everything together. The surgery day I was very nervous and anxious like never in my life and everything came out better than I expected. My body is still inflamed and I am still recovering but I will definitely recommend anyone who wants to look better to try Dr. Fulvio and his team. They are Amazing !

Questions about choosing a surgeon

Who is the best plastic surgeon in Colombia?

There is no official ranking. A claim of “the best” without a record you can check is marketing. Verify ReTHUS, SCCP membership, and that the clinic’s surgical service is authorized in REPS. Then have a consultation and ask for a written quote.

How do I verify a plastic surgeon in the SCCP?

Use the society’s own surgeon directory and, if a profile is claimed, open that profile. Dr. Fulvio Correa’s SCCP profile is public and lists him as Miembro de Número. Membership is something you can confirm. It does not promise a result.

What is ReTHUS?

ReTHUS is the Colombian Ministry of Health registry of health professionals. Registration is how a person is authorized to practice. Dr. Correa has been registered since 2004, including a specialization in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. The registry ID is not published here.

Where does Dr. Fulvio Correa operate?

Surgery is at CAPRI Clinic in Cartagena. Consultations are at the office in CC Ramblas, Manzanillo del Mar. Confirm the address for each visit with the team. CAPRI’s phone is the clinic’s, not the office phone.

Does a long list of procedures mean a better result?

No. The biography states more than 15 years and more than 3,000 procedures. That is experience, not a rank, and it does not predict your result. Suitability is decided at consultation.

How do I ask for a consultation?

You can request a virtual or in-person valuation. The consultation fee published by the practice is USD 150 / COP 400,000. The surgical figure that applies to you is the one in the written quote after that visit.

Start with the records, then the conversation

Open the SCCP profile and the ReTHUS lookup, read the CAPRI page so you know it is not the consultation office, and then ask the team about your own case. The longer guide to trips, cities and what changes a quote is the plastic surgery in Colombia page. This page does not replace it, and it does not rank surgeons.
